The Global Hydrogel-based Drug Delivery System Market size is expected to reach $9.3 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 8% CAGR during the forecast period. Hydrogel refers to the three-dimensional polymeric networks that are proficient in absorbing small to large drug molecules. Thus, it is highly utilized in drug delivery applications. It becomes one of the potential drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and biodegradable properties along with an organized release profile. There were several studies conducted across the globe to develop the COVID-19 vaccine and some studies are still going on to develop an effective vaccine with the help of hydrogels, which showcase the future applications and opportunities of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems.
These hydrogel-based delivery systems leverage various therapeutically beneficial results of drug delivery and also showcase several clinical uses. Hydrogels offer spatial & temporal control throughout the release of several therapeutic agents that includes macromolecular drugs, small-molecule drugs, and cells. Due to the controllable degradability, tunable physical properties, and ability to preserve labile drugs from degradation, hydrogels operate as a platform where several physiochemical connections with the encapsulated drugs control their release.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the growth of almost every sector and economy of nations across the globe. The imposed lockdown, travel ban, and other norms have significantly affected various domains of businesses. However, the COVID-19 as positively impacted the hydrogel-based drug delivery system market as various clinical trials of the vaccines require hydrogel, which is contributing its market growth.
In addition, there are many pharma companies that are highly using hydrogel to carry out their research activities regarding new drug development and other clinical studies. Due to this, the demand for hydrogel-based drug delivery systems in the market has increased and further creating new growth avenues for the global market over the forecast period.
In the therapeutic field, drug delivery approaches need exceptional enhancements in developing safe transport systems to attain the required therapeutic effect and to eliminate the side effects. Biomimetic strategies including polymers explain advanced industrial products orientated to aimed therapy and controlled release.
There are an increasing number of diseases prevailing across the globe, which needs proper medication facilities to improve patients’ health. In addition, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is contributing to the increased demand for better medications, therapies, and vaccines. The outbreak of the global pandemic has also accelerated the number of clinical trials going on across the globe.
The development process of these hydrogel-based drug delivery systems with constant surface area is very complex, which is estimated to hamper the growth of the market. In addition, it becomes difficult for the companies to manufacture these systems for further usage due to their complex design. It would further restrict the adoption of these systems by various companies.
Based on Polymer Origin, the market is segmented into Synthetic, Natural and Hybrid. Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems are manufactured by using synthetic polymer and are becoming more popular with wide acceptance than naturally derived polymer due to the greater drug absorbing capability, improved lifetime, enhanced mechanical properties, and controllable degradation features. Poly starch, vinylpyrrolidone, and acrylic acid are broadly utilized synthetic polymers in drug delivery applications.
Based on Delivery Route, the market is segmented into Ocular, Subcutaneous, Oral Cavity, Topical and Other Delivery Routes. The ocular segment garnered the maximum revenue share in the hydrogel-based drug delivery system marker in 2020. Hydrogels are generally utilized in ocular drug delivery applications as the hard and contact lenses are manufactured with the help of hydrogel films. Thus, it becomes easy to include therapeutic drugs into contact lenses.
