Polymer Gel Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Raw Material (Poly Vinyl Alcohol, Polyacrylic Acid, PAN, PAM, Silicone), By Application (Personal Care, Agriculture, Construction, Drug Delivery System, Waste Water Treatment, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Polymer gel are soft, swollen polymer networks which are composed of long macromolecular chains which are cross-linked in 3D interconnected molecular structure saturating through the total volume. The polymer network serves as matrix that holds the solvent and provides firmness to the gel. Polymer gels are highly employed in personal care, construction, agriculture, waste management, drug delivery, and other applications.

Increasing demand for polymer gels from various end-use sectors is anticipated to drive the market growth. Increasing adoption of superabsorbent polymer gels in personal care products like baby diapers, female hygiene products, incontinence pads, and others attributed to the superior absorption properties shall drive the market. Additionally, increasing demand from agricultural sector for polymer gels to save water used in the irrigation shall foster growth.

However, prices of raw materials used for synthesizing polymer gels like polyvinyl alcohol, poly acrylic acid are volatile. This is expected to act as limiting factor for market growth.
