Market perspective
Hydrogel is gel-like or colloidal substances made of water and solids. Hydrogels are highly absorbent (they can contain over 90% water) natural or synthetic polymeric networks. It is widely used in medical fields, industrial fields, consumer goods etc.
Acelity, ConvaTec, Smith＆Nephew United, DSM and Covidien are the key producers in the global hydrogel market. Top five companies took up about 39% of the global production. Acelity is the leading producer over the world with the total local share of about 10%.
USA is the largest sales of hydrogel in the world. The USA market took up about 46% the global market, closely by Europe 27%) and China is followed with the share about 11%. After decades of development, the European and American markets are already more mature. In the past few years, many companies and research institutes in China are studying the product. However, the Chinese market manufacturers are still very little. China's market concentration is relatively high. Acelity and ConvaTec are leaders in the US market. Smith & Nephew United and DSM are leaders in the European market. NIPRO PATCH is a leader in the Japanese market. Jiyuan and Guojia are leaders in the Chinese market.
