What Are The Major Factors Driving The Hydrogel Based Drug Delivery System Global Market Growth?

The increasing number of burn incidents is anticipated to boost the advancement of the hydrogel-based drug delivery system market. Burn incidents refer to medical cases where patients experience damage to the skin or deeper tissues due to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. The occurrence of burn incidents is escalating due to an increase in household accidents linked to mishandling of hot liquids or cooking gadgets, leading to skin injuries. This underscores the importance of improved safety awareness in daily routines. Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems aid burn recovery by upholding a moist, protective ambiance that promotes quicker healing and reduces pain. It also delivers medications in a controlled, sustained method, enhancing tissue repair and preventing infection. For example, according to the International Burn Injury Database (iBID), a US-based entity, burn and scald cases among children surged by 45% in the first half of 2023 compared with the same duration in 2022. Simultaneously, incidents involving hot water bottles in adults and the elderly increased by 19%. As such, the climbing prevalence of burn incidents is fueling the progression of the hydrogel-based drug delivery system market.

What Are The Future Trends Of The Hydrogel Based Drug Delivery System Market?
Prominent firms in the hydrogel-based drug delivery market are concentrating on producing advanced offerings such as injectable hydrogels which heighten targeted delivery and facilitate prolonged, managed drug release. Injectable hydrogels, soft substances comprised mainly from water, are dispensed into the body using minimally invasive methods, directly administering drugs to the desired location, which amplifies their efficacy and diminishes potential side effects. To illustrate, in October 2024, UPM Biomedicals Oy, a biotech corporation based in Finland, unveiled Fibgel, the first nanocellulose hydrogel injectable in the world, exclusively designed for implantable medical devices that are permanent. This ground breaking hydrogel originates from renewable Finnish birch wood cellulose and water, presenting a safe, sustainable, and non-animal substitute to conventional synthetic and animal-sourced hydrogels. Fibgel has adjustable mechanical qualities and superior biocompatibility, ensuring managed and extended drug release right at the needed location. Its capacity to thin when under stress facilitates easy administration via minimally invasive techniques, enhancing patient comfort and speeding up recovery time.
