Polymer Gel Market Assessment, By Product Type [Polyethylene Glycol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Poly (Hydroxyethyl Methyl Acrylate), Polyurethanes, Poly (Amino Acids), Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Others], By Application [Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredients, Adhesives and Sealants, Drug Delivery System, Electronic Components, Others], By End-use Industry [Cosmetics and Personal Care, Pharmaceutical, Electrical and Electronics, Building and Construction, Furniture, Others], By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2016-2030F
Market Report I 2024-04-19 I 249 Pages I Market Xcel - Markets and Data
Global polymer gel market size was 5042.17 kilotons in 2022, which is expected to grow to 8351.04 kilotons in 2030, with a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2030.
The prominent variables influencing the growth of the polymer gel market are the bolstering cosmetics and personal care industry, along with the rising adoption of polymer gels in the pharmaceutical industry for application in drug delivery systems. Furthermore, the ongoing product innovations by polymer gel manufacturers to increase the application of chemicals in a diverse range of end-use industries will create a favorable potential for the market in the forecast period.
The increasing demand for baby and adult diaper products, rising innovations in female hygiene products, and the surging adoption of male segment personal care products are the key trends driving the growth of the cosmetics and personal care sector. Likewise, the increasing investment in pharmaceutical development, the surging prevalence of chronic diseases, and rapid advancement in the pharmaceutical manufacturing processes are the prime elements fostering the growth of the pharmaceutical industry. However, the recent closures of the polymer gel manufacturing facilities by global conglomerate is hindering the market growth.
Thus, the booming cosmetics and personal care, and pharmaceutical industry are the vital aspects boosting the demand for polymer gel to ensure the benefit of the three-dimensional accommodative framework. For instance, according to the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA), the global cosmetics and personal care industry registered an annual growth rate of 5.4% in 2022.
The increase in research and development in the pharmaceutical industry will augment the polymer gel market growth. For instance, according to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), in 2022, the total investment in European Union pharmaceutical research and development was USD 46,860.7 million, an increase of 4.62%.
Booming Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry are Augmenting Traction for the Market Growth
Polymer gel products such as polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, and polymethyl methacrylate are utilized as gelling agents and thickeners in cosmetics ingredients to ensure superior compatibility. The cosmetics and personal care ingredients composed of polymer gel are deployed in products such as creams, lotions, men's hygiene products, and shampoo. The increasing sales of toiletries products, the development of a new range of cosmetics and personal care products, and the recently launched personal care products manufacturing facilities are the key aspects propelling the cosmetics and personal care industry's growth.
For instance, according to the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA), in 2022, the global toiletry products industry, including diapers, makeup remover, and female hygiene products, was valued at USD 2,527.4 million, representing an annual growth rate of 1.2% as opposed to 2021. Therefore, the prospering cosmetics and personal care are boosting the demand for polymer gel as the chemical is employed as a thickening agent in products such as lip care, conditioners, and male hygiene products, this key factor is augmenting the market growth.
Bolstering Pharmaceutical Industry is Spurring the Market Growth
Polymer gels are employed in the pharmaceutical industry so that in the drug delivery systems, there is surface adherence for a longer period and showcase controlled drug release at the absorption area. The growth of the pharmaceutical sector is attributed to factors such as increasing government spending on the healthcare industry and the recent advancements in drug delivery systems.
For instance, according to the recent statistics published by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), in 2021, the global pharmaceutical industry was valued at USD 1,256.8 billion, and in 2022, it was USD 1,287.7 billion, a year-on-year growth rate of 2.5%. Hence, the booming pharmaceutical industry is fueling the demand for polymer gels as the chemical poses excellent rheological properties. Thus, the revenue advancement of the pharmaceutical industry is amplifying the market growth.
Growth of Multiple End-use Industries in Asia-Pacific is Augmenting the Market Growth
Asia-Pacific's growth is driven by the revenue expansion of the end-use industries, including construction, Cosmetics and Personal Care, and pharmaceutical. Since, these end-use industries are the major end-users of the polymer gel, the expansion of various sectors in Asia-Pacific is supplementing the market growth.
For instance, according to Cosmetics Europe - The Personal Care Association, in 2022, China was the third largest market for Cosmetics and Personal Care industry valued at USD 74.8 billion. Henceforth, the rapid growth of various end-use industries in Asia-Pacific is spurring the demand for polymer gels, which in turn, is fostering market growth.
Future Outlook Scenario
The recent trend for the revenue expansion of personal care and hygiene products will create a lucrative growth outlook for the polymer gel market in the coming years. For instance, according to Invest India, the Indian personal care and hygiene industry will be valued at USD 17.34 billion in 2026.
In line with the revenue expansion of the pharmaceutical market in the upcoming years, the polymer gel industry will register growth as it is deployed in drug delivery systems. For instance, according to the recent data published by IQVIA Inc., the global medicines market will reach USD 1.9 trillion by 2027.
However, the recent phasing out of polymer gel manufacturing facilities will pose a roadblock to market growth in the coming years. For instance, in March 2022, Kuraray Co., Ltd., a Japan-based player in the polymers industry closed the manufacturing facility and sales of KURAGEL, a product range of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel.
Key Players Landscape and Outlook
The several leading players operating in the polymer gels market include BASF SE, Dow, Synthomer PLC, and Ashland. The above-listed players are adopting a product launch strategy to increase their revenue share in the overall market.
In February 2020, Northstar Polymers, a United States-based manufacturer of polymers developed polyurethane gel resins for OOO Durometer and Shore OO Durometer. The new formulations for polyurethane gel resin developed by Northstar Polymers have minimized surface tack levels. The primary focus of the development of polyurethane gel is to ensure low-tack surfaces.
