A class of polymer known as a "hydrogel" can retain vast volumes of water or other biological fluids because to its three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers. Hydrogel is a type of polymer material made from a network of cross-linked polymer chains that contain a significant amount of water. In its natural state, it is a soft, jelly-like material that can be molded into various shapes and sizes. It has a wide variety of uses, from medical applications to food production to water filtration, and even for recreational use such as water slides. The increasing demand for hydrogel is driven by its unique properties and multiple uses in various industries. The growth of the hydrogel market can be attributed to the increase in healthcare expenditure and rise in demand for personal hygiene products. Consumers are gradually opting for contact lenses and improved quality of healthcare services, which, in turn, has contributed to the rise in demand for hydrogel products. The hydrogel market was projected to reach USD 15.33 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.04% from 2017 to 2022.

It can also be used in 3D printing to create artificial organs and tissues. In food production, a hydrogel is used to improve the texture and mouthfeel of food products, as well as to keep food products moist. In water filtration, hydrogel is used to absorb and filter out pollutants, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Finally, in recreational activities, hydrogel is used to create water slides and other water-based activities.
