Hydrogels such as rapid self-healing gels are a network of cross-linked polymeric chains. These crosslinks can be either physical or chemical in nature. Few of the methods used for designing physically cross-linked rapid self-healing gel include hydrogen bond formation, crystallization, protein interaction, and ionic interactions. Various types of polymerization techniques such as addition & condensation, radical and gamma beam are employed in designing a chemically cross-linked rapid self-healing gel. The network like structure of hydrogels enables it to absorb a lot of moisture by the virtue of hydrogen bonding. This further contributes to enhanced elasticity of hydrogels. Self-healing gels exhibit a phenomenon of formation of new physical or chemical bonds to replace previously broken bonds. Moreover, these self-healing gels resemble flesh and have generated great interest in biomedical researchers over the past few years. Self-healing gels find their application in the field of drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing.

Market Dynamics

Market players are focusing on product launches and approvals, which is expected to strengthen their position in the global rapid self-healing gel market. For instance, in 2019, Gelesis, a biotechnology company was the first to receive the U.S. FDA approval for use of their product Plenity to manage obesity. Plenity is a combination of cellulose and citric acid present as a hydrogel matrix with high moisture absorbing capacity. Plenity capsules can be used by people with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25kg/m2 to control their weight. These capsules when ingested before meals absorb large amount of water inside the stomach resulting in a feeling of fullness. Since, Plenity capsules are self-healing they can maintain their 3D network structure regardless of physical changes in their environment. Once these capsules reach the colon they are broken down for digestion while releasing large amount of water, which is then reabsorbed by the body. Plenity capsules is an innovative and effective non-surgical method of managing weight in obese adults. Hence, approval of such rapid self-healing gels is expected to drive the market of rapid self-healing gels globally.

Market players are involved in expanding their presence globally, by entering into acquisition with other companies in order to enhance distribution, this is expected to drive the growth of the global rapid self-healing gel market. For instance, in 2019, Cardinal Health, a U.S. healthcare company, acquired Mirixa Corporation, an American healthcare services provider. This acquisition would enable Cardinal Health to provide enhanced user experience to the customers by standardizing delivery and billing for their products.
