Market Insight:
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots composed of materials such as titanium or zirconium that can be placed in the jaw. They not only allow for the cosmetic and functional replacement of missing teeth, but they also allow for the maintenance of jaw structure by preventing bone resorption or atrophy.
When opposed to typical fixed bridges or dentures, dental implants do not require the grinding down of healthy neighbouring teeth, do not cause discomfort when eating or speaking, and are long-lasting with a natural appearance. It is hardly surprise that many prefer dental implants over traditional treatment options like crowns, bridges, or dentures. The global dental implants market is expected to be worth US$4.76 billion in 2023, witnessing growth at a CAGR of 6.31%, during the forecasted period.
Segment Covered:
- By Material: In terms of the material, the report provides the bifurcation of the global dental implants market into three segments: Titanium Implants, Zirconium Implants and Other Implants. The titanium dental implants segment held the largest market share. Titanium is the most suitable material or metal for dental implants due to its biocompatibility, and its large scale adoption, as well as its long-lasting nature. Titanium implants are gaining popularity as they are less invasive, affordable, and retain the tooth like a natural palate, driving the market growth. The global titanium dental implants market is further segmented into two procedures: single-stage and two-stage procedure.
- By Product: On the basis of product, the report identifies four segments of the global dental implants market: Endosteal Implants, Subperiosteal Implants, Transosteal Implants and Others. Endosteal dental implants segment occupied maximum share in the market. Endosteal implants are the most common type of implants used in dentistry and are safe, reliable, and widely used, according to the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP). Additionally, endosteal implants, which come in screw, cylinder, and bladed types, are the root form of implants.
- By Design: According to the design, the report identifies two segments on the global market: Tapered Implants and Parallel Walled Implants. Tapered implants held the market's leading position by occupying highest share. Tapered wall implants are perfect for immediate placement and are well suited for small gaps where the neighboring teeth's roots are close by. These advantages make them a popular option for treatment following immediate tooth extraction. In softer bones, these implants provide better stability. Further, rising preference of tapered dental implants on account of high stability and biocompatibility properties, increasing applications of dental implants in various therapeutic areas such as tooth replacement procedures, tooth decay, among others are some of the major factors that helped in the expansion of the market.
Geographic Coverage:
According to this report, the global dental implants market is divided into four regions: Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and ROW. The countries covered in North America region are the US, Mexico, and Canada, while Europe includes Germany, The UK, France, Italy, Spain and Rest of the Europe. Moreover, China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific are included in the Asia Pacific region.
Europe accounted for the maximum share of the global market. Rising life expectancy is changing the shape of the European nations age pyramid, the most significant change will be a notable shift toward a much older demographic structure, a trend that is expected to continue. Aging population requiring oral care services, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry & dental aesthetics among patients and growing prevalence of dental ailments across the region are considered the main factors driving the demand for dental implants in the region. In addition, Asia Pacific is predicted to grow at a significantly high rate due to a large patient base and the expanding use of advanced implants in dentistry. Additionally, the expansion of medical tourism in Singapore, China, and India is probably going to favor the market growth in the region.
Top Impacting Factors:
Growth Drivers
- Growing Concern for Oral Healthcare
- Rising Preference of Cosmetic Dentistry
- Expansion of Dental Service Organizations
- Surging Focus on Edentulous Treatment
Challenges
- Shortage of Trained Dentists and Dental Hospitals
- High Cost of Dental Implant Treatment & Reimbursement Issues
Trends
- Increasing Spending on Dental Services
- Accelerating Penetration of Digital Dentistry
- Growing Application of CAD/CAM Technologies
- Advancements in Implant Technology in Developed Countries
Driver: Expansion of Dental Service Organizations
North America has the world’s largest dental service market. A dental service organization (DSO) contracts with dental practices to manage all non-clinical activities (administration, procurement, marketing, operations, human resources, etc.). DSOs make massive investments to adopt digital dental equipment and improve operational efficiency of dental practices. The resulting declines in dental service prices help to turn potential demand into actual demand. DSOs in the US were once concentrated in large cities but are now making forays into smaller cities and towns, boosting the number of dental implant and alignment treatments carried out as a result. As a result, DSOs have greatly improved access to dental care over the past decade. Hence, expansion of the DSOs has boosted the dental implants market growth.
- Challenge: Shortage of Trained Dentists and Dental Hospitals
Expansion of oral healthcare largely depends on the number of dentists. Implant surgery can be performed by any licensed dentist provided that the treatment follows the standard of care and is in the best interest of the patient. However, since implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, dental specialists who routinely perform surgery within the jawbone are the natural fit for implant surgery. The shortage of trained dentists in implant procedures has become a major concern in many countries around the world. This can mainly be attributed to the growing demand for dentists, which is higher than the supply of dentists. Moreover, China, an emerging dental market owing to rising per capita disposable income and ageing population, has a shortage of roughly 450,000-900,000 dentists, compared to global averages. This shortage of dentists gives rise to increasing imbalance between the health workforce and patients. Thus, the shortage of dentists trained in implant procedures and dental hospitals is hampering the market growth of dental implants, globally.
- Trend: Accelerating Penetration of Digital Dentistry
Digital dentistry means digitalization of the whole process of dental treatments, from data acquisition and analysis to design, production and treatments. Digital dentistry is advantageous for patients, dentists and equipment suppliers. Dental clinics see overall improvement in profitability as the use of digital dentistry enhances the accuracy of procedures and enables dentists to treat more patients over the same period. Patients benefit in terms of convenience (i.e., fewer visits to see the dentist) and highly accurate procedures. Moreover, digital implants are minimally invasive resulting in less pain and a shorter recovery period. Therefore, accelerating penetration of digital dentistry is anticipated to augment the growth of dental implants market, globally.
The COVID-19 Analysis:
Several dental events were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the majority of dental events held in 2020 were hosted in a virtual setting. Furthermore, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many dentists have preferred not to open their clinics, opting instead for phone consultations and prescribing antibiotics. Dentists, including endodontists, feel that providing physical therapy may be a risk till the pandemic is suppressed. The cancellation of dental events significantly affected the sales, innovation and advancements in dental implant market and hence, impacted the overall market growth.
The global dental implant market was significantly impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. However, as vaccines are distributed around the world, the market returned to pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year. This growth would undoubtedly be fueled not only by an aging population that increases the prevalence of edentulism, but also by improvements in assisting technologies like surgical guides and treatment planning software that enable increased accuracy and implant reliability.
