Global Dental Implants Market Size Set to Touch USD 6.48 billion by 2029
Global dental implants market is flourishing because of a concentrated efforts on the management of growing prevalence of dental diseases and tooth loss; and the rapid adoption of technology advancements and digital technologies, such as computer-aided design and 3D printing, in dental implant materials and design.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated global dental implants market size at USD 4.17 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects global dental implants market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.5% reaching a value of USD 6.48 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the global dental implants market include an increasing use of implants in various therapeutic areas and the growing demand for prosthetics. Prosthetics have a significant impact on the demand for dental implants, as they aid in the oral rehabilitation process and restore a patient's oral function and facial form. The popularity of dental implants is increasing among both patients and dental surgeons due to the drawbacks of removable prosthetics, which include discomfort, unnatural appearance, and maintenance requirements. The demand for dental implants is being fueled by a growing incidence of dental injuries resulting from sports and road accidents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 10 million people worldwide are injured or disabled each year as a result of road accidents. Also, the American Academy for Implant Dentistry estimates that more than 15 million Americans receive bridge and crown replacements for missing teeth annually, which drives the demand for dental implants. However, limited availability of skilled dental professionals to perform and interpret procedures and concerns over the safety and efficacy of dental implant procedures are anticipated to restrain the growth of the global dental implants market during the forecast period.
Global Dental Implants Market – Overview
Dental implants are metal devices that are surgically implanted into the jawbone below the gums to provide support for artificial teeth. The process by which these implants fuse with the bone is called osseointegration, and they resemble screw-shaped prosthetic tooth roots. Once the dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, they fuse with the natural bone to create a sturdy foundation for one or more artificial teeth, called crowns. An abutment is attached to the dental implant to hold and support the crowns. Crowns can be customized to fit the shape and contour of natural teeth for a comfortable fit within the mouth. Dental implants are an effective solution to fill any gaps or spaces within the mouth caused by missing or damaged teeth.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Dental Implants Market
COVID-19 had a detrimental impact on the growth of global dental implants market. The market had initially been projected to grow steadily in the coming years, but the pandemic disrupted the growth trajectory. One of the major factors affecting the dental implants market was the widespread closure of dental clinics and hospitals in many countries. The closure of these facilities led to a reduction in the number of dental implant procedures being performed, which, in turn, affected the demand for dental implant products. Also, the fear of contracting COVID-19 deterred many patients from seeking dental care, including dental implant procedures. Likewise, supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic led to shortages of certain dental implant components and materials, resulting in increased prices and delayed delivery times.
The global dental implants market, on the other hand, is expected to recover from the impact of the pandemic in the coming years. The increasing demand for dental implants due to the rapidly aging population and rising dental treatment tourism are some of the factors expected to drive growth in the dental implants market in the post-pandemic period. Moreover, the development of advanced dental implant technologies and materials, such as 3D printing and titanium implants, is expected to further fuel the growth of the global dental implants market.
Global Dental Implants Market – By Material
Based on material, the global dental implants market is bifurcated into Titanium and Zirconium segments. The titanium segment has dominated the market owing to its prevalent usage in dental implants. The primary benefit of utilizing pure titanium is its biocompatibility. Crude titanium is composed of a blend of other metals, including iron, vanadium, zirconium, silicon, ilmenite, and magnesium, which undergo a process of extraction and purification to produce a pure titanium ingot. Titanium dioxide is highly detrimental to human health and must be eliminated from the titanium implant. Also, the zirconium segment is forecast to be the faster growing product segment during the period in analysis. Zirconium material performs nearly identically to titanium. While titanium implants can be created as one-piece or two-piece systems, zirconium implants are strictly one-piece systems. Two-piece implants offer additional features, such as supporting overdentures. Implants come in various sizes (length and width), which permits selecting the right size implants based on the patients' bone size.
