Global Dental Composite Resins Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Dental Composite Resins Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Dental composite resins are a class of dental restorative materials that are a mixture of organic and inorganic components. Composite resins are increasingly used nowadays for restoring dental cavities because of their ability to imitate the color and transparency of surrounding teeth. Composite resin fillings are just as strong as amalgam fillings, but they look natural.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Dental Composite Resins market finds that the global Dental Composite Resins market reached a value of USD 1232.28 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1726.79 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.78% during the forecast period.

Modification of existing composite resin materials

The existing composite resin materials are optimized in terms of the composition, structure and content of the resin itself to overcome the current deficiencies. Promote the continuous advent of repair materials with high mechanical properties, low thermal expansion coefficient, low polymerization shrinkage and excellent aesthetic effects. The innovation of new products has brought more development opportunities to the dental composite resins market.

Potential hazards of nanocomposite resin

Nano-particle-filled composite resin shows excellent aesthetic performance, and is easy to polish and has good wear resistance. However, nanocomposite resins can still cause secondary caries. Another important issue is the unpredictable risk of the combination of nanoparticles and resin. Although the nanoparticles exist in the resin, the strong combination of each other is harmless to the human body. However, when this type of composite resin is used for several years, after abrasion, whether the shedding of nanoparticles will cause potential harm to the human body. This potential harm hinders the development of the dental composite resins market to a certain extent.

The nature and content of inorganic fillers

Inorganic fillers are a key factor affecting the performance of materials. The type of fillers, particle size, content, and bonding strength with the resin will all have a great impact on the final performance of dental composite resins. The smaller the filler particles, the better the polishing performance and aesthetics of the composite resin, and the higher the wear resistance. On the contrary, the larger the filler particles, the more difficult it is to grind and polish, the rougher the surface, and the worse the aesthetic effect. Dental composite resins have high content of inorganic fillers, good mechanical properties and improved wear resistance. In addition, the degree of coupling between the matrix and filler, as well as the photo-initiated system and light-curing conditions also affect the performance of dental composite resins to a certain extent. Therefore, this factor will also become one of the risks in the dental composite resins market.

Region Overview:

North America dominated the Dental Composite Resins market in 2022, with a market share of 37.72%.

Company Overview:

Mitsui Chemicals is one of the major players operating in the Dental Composite Resins market, holding a share of 13.82% in 2023.

Mitsui Chemicals

Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. manufactures and markets a variety of chemical products. The Company's products include ethylene, propylene and other petrochemicals, basic chemicals, synthetic resins, and fine chemicals. The Company operates worldwide.

Envista Holdings

Envista Holdings Corporation is an independent, public company that launched in the second half of 2019, and is one of the largest global dental products companies, with a differentiated portfolio including dental implants, orthodontics, and digital imaging technologies.

Segmentation Overview:

As for product types, the Hybrid Filler segment held the largest market share in 2022.

Macrofilled Filler

Macrofilled fillers have large-sized filler particles. The large fillers produced great strength for the restoration, but they finished and polished poorly. Improvements in the material composition have replaced macrofills.

Microfilled Filler

The microfilled dental composite resins offered adequate polish ability and color stability, however, reduction in filler loading reduced the wear resistance in load bearing restorations and in addition elastic modulus and fracture strength were also lower in contrast to macrofilled dental composite resins.

Hybrid Filler

Hybrid fillers were developed to retain the advantages of both traditional macrofilled and microfilled fillers by combining the fillers of different particle sizes and particle size distributions. These materials showed a better wear resistance compared with traditional macrofilled fillers but surface properties remained inferior because of the intrinsic wear pattern in a filler that contains larger filler particles.

Nanofilled Filler

Nano technology can be defined as the construction of materials and structures of size 100 nm or less with novel characteristics through manipulating, measuring and modelling of matter on a molecular scale. The manufacturing of nanoparticles for microfilled and nanofilled fillers involves a bottom-up synthetic chemical sol-gel process in contrast to the traditional milling technique employed formacrofilled fillers.

Bulk Filler

Bulk-fill resin composites are light-cured resin composites that can be placed in increments or layers of 4 to 5 mm in depth. These materials have been available to the dental profession for several years now. Their adoption has been slow, but they are gaining popularity, and sales are increasing.
