Brazil Dental Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The Brazil dental equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The ongoing pandemic impacted the studied market significantly. Suddenly after the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a decrease in hospital visits associated with dental treatments. The fear of getting infected with the virus and postponement of dental surgery procedures and online consultation were the major factors that contributed to decreased visits for dental treatments. This subsequently led to a decrease in demand for dental implants, which has majorly affected the overall market. The article “COVID-19 Pandemic impact on Brazil's Public Dental System” published in June 2021 mentioned that in terms of the decline in dental procedures performed in the Brazilian Public Dental Service, the COVID-19 pandemic's effects were notable, where the lack of access, postponement of elective treatments, and absence of collective preventive measures could lead to an overburdened system. However, the impact is expected to be short-term. During the later phase of the pandemic, dental visits increased owing to the increasing population with tooth loss, dental caries, cavities, and gum disease in Brazil. This is expected to create demand for the dental implants used for treatment, and thereby contribute to the market growth. Thus, the pandemic is expected to have a considerable impact on the studied market.

Furthermore, factors such as rising government initiatives, a high number of dentists and growing cosmetic dentistry, and technological advancements in dentistry in Brazil are predicted to fuel the dental equipment market in the country over the analysis period.

An article published in April 2021 by Brazilian Oral Research (BOR) reported that 90% of the target population had lost at least one tooth and 39% had lost more than eight teeth, in an isolated population of Brazil. This higher tooth loss was associated with adult age and female gender. Thus, researchers at BOR suggested that age and gender were the major risk indicators of tooth loss in the Brazilian population. Such prevalence of tooth loss among the population in Brazil is anticipated to drive the demand for dental equipment used for treatment and diagnosis. Hence, expected to boost the market growth over the study period.

Moreover, product approval, new product innovation, and research and development in the segment are expected to the segment growth in the country. For instance, in May 2022, Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent for Ortek Therapeutics, Inc., a company developing and commercializing novel oral care technologies which covered the Ortek-ECD, a revolutionary electronic cavity detection device that can detect tooth decay often missed by X-rays. Such developments are anticipated to drive market growth in the country.

Therefore, the aforesaid factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the market studied over the forecast period. However, the high cost of devices might hamper the market growth over the analysis period.

Brazil Dental Equipment Market TrendsPeriodontics Segment is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period

The dentistry specialty known as periodontics focuses majorly on the inflammatory condition that wreaks havoc on the gums and other tooth-supporting tissues. Patients who have lost teeth owing to periodontal disease can have their function and appearance restored using removable dental prostheses, fixed dental prostheses, and dental implants. The increasing tooth loss among the Brazilian target population is anticipated to drive the segment growth in the country.

The article “Impact of tooth loss due to the periodontal disease on the prognosis of rehabilitation published in April 2021 mentioned that more than half (53.7%) of the elderly population (older than 65 years of age) had missing teeth. And the research highlighted the fact that socioeconomic conditions were the major factors that are directly associated with tooth loss in the Brazilian population. Such research related to periodontics in the country is creating demand for the dental implants used by the target population, thereby driving the segment growth.

Further, chronic diseases with increased inflammation are frequently linked to an increased risk of periodontal disease which is a major reason for tooth loss. In this context, a group of scientists from Brazil and United Kingdom conducted a study that aimed to investigate the association between multimorbidity and severity of tooth loss in Brazilian adults and older adults, and this study was published in December 2021. As per the research results, serious tooth loss and functional dentition are more prevalent in older persons with multimorbidity and Brazilian adults. Thus, the demand for dental implants used for tooth loss is in demand among the target population of the country. Thereby, anticipated to drive the segment growth.

Moreover, several studies reported the use of lasers in periodontal treatment in non-surgical or surgical therapy is being widely used. Thus, laser product approvals in the segment in Brazil are expected to drive the periodontics segment growth. For instance, a press release by BIOLASE, Inc., a global dental lasers provider in July 2022 reported that the company received five new United States patents and seven new foreign patents in the last 12 months, and the BR112015008998-4 patent titled “Handpiece Assembly for Laser Treatment Device” was issued in Brazil on February 8th, 2022. Such developments in the segment are predicted to drive segment growth.

Hence, all these mentioned factors are driving the segment growth, which is likely to drive the overall market growth over the analysis period.
