Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The zygomatic and pterygoid implants market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 outbreak was an unprecedented health concern and had significantly impacted the zygomatic implants and pterygoid implants market. In the first and second quarters of 2020, the flare of the COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on the zygomatic and pterygoid implants market as hospital and dental clinic operations were significantly reduced due to lockdown and social distancing measures undertaken by governments across the world. In March 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA), the nation’s largest dental association, recommended that dental practitioners postpone elective dental procedures until April 6, 2020, and provide emergency-only dental services to help keep patients from burdening hospital emergency departments. This recommendation was updated on April 1, 2020, when the ADA advised offices to remain closed to all but urgent and emergency procedures until April 30, at the earliest, owing to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Thus, this greatly affected dental services, thereby reducing the demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implants.

The major factors fueling the market growth are the growing geriatric population contributing to the increasing incidences of dental ailments and injuries and proven advantageous procedures with implants as compared to conventional substitutes. For instance, as per an October 2020 update by the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or above. As the aging population is prone to suffering from dental ailments such as maxillary resorption and increased bone loss, the demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implants is expected to grow with the growing geriatric population. Moreover, proven advantageous procedures with these implants are a major factor driving the demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implants. For instance, as per an April 2021 published article titled, "Tubero Pterygoid Implants- A Boom for Atrophied Maxillary Ridges: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis," it was concluded that tuber-pterygoid implants can be successfully used in patients with an atrophic posterior maxilla. Such studies indicating the advantages of using pterygoid implants reflect the growing adoption of such implants among the patient population.

However, the growing rate of complications linked to implant-associated infections is a major factor restraining the market's growth.

Key Market TrendsThe Severe Atrophy of Maxillary Bone Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share by Application in the Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants Market

By application, severe atrophy of the maxillary bone segment is expected to hold a major share of the market. Bone atrophy also referred to as osteonecrosis of the jaw occurs when the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate. The factors contributing to the segment's growth are the increasing incidences of severe atrophy of the maxillary bone, the growing geriatric population, and the implementation of strategic initiatives by the market players.

As per a January 2021 published article titled "Zygomatic implants placed in the atrophic maxilla: an overview of current systematic reviews and meta-analysis", zygomatic implants appear to offer a promising alternative to formal bone grafting techniques with lower costs, fewer complications, less morbidity, shorter treatment times, and comparably high survival rates, such studies reflect the growing demand for zygomatic implants for severe atrophy of the maxilla, thereby contributing to the segment's growth.

Hence, due to the above-mentioned factors, the segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.

Europe is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and is Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

Europe is expected to hold a major market share in the global zygomatic and pterygoid implants market due to the increasing geriatric population leading to a rise in incidence rates of dental ailments and injuries. For instance, per a 2022 update by Eurostat Statistics, the share of people aged 80 years or above in the European region’s population is projected to have a two-and-a-half-fold increase between 2021 and 2100, from 6.0% to 14.6%. Likewise, according to the European Federation of Periodontology, in Europe, periodontal diseases are the most common conditions. Eight out of ten individuals aged over 35 years of age suffer from gum diseases. In addition, periodontal diseases represent a major cause of expenditure in the adult and geriatric population.

The research studies suggesting the effective treatment with zygomatic and pterygoid implants are also propelling the growth of the market. For instance, an article titled "A Novel Guided Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implant Surgery System: A Human Cadaver Study on Accuracy" conducted in Europe and published in June 2021 concluded that zygomatic and pterygoid implants have been suggested as a solution to rehabilitate severely resorbed maxillary bone. It also suggested that further research on the accuracy of the entire procedure is mandatory to avoid critical surgical complications, which can involve accidents to the surrounding anatomy.

Thus, due to the above-mentioned developments, the market is expected to witness significant growth in Europe.
