Market Trends of Dental Implants Industry
Titanium Implants Segment is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
Titanium dental implants are known to be compatible with body tissues during healing. The titanium surface of the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through the osseointegration process while healing, which can take 3 to 6 months.
The increasing product launches and efficiency of titanium are expected to drive segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the NCBI research study published in May 2022, titanium is a bioinert material, inducing little or no deleterious effect on the surrounding tissue has made it the preferred choice for dental implants. Moreover, rising research studies proving the efficacies of titanium-based dental implants will also boost the segment. For instance, as per the October 2021 research study and as per our analysis, nano-coating of NanoZnO-modified titanium implants helps to reduce the adhesion of bacteria, thus improving the efficacy of orthopaedic implants. Thus, such advantages of titanium implants may increase the demand for titanium implants owing to which considerable segment growth is expected.
Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors the dental implants market is anticipated to witness significant segment growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall dental implants market, over the forecast period. The growth is due to factors such as the increasing prevalence of dental diseases, wide acceptance of technological advancements in dental implants, and an increasing number of dental visits are propelling the growth of the dental implant market. For instance, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association in April 2022, untreated caries was found to be prevalent in 21.3% of the United States. The prevalence of coronal and root caries was 17.9% and 10.1%, respectively. Caries were most common in people aged 30 to 39 (25.2%) and 40 to 49 (22.3%), men (23.5%), and people of other races (36.5%). Such a high number of dental diseases may increase the demand for dental implants, thereby propelling the market growth in the North American region over the forecast period.
Key product launches, high concentration of dental implant brands or manufacturer's presence, and acquisition & partnerships among major players, and increasing cases of dental diseases in the United States are some of the factors driving the growth of the dental implants market in the country. For instance, in December 2022, ProSmile launched its new national brand, SmartArches Dental Implants. SmartArches offers a full array of affordable and reliable dental implant services, including implants and full mouth reconstruction.SmartArches currently serves patients at four locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with plans to expand to eight states in 2023. Similarly, in January 2021, Zahn Dental, the United States dental laboratory business of Henry Schein, Inc., announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Terrats Medical, S.L. Spain-based manufacturer of the DESS Dental Smart Solutions (DESS) system. Thus, such strategic initiatives by the dental implant manufacturers in the country may positively impact the market growth in the country.
Therefore, owing to the aforesaid factors the growth of the studied market is anticipated in the North America Region.
