Market Trends of Global Endodontics Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Endodontics Market according to our research experts:
Laser Instruments is Expected to Hold a Significant Share Over the Forecast Period
The Laser instruments segment is expected to drive the market due to the technological advancement in endodontic lasers, rise in prevalence of periodontic diseases, and the rise in initiatives by the key market players for the launch of these devices. For instance, according to the World Health Organization update in March 2022, it is estimated that 14% of adults globally suffer from severe periodontal diseases, which amounts to more than one billion cases worldwide and tobacco smoking ,and poor dental hygiene are the main causes of periodontal disease. Such a high prevalence of periodontic diseases will lead to increased adoption of lasers for the treatment of periodontic diseases, driving market growth.
In periodontal laser therapy, the endodontist accesses the inflamed gum tissue from the area surrounding the root of the tooth and removes it using a laser. Then they clean away the tartar and plaque that have accumulated below and around the gum line. Dental lasers are devices that produce a narrow beam of light to remove or shape a tissue in a dental treatment procedure. Painless and short dental surgeries have been made possible with the help of dental lasers. They are highly effective, depending upon the dentist's ability to control the exposure time and laser power output.
Furthermore, rise in initiatives from the key market player for the development of lasers for endodontic procedures is also expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in April 2021, Biolase and EdgeEndo has planned to develop new EdgePRO laser-assisted microfluidic irrigation device for endodontists. This device helps in removing smear layer and biofilms using the most advanced laser light sound technology with traditional irrigation solutions. The development and launch of such devices will lead to increased adoption of technologically advanced lasers, driving this segment growth.
Therefore, owing to the above mentioned factors, this segment is expected to show a significant growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Major Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a major market share in the endodontics market due to the increasing incidence of periodontal diseases and an increase in disposable income in this region.
According to the study titled 'Clinical Outcomes of Endodontic Treatments and Restorations with and without Posts Up to 18 Years' in February 2021, in teeth with a periapical lesion at the baseline, a correct filling (at the apex) of root canals in conjunction with adequate coronal margins allows attaining a long-term high success rate. Such studies showing a high success rate of endodontic procedures in the United States will lead to increased adoption of endodontic procedures by people suffering from oral diseases, thereby leading to increased adoption of endodontic products, driving the market growth.
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research updated in August 2021, 2 in 5 persons in the United States have periodontal (gum) disease, and its prevalence continues to be a significant public health issue. Such a high prevalence of the periodontal disease will lead to increased adoption of endodontics, driving the market growth. Moreover, innovations and developments in endodontics, growing awareness on dental hygiene, and an increasing number of dental practitioners and the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure are also fueling the growth of the overall regional market to a large extent.
Furthemore, rise in initiatives by the key market players in the field of endodontics will also drive the market growth in this region. For instance, in July 2022, the new website for the office was launched by Reston Endodontics to give patients the most practical, relaxing, and patient-first endodontic experience possible. Such initiatives will lead to increased access to the website and exploring benefits of the endodontic products by the patients, driving the market growth in this region.
Therefore, owing to the above mentioned factors, the market for endodontics in North America is expected to show a significant growth.
