Dental Crowns And Bridges Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material (Titanium, Zirconium), By Price (Premium, Value, Discounted), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2026

Report Overview

The global dental crowns and bridges market size was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to expand a CAGR of 7.78% by 2026. Factors such as rising prevalence of dental disorders, high demand for cosmetic dentistry, and growing dental medical tourism in the developing economies are anticipated to majorly influence the growth.

Dental crowns and bridges are the prosthetic devices used for dental restoration. They are fixed on the damaged tooth with dental cement that helps improve the strength and overall appearance of the tooth. Rising awareness regarding cosmetic dentistry is anticipated to bode well for the overall growth in the near future.

Titanium is widely used by dental surgeons, since it is compatible with the body tissues and easily bonds with an adjacent bone while treatment. Dental implants are primarily fabricated by six different titanium-based biomaterials. Each material includes grades of commercially pure titanium and two titanium alloys with different properties for treating the patient accordingly.

Zirconium is also a widely used material owing to its tooth-like color, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and low plaque affinity. The material is used as an alternative to titanium but has not gained enough popularity due to the high success rate of titanium. Hence, low awareness regarding zirconium is adversely affecting growth of the segment.

Rise in demand for preventive and cosmetic dentistry is expected to drive the market significantly during the forecast period. In addition, the introduction of novel technologies, such as CAD/CAM is anticipated to stimulate growth. This technology is expected to gain popularity in near future since it improves the creation and design of dental restorations.

Growth of developing economies, such as China and India in Asia Pacific and rise in disposable income of consumers is also propelling growth of dental crowns and bridges market. Nonetheless, changing demographics and rising demand for CAD/CAM due to growing popularity is anticipated to create growth opportunities for the market.

Material insights

Titanium segment is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period owing to high preference for the material by dental surgeons. It holds various attractive features, such as unmatched corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and great mechanical resistance. High success rate and favorable biological response with live tissues are spurring the demand for titanium.

The material is used in different ways in modern dentistry and is being accepted in various unexplored areas as well. Yet, the use of titanium in prostheses framework needs further technological improvements to overcome its drawbacks. These factors are anticipated to drive the market in the next seven years.

Zirconium was valued at USD 161.55 million in 2018 and is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period due to various features of the material. It is widely used in tooth restoration owing to its tooth-like color, especially in the anterior areas. Moreover, its ability to transmit light makes the material suitable for esthetics.

Zirconium is the fastest growing segment owing to other features of the material, such as no effect of magnetic fields, no cytotoxic effects on the cells, low porosity, high density, and high compressive strength. All these features are anticipated to drive the demand for the material in near future.

Price Insights

On the basis of price, the market is categorized into premium, value, and discounted implants. Premium implants segment was estimated at USD 826 million in 2018 and is expected to grow substantially in near future due to the strong presence of premium implant brands, such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Zimmer Biomet, and Dentsply Sirona.

The services of premium brands were expensive in the past. However, owing to the rapid emergence of value and discounted implants, these brands are engaging in delivering economic services to sustain market competition. Moreover, premium brands are rigorously focusing on mergers and acquisitions to expand their market exposure.

Value dental implants segment is anticipated to lead the market in the forecast period due to increasing acceptance and popularity in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific. They are increasingly focusing on tapping the unexplored areas of Asia Pacific, which is an opportunity for segment growth.

Value dental implants domain is expected to rise impressively in the next seven years owing to increasing preference by end-users over the premium implants brands. Value implants brands are offering less expensive alternatives and are gaining popularity at a speedy rate.

Premium implants brands are popular owing to the prevalence of professional periodontists and oral surgeons, who highly prefer expensive dental solutions. Though this segment is growing at a steady rate, it may face hindrance by the emergence of value and discount implants domains in the near future.

Value implants brands are speedily gaining acceptance in the developing economies. Especially in India, these brands have successfully captured a noteworthy share of the market and is expected to grow in the future as well. Hence, with the ongoing pace, value implants brands are expected to outpace premium brands.

Regional Insights

North America economies, such as Canada and U.S. are expected to hold a significant market share owing to the supportive reimbursement policies. Growing awareness among consumers regarding reimbursement policies is anticipated to further propel the segment growth during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is projected to hold a larger market share during the forecast period due to efforts by manufacturers to promote their products and expand their customer base. Low level of consumer awareness is anticipated to hamper the regional market growth. Nonetheless, ongoing efforts to spread dental education is an opportunity for the market players.

Growing medical tourism in emerging economies of Asia Pacific is one of the major trends witnessed in the industry. Asia Pacific has the fastest growing healthcare industry which is again an opportunity for the market players to strengthen their market presence. In addition, high prevalence of dental disorders is expected to stimulate regional growth.
