Dental Implant Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Implants Type (Titanium, Zirconium), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, MEA), And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global dental implant market size was valued at USD 3.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing applications of dental implants in various therapeutic areas along with increasing demand for prosthetics are some of the key factors expected to boost the market growth. Prosthetics play a major role in propelling the demand for these implants through oral rehabilitation, which helps in restoring oral function and facial form of a patient. Acceptance level for dental implants is increasing among patients and dental surgeons due to limitations of removable prosthetics, such as discomfort, lack of natural appearance, and need for maintenance. Prosthetics mounted on dental implants do not encroach soft tissues and enhance aesthetics, which is further expected to drive the market.

The World Health Organization (WHO) data suggests that nearly 10 million people are injured or disabled due to road accidents every year. In addition, according to the American Academy for Implant Dentistry, over 15 million people in the U.S. undergo bridge and crown replacements for missing teeth every year, thus facilitating the demand for dental implants.

With the alarmingly increasing number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, countries effectively shut down their manufacturing plants which have negatively impacted the medical device manufacturing companies. According to an article published by Mondaq, the healthcare industry is heavily reliant on China for the procurement of critical components, raw materials, and complex finished medical products. China is the fourth-largest supplier of medical technology to the U.S. However, the shutdown of manufacturing facilities in China is likely to have an immediate negative impact on the market.

With the shutting of factories in China, countries like U.S., Canada, and India that heavily reliant on China for exports are facing severe supply bottlenecks, which will ultimately reduce the market's scope of revenue generation. According to the North American Dental Group survey, nearly 71% of the participants were unwilling to visit their dentist for nonemergency care due to the COVID 19 concerns. Many countries have declared a halt to elective procedures like dental treatments.

COVID19 impact: A 22% decline in demand was observed

According to an article published by CBC News, the cost of reopening dental clinics amidst the COVID 19 outbreak is very high, as the practices would have to adhere to stricter guidelines and protocols, which may, in turn, lead to a fee increase. Dental equipment giant Straumann Group stated that it would see sales losses of over USD 30 million in the first quarter of 2020 in the Asia Pacific region. However, with a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases and the hopeful introduction of effective vaccines in the market, hospitals are likely to begin scheduling elective procedures, depending on their capacity of admission and patient's comfort level.

Implants Type Insights

The titanium segment dominated the dental implant market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 92.3% in 2020 owing to the wide use of dental implants made up of titanium. The biocompatible nature of the pure form of titanium is the main benefit of its use. The crude form of titanium consists of other metals such as ilmenite, iron, vanadium, zirconium, silicon, and magnesium. The chemical synthesis procedure entails the conversion of crude titanium intermediates through a sequence of extraction and purification reactions into pure titanium ingot. Titanium dioxide is very toxic for the human body and needs to be removed from the titanium implant.

The zirconium segment is anticipated to grow fast over the forecast period. The material called zirconium functions with nearly the same features as that of titanium. Titanium implants can be made as a one-piece or two-piece systems, whereas, zirconium implants are made as one-piece systems. Two-piece implants offer better features, such as they can be used to support overdentures. Implants are manufactured in different sizes (length and width), which enables the choice of implants as per patients’ bone size.

Regional Insights

In 2020, North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 38.2%. The prominent drivers of the regional market are the increased geriatric population with a high incidence of dental conditions and high awareness among the population pertaining to oral preventive and restorative treatments in this region. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, 3 million people already have dental implants, and this number is usually higher in developed countries than developing due to the wide availability of resources, higher per capita income of the population, more concern about aesthetics, and higher awareness.

In Asia Pacific, the market is anticipated to grow fast over the forecast period owing to increasing economic stability and disposable income. Asian countries have a dense population, with a growing burden of geriatric population. These countries are also popular for their low-cost treatment, which makes them a preferred market for medical tourism. The growing adoption of cosmetic dental implants is one of the significant factors driving the market. Furthermore, the introduction of novel technologies, such as CAD/CAM-based dental restorations, and high awareness about dental procedures are expected to impel growth over the forecast period.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The key companies are focusing on strategic initiatives such as the introduction of novel products through customization according to consumers’ needs, partnerships, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions to expand their product portfolio and extend leadership positions in the field of dental implantology. Moreover, the competition between key players will turn intense in the coming years as they are focusing more on geographical expansion, strategic collaborations, and partnerships through mergers and acquisitions. In May 2020, Straumann Group announced a new zygomatic implant solution for patients with severe jawbone loss in collaboration with Southern Implants. The new solution combines proven implant design features with the advantages of Straumann’s BLX and BLT implant prosthetic range. Some of the prominent players in the dental implant market include:
