Dental Implants Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Implant Type (Zirconium, Titanium), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, MEA), And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global dental implants market size was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8% from 2023 to 2030. Increasing applications of dental implants in various therapeutic areas along with rising demand for prosthetics are some of the key factors expected to boost the industry growth. Prosthetics play a major role in propelling the demand for these implants through oral rehabilitation, which helps in restoring the 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 on soft tissues and enhance aesthetics, which is further expected to drive the industry. The industry witnessed a minor setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the second and third quarters of 2020 due to supply chain bottlenecks and the closure of dental clinics. However, after the second quarter of 2020, dental procedures started to resume leading to a full market recovery by 2021. Companies like Straumann, which has a comprehensive portfolio of implants and implant solutions namely Neodent, Medentika, and Anthogyr, reported that their industry share increased from 27% to 29% from 2020 to 2021. This implies that the company expanded its customer base and geographical presence considerably post-pandemic.

An increasing number of dental injuries, owing to road accidents and sports injuries, are also some of the major factors favoring the demand for dental implants. 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. Dental implants are long-term replacements preserving adjacent teeth, which are ground in the case of bridges. It is considered the only restorative technique that preserves and stimulates natural bone and also acts as a stable support for prosthetics (dentures).

COVID-19 Impact: A 22% decline in demand was observed

Moreover, dental implants improve the physical appearance of a person and provide comfort and convenience, unlike removable dentures. The U.S. held a substantial share in 2021 due to the growing number of dental implant placement procedures undertaken per year. For instance, each year, nearly 5 million implants are placed in the U.S. as per the American Dental Association. Moreover, as a developed region, the U.S. population has a higher affordability rate for dental implant procedures. High healthcare spending in this region is expected to propel market growth. Two of the major companies, named Biomet and DENTSPLY Sirona are headquartered in the U.S., which contributes to greater penetration of this market.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research has found that tooth loss in American adults begins between the ages of 35 and 45, adults over the age of 45 years have lost a few teeth, and more than 24% of adults aged above 74 years are completely edentulous. Thus, indicating a high demand for dental implants. COVID-19 significantly affected the industry in the initial quarters of 2020. The majority of dental practices were out of work due to regional and state lockdowns and supply chain bottlenecks for essential dental equipment and implants. However, the demand for preventive and cosmetic dental treatments has witnessed a surge and key implant manufacturers like Dentsply, Straumann, Osstem, etc. reported that the sales of their dental consumables, as well as implants, grew significantly in 2021 and this trend is expected to grow further.

Implant Type Insights

On the basis of types, the global industry is segmented into titanium implants and zirconium implants. The titanium segment held the largest share of more than 91.55% of the overall revenue in 2022 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 to the human body and needs to be removed from the titanium implant. The zirconium segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing product segment over the forecast period. The material called zirconium functions with nearly the same features as titanium. Titanium implants can be made as 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 2022, North America dominated the global industry and accounted for the maximum share of more than 35.50% of the overall revenue. The prominent drivers of the region include the growing geriatric population with a high incidence of dental conditions and high awareness among the population regarding oral preventive & 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 in developing countries due to the wide availability of resources, higher per capita income of the population, more concern about aesthetics, and higher awareness.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period owing to increasing economic stability and disposable income. Asian countries have dense populations, 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

Companies are focusing on strategic initiatives, such as the introduction of novel products through customization according to consumers’ needs, partnerships, collaborations, and mergers & 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 & acquisitions. In May 2020, Straumann Group announced a new zygomatic implant solution for patients with severe jawbone loss in collaboration with Southern Implants.
