Dental Implants Market Size (2023 to 2028)

As per our recent analysis, the global dental implants market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2023 to 2028. As a result, the market size is estimated to be worth USD 9.56 billion by 2028 and USD 5.88 billion in 2023.

A dental implant is a metal post of titanium positioned into the jawbone surgically beneath the gums. After being placed into the jawbone, these implants allow the replacement teeth to be mounted over them by dentists. Dental implants act as artificial roots in the jaw to secure replacement teeth or a bridge. Dental implants are an alternative for those who have lost tooth/teeth because of periodontal diseases or injuries.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing patient count suffering from dental disorders is propelling the dental implants market growth.

The number of people suffering from periodontal diseases, tooth decay, and oral cancer has grown significantly over the last few years. Often these conditions can result in tooth loss. Dental implants are one of the effective solutions for tooth replacement. WHO says 3.5 billion people worldwide are suffering from oral diseases and periodontal diseases are affecting a population of 1 billion worldwide. As per the data published by the Oral Cancer Foundation, an estimated 54,000 Americans had oral cancer in 2022. In addition, the population with missing tooth issues is expected to grow in the coming years owing to the growing aging population and poor oral hygiene. Dental implants are used as a solution to tooth loss and possess a high success rate. Due to this, dental implants have become the widely adopted solution for tooth loss issues.

The growing disposable income worldwide is further fuelling the growth rate of the dental implants market. Owing to the growing disposable income, the demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures, including dental implants, is increasing considerably. The growing disposable income is increasing the ability of people to invest in the treatment procedures of dental implants for their tooth replacement issues. The growing middle-class population in emerging economies is resulting in favor of the dental implants market growth. With the growing income, people are showing an increased willingness to invest in their health and appearance, including oral care.

The rising awareness among people regarding dental health is contributing to the growth of the dental implants market.

In the last few years, people’s awareness of oral care has increased tremendously. Many people have become aware of various dental procedures and treatments including dental implants. People have been taking several measures to prevent dental diseases such as cavities, gum diseases, and tooth loss. Dental implants have become one of the attractive solutions among people that are suffering from missing tooth issues. Due to the growing usage of internet and social media, people are able to find information around dental health and dental procedures. This has resulted in the growing awareness of dental implants and their benefits and success rates and resulted in market growth.

In addition, the growing aging population worldwide, rapid adoption of technological developments in the design and development of dental implants and increasing number of advancements in digital dentistry are propelling the dental implants market growth. Factors such as increasing dental tourism, increasing number of dental clinics and dentists in emerging economies and the emergence of mini dental implants are further contributing to the growth of the dental implants market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the dental implant market faced pitfalls. Limited reimbursement policies for dental treatment plans and most insurance providers are not covering dental treatments as a part of their Mediclaim policy, which are majorly projected to hinder the market growth. Dental treatment is usually excluded from the policy cover. Dental implants are considered a more reliable choice than veneers or crowns. However, the expense of treatment with dental implants is considerably high due to the high-priced implants and surgery. Most insurance providers in developed and developing companies classify dental implants as cosmetic surgery, therefore providing minimal or no dental implants. The high pervasiveness of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis caused due to dental implants is further expected to restrain the market's growth.

Asia is price-sensitive and displays inhibitions to investing in dental implants, often only affordable to the elite population, offering a comparatively smaller market.

COVID-19 impact on the global dental implants market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has also hit the global dental implants market, mostly because of lockdowns all around. In addition, as a standard measure, social distancing has become the new norm. Therefore, people are now refraining from visiting a doctor, owing to which treatment procedures lack the thrust, thus adversely impacting the dental implants market.

COVID-19 has a devastating impact on every other industry, like the dental market. The dental industry is facing its dark hours with the widespread Coronavirus. Dental surgeons, including paramedics, nurses, and other healthcare workers, are at the highest risk of contracting and transmitting the Coronavirus. As a result, dental clinics around the world have been shut down. In addition, it significantly impacted the dental implant market and dental practitioners and staff at clinics, making zero earnings.

More than 5 million implants are placed annually by dentists in the United States. Tooth implants are available in several countries around the world. The procedure is the most expensive in the USA, costing an average of 6000 USD. On the other hand, it is much cheaper in countries like Mexico, Thailand, Costa Rica, Poland, Hungary, and Turkey, where it costs lesser than 800 USD. Increasing dental tourism across Europe will significantly stimulate European countries' dental implant market growth. 

The Europe dental implants market is also thought of as the quickest-growing marketplace for dental implant players, attributable to the large population affected by oral diseases. Moreover, increasing incidences of dental issues related to the aging population and rising government expenditure on oral health care drive market growth within the European region.
