Major factors contributing to the dental implants market growth include increasing incidence of tooth loss, high demand for aesthetic dentistry, rise in per capita healthcare spending, and the launch of technologically advanced products in the market. Dental implant placement is one of the preferred types of treatment for missing teeth. Prevalence of edentulism is high among the elderly age group. Hence, demographic changes in the form of a rapidly aging population are likely to drive the growth of the market.

According to the BMJ Journals, in 2021, globally, the prevalence of edentulism is around 12% among adults in low and middle-income countries. Thus, the demand for these products is projected to grow due to increasing prevalence of edentulism, which is projected to boost the market growth. Additionally, there are significant innovations in terms of material quality tooth implants among patients. Moreover, the rise in prevalence of other oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth decay, is likely to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Advantages Provided by Implants over Other Methods to Increase the Adoption Rate during the Forecast Period

Dental implants can be considered the prodigy in tooth replacement technology, with the help of a unique system that anchors a natural-looking tooth in the open space forming the missing tooth. Moreover, multiple implants can be used to replace more than one tooth, making it a versatile teeth replacement solution. Hence, significant benefits associated with these implants over other tooth-replacement methods, is one of the prominent growth drivers of the global market across the forecast timeframe.

These implants are designed to look like natural teeth. Titanium implant has great biocompatibility with the bone to fuse with living bone and forms a solid attachment with the bone in the jaw over the course of several months. These implants are made from high-quality titanium or zirconium material that can last for a lifetime, while bridgework and removable dentures may need to be replaced over time. Dental implant fuses with the jawbone, supporting the bone to continue to stay healthy and rebuild itself, which won’t happen with any other teeth replacement method.

Additionally, an increasing number of research surveys and awareness campaigns initiated to understand and strategize options for better accessibility of these implants in the developing economies is another significant factor boosting the product demand.

• For instance, in September 2020, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) celebrated ‘Dental Implant Awareness Month’, which was for increasing awareness about these implants to be used as replacements for missing teeth. AAID launched a campaign with articles and videos showing reasons why implants are the perfect option for teeth replacement.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost of Implants Procedures to Restrict Market Growth

Dental implant procedures are expensive and dependent on multiple factors such as type of dental implant, nature of implant material, design of the implant, and the number of teeth to be replaced with the implant.

Among them, the tapered implants segment held the leading share of the market. Tapered wall implants are ideal for immediate placement, well designed for narrow gaps with root proximity of adjacent teeth. These benefits make them a popular choice of treatment after immediate extraction of the teeth. These implants offer better stability in softer bones. The tapered-screw implant design provides adequate stability as it creates pressure on cortical bone in areas of reduced bone quality. Thus, the adoption of tapered implants is increasing in the market during the forecast period.

Parallel walled implants achieve greater stability, and thus are likely to continue to grow during the forecast period. As per various clinical researches, it is proven that parallel implants are not considered as the safest quality of implants for poor-quality jaw bone surgeries. Hence, the segment experienced limited market share as well as sluggish growth over the forecast period.
