Brazil Dental Equipment Market Analysis
The Brazil dental equipment market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period.
With the pandemic outbreak, there was a decrease in hospital visits associated with dental treatments. The fear of getting infected with the virus and the postponement of dental surgery procedures and online consultations were significant factors contributing to decreased dental treatment visits. This subsequently led to a decrease in dental equipment demand, which slowed the market growth during the pandemic. For instance, according to the NCBI research article published in June 2021, in terms of the decline in dental procedures performed in the Brazilian Public Dental Service, the COVID-19 pandemic's effects were notable, where the lack of access, postponement of elective treatments, and absence of collective preventive measures led to an overburdened system. However, the impact was short-term. During the later phase of the pandemic, with the ease of restrictions and lockdowns, dental visits increased in Brazil. Thus, despite slow growth during the initial phase of the pandemic, the market started to gain momentum from the later phase of the pandemic and is expected to continue the upward trend over the forecast period.
The factors such as rising government initiatives, a high number of dentists and growing cosmetic dentistry, and technological advancements in dentistry in Brazil are driving the market growth. For instance, the research article published in April 2021 by Brazilian Oral Research (BOR) reported that 90.0% of the target population had lost at least one tooth, and 3,9.0% had lost more than eight teeth in an isolated population of Brazil. This higher tooth loss was associated with adult age and female gender. Thus, researchers at BOR suggested that age and gender were the significant risk indicators of tooth loss in the Brazilian population. Such tooth loss prevalence among the Brazilan population is anticipated to drive the demand for dental equipment as it is used for treating and diagnosing dental problems. Hence, considerable market growth is expected over the forecast period.
Moreover, product approval, new product innovation, and research & development in the segment are also expected to contribute to market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent for Ortek Therapeutics, Inc., a company developing and commercializing novel oral care technologies which covered the Ortek-ECD, a revolutionary electronic cavity detection device that can detect tooth decay often missed by X-rays. Such developments are expected to create new opportunities for the market, which, in turn, will fuel the market growth over the forecast period.
However, the high cost of devices may hinder market growth over the forecast period.
Brazil Dental Equipment Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Brazil Dental Equipment Market according to our research experts:
Periodontics Segment is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Rate Over the Forecast Period
The dentistry specialty known as periodontics focuses on the inflammatory condition that wreaks havoc on the gums and other tooth-supporting tissues. Patients who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease can restore their function and appearance using removable dental prostheses, fixed dental prostheses, and dental implants. The increasing tooth loss among the Brazilian target population is anticipated to drive segment growth in the country. For instance, the NIH research article published in April 2021 mentioned that more than half (53.7%) of the elderly population (older than 65 years) had missing teeth in Brazil. The same source also highlighted that socioeconomic conditions were the major factors directly associated with tooth loss in the Brazilian population. Therefore, such instances indicate that the demand for periodontics is anticipated increase among the target population, thereby driving the segment growth.
Furthermore, chronic diseases with increased inflammation are frequently linked to an increased risk of periodontal disease, which is a major reason for tooth loss. In this context, a group of scientists from Brazil and the United Kingdom conducted a study that aimed to investigate the association between multimorbidity and the severity of tooth loss in Brazilian adults and older adults. This study was published in December 2021. As per the research results, severe tooth loss and functional dentition are more prevalent in older persons with multimorbidity and Brazilian adults. Thus, the demand for periodontics used for tooth loss is needed in the country.
Moreover, several studies reported the use of lasers in periodontal treatment in non-surgical or surgical therapy is being widely used. Thus, owing to such increasing use, many laser products are being approved in the country, which is expected to drive the periodontics segment growth. For instance, a press release by BIOLASE, Inc., a global dental lasers provider, in July 2022 reported that the company received five new United States patents and seven new foreign patents in the last 12 months. The BR112015008998-4 patent titled 'Handpiece Assembly for Laser Treatment Device' was issued in Brazil on February 8th, 2022. Such developments in the segment are predicted to drive segment growth.
Hence, all these mentioned factors are driving the segment growth, which is likely to drive the overall segment growth over the forecast period.
Dental Implants Segment is Expected to be the Largest Segment Over the Forecast Period
Dental implants signify artificial replacements for tooth roots, which can be surgically inserted in the jawbone. Dental implants have two major parts, fixture and abutment, which are usually manufactured with zirconium and titanium. A dental implant consists of a dental implant body and a dental implant abutment and may also include a screw to fix the abutment. The body of the dental implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone instead of the root of the tooth. A dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body with an abutment fixation screw and passes through the gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.
The increasing cases of dental diseases and the rising application of CAD/CAM Technologies in Brazil are the major drivers for the segment growth. For instance, according to the NCBI study published in 2021, there was a high prevalence of dental caries and tooth loss in the country, and all tooth loss problems were significantly high. Similarly, as per the research journal published in 2021, dental caries was one of the most frequent chronic conditions observed in children in the country. The study also stated that the majority of preschool children experience caries, and the prevalence rates range from 20.3%2 to 53.6%. Dental caries negatively impacts the quality of life of both the child and the family and are considered a major public health problem. Dental implants are generally the preferred treatment option for dental caries and tooth loss. Therefore, increasing cases of dental diseases are anticipated to propel the segment growth over the forecast period.
