Dental Adhesives and Sealants Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The Global Dental Adhesives and Sealants Market is projected to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The market has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to nationwide lockdowns and strict social distancing measures, the dental economy, along with several other healthcare sectors, came to a halt in March and April 2020. During this time, the dental community's early proactive response to help flatten the curve and preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) had a significant impact on the dental economy thus affecting the demand for dental adhesives and sealants. However, with 90 percent of dental practices reopened, dentistry has the fastest growth. Thus, the market has recovered in the second half of 2020.

• Over the medium term, the major factors driving the market are increasing health expenditures and emphasis on improving dental procedure outcomes in developing countries, increase in the aging population around the world.
• However, on the flip side, the high cost of treatment and COVID-19 impact are expected to hinder the growth of the market studied.
• North America accounted for the largest market, accounting for more than 40% of the global market share, followed by Asia-Pacific.

Key Market Trends

Self-etch Adhesive to Dominate the Market

• The demand for dental adhesive technology has evolved in recent times toward complex formulations with simplified clinical procedures.
• The growing demand for reduced technique sensitivity, less time-consuming clinical application, and fewer incidences of post-operative sensitivity have made self-etch adhesive systems a promising approach when compared to the other etch adhesive systems.
• The basic composition of self-etch adhesive is an aqueous solution of acidic functional monomers, with pH relatively higher than that of phosphoric acid etchants. It also contains (Hydroxyethyl)methacrylate (HEMA) monomer because most of the acidic monomers are low water-soluble and they also increase the wettability of the dentin surface.
• Self-etch adhesive systems are also considered simplified adhesives materials. It offers some advantages over conventional etch and rinse systems such as reduction of postopeructive sensibility and less sensitive technique.
• The current self-etch adhesive systems are classified based on the number of clinical application steps such as one-step or two-step adhesives.
• One-step self-etch adhesive system are all-in-one adhesives, which combine the etching, priming, bonding, thus containing acidic functional monomers, hydrophobic monomers, water and organic solvent in a single solution.
• Two-step self-etch adhesive system include the use of hydrophilic etching primer, which combines acidic monomers that simultaneously etch and prime tooth substrate and after solvent evaporation, a layer of hydrophobic and bonding agent seal the dentin.
• The number of aging people is already rising rapidly, but the oldest old are growing even faster. The aging populations are aging fast. By 2050, UN estimates put the number of oldest old people at 434 million which is triple the amount 125 million of oldest old people in 2015.
• Owing to all the aforementioned factors, the market is expected to grow in the coming years, post COVID-19 recovery.
