Dental Implants Market Size

Market Overview

The Dental Implants Market size is estimated at USD 4.94 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 7.19 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.80% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decrease in hospital visits associated with dental treatments. The fear of getting infected with the virus, the postponement of dental surgery procedures, and the increasing rate of online consultation were the major factors contributing to decreased dental clinic visits. This subsequently lead to a decrease in demand for dental implants, which adversely impacted the overall market. For instance, as per the study published in January 2022, it was observed that the emergency dental visits for dental, oral, and maxillofacial surgery at Mainz University Hospital during the partial lockdown period decreased by 39%. However, with the ease of restrictions and upliftment of lockdowns, the market has already started to gain traction and is anticipated to continue the upward trend over the forecast period.

The rising geriatric population and burden of dental diseases, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and increasing application of CAD/CAM technologies are the major drivers for the market. For instance, as per the March 2022 update by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide, and severe periodontal (gum) disease, which may result in tooth loss, is also common, with almost 10.0% of the global population affected. Owing to the increased prevalence of the disease, there have been various technological innovations in the market as well. For instance, in March 2022, Bredent Group GmbH and Co.KG launched the whiteSKY ceramic implant system, which is one of the most advanced generation of zirconia implant. Therefore, such positive developments are anticipated to propel the demand for dental implants, thereby surging the market growth.

Moreover, these market players engage in inorganic and organic strategies, including expansions, product launches, acquisitions, collaborations, mergers, and partnerships, to establish a strong presence and expand their geographical reach. For instance, in June 2022, Henry Schein, Inc. announced that it has completed the acquisition of Condor Dental Research Company SA (Condor Dental), a dental distribution company that serves dental general practitioners, specialists, and laboratories in Switzerland. Similarly, in April 2022, Neodent launched its first zirconia implant system with the virtual symposium. Thus, owing to such innovations, acquisitions, and product launches the demand for dental implants is anticipated to increase, owing to which considerable market growth is anticipated over the forecast period.

However, reimbursement issues, high cost of dental implants, and the lack of awareness in developing markets are expected to hinder market growth over the forecast period.
