Dental Surgical Instruments Market Size

Dental Surgical Instruments Market Analysis

The dental surgical instruments market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.

• With the emergence of COVID-19, medical services other than COVID-19 were affected severely due to the restrictions put in place to check the spread of infection due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in different regions of the world. According to the study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in April 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of conservative operations such as commercial restorations or filled canals declined dramatically, while the number of surgical procedures increased. 
• The pandemic has probably impacted the scope of dental procedures performed, particularly during its acute phase. However, currently, the market is growing at a stable pace owing to a resumption of dental surgeries, diagnosis procedures, manufacturing activities, and availability of products, and it is expected to witness a similar trend over the coming years.
• The growing burden of dental diseases such as periodontal disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, halitosis, and dental caries, among other diseases, is driving the market growth. For instance, as per a 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. Thus, the huge burden of dental diseases is expected to rise in demand for its treatment and surgeries, thereby boosting the market for dental surgical instruments over the forecast period.
• Additionally, initiatives by the government that help people with dental treatment are expected to propel the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in February 2021, the Government of Spain allocated EUR 49 million (USD 56.7 million) to expand dental care coverage. 
• Similarly, acquisitions are another factor in market growth. For instance, in April 2021, J. Morita Corp. acquired the business of the Dentsply Sirona Nasu plant in Japan, which manufactures orthodontic and other dental-related products. Such an acquisition would increase the market growth in the upcoming period. Also, strategic activities by the research institutes are expected to boost the market over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2022, the Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, a unit of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV), began commercializing its proprietary oral surgery devices.
• Therefore, the above-mentioned factors, such as the growing burden of dental diseases, are expected to increase the market growth in the upcoming period. However, the high cost of dental surgical instruments and poor reimbursement policies may hinder the growth of this market.
