Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants Market Size

Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants Market Analysis

The zygomatic and pterygoid implants market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period.

The onset of COVID-19 presented a significant challenge for dentistry. The fear of getting infected with the virus and the postponement of dental surgery procedures and online consultation were the critical factors contributing to decreased dental clinic visits. For instance, in March 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommended that dental practices postpone elective dental procedures and provide emergency-only dental services to help keep patients from burdening hospital emergency departments. This subsequently leads to decreased demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implants, affecting the overall market. However, with the decline in COVID-19 cases and resumption of services, the studied market is expected to recover from the effect in the next two-three years.

The increasing prevalence of oral diseases, rising awareness about oral health, and growing demand for cosmetic dentistry are the major factors expected to drive the growth of the zygomatic and pterygoid implant market. For instance, as per November 2022 estimates of the WHO, oral diseases affected close to 3.5 billion people worldwide, with 3 out of 4 people living in middle-income countries. Furthermore, according to American Dental Association, in November 2022, the global cases of oral diseases have increased by 1 billion over the last 30 years. With such an increase in dental disease, the demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implants is expected to increase, driving growth in the market. Additionally, according to a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, in November 2022, an average patient spent more than USD 10,000 on dental cosmetic procedure visits. High cosmetic dentistry spending is expected to increase the demand for zygomatic and pterygoid implant procedures. Thus, driving the market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, many courses and symposiums on zygomatic and pterygoid implants are being held for treatment advancements expected to increase awareness about these implants and add to the market's growth. For instance, in June 2022, the Oral Reconstruction Foundation (ORF) International Symposium 2022 made a concerted effort to educate and train more dentists on All-on-X dental implant procedures for zygomatic and pterygoid implants. Such courses and training are expected to increase that procedure's efficiency and higher safety, thus increasing awareness of zygomatic and pterygoid implant treatments among dentists and driving the market's growth. Therefore, the abovementioned factors are attributed collectively to the studied market growth over the forecast period. However, the growing rate of complications linked to implant-associated infections is a major factor restraining the market's growth.
