Abstract
The dental implant market is a part of the dental industry that is
characterized as a large under-penetrated market globally. Worldwide, the
dental market is dominated by the US, Europe and Japan, which collectively
accounts for more than 80% of the global revenue. In the recent years,
increasing aging population coupled with rising awareness for oral health,
high esthetics and improved dental treatments have boosted the growth of this
segment. Although, the tooth restoration market is highly under-penetrated
globally, the market is expected to sustain a double digit growth on account
of the rising edentulous population worldwide.
In the last few years, the implant industry has moved from the use of
conventional materials (onlays, inlays, crowns, bridges, and partial or full
dentures) to all-ceramic, individualized products based on CAD/ CAM
techniques. In addition, the demand for fast and minimally invasive
procedures, good esthetics and long lasting results has resulted in companies
increasing their investments in research and development and in the launch of
new and innovative products. Thus, high precision scanners, chairside
equipment, surgery planning systems and software offer substantial growth
opportunities.
Geographically, in terms of revenue, Europe and the US account for more than
three-fourth of the market due to favorable demographic and socio-cultural
factors. The Asia Pacific and Latin American region offers huge growth
potential on account of their large populations, rising per capita incomes and
a growing middle-class. In Europe, countries such as Italy, Sweden and
Switzerland have a higher dental implant penetration rate when compared to the
more mature and developed markets of the UK and France.
Nobel Biocare and Straumann are regarded as the global leaders in the dental
implant industry with the five major dental implant manufacturers accounting
for around two-thirds of the total worldwide market. However, in the past four
to five years, increase in regional implant manufacturing companies has
resulted in intense competition as well as consolidation in the global dental
industry.
The report analyzes the various segments of the dental implant industry and
assesses market opportunities available for the players. The drivers, trends
and challenges for the industry have also been analyzed. It focuses on the
growth of this industry in the different regions of the world and discusses
about few emerging markets, namely China and India. Further, the report
highlights the positioning and strategies of top global implant manufacturers
