Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular. Dental implants have many advantages, and more and more people are getting them. This is mainly due to a combination of improved technology, increased sugar consumption and cosmetic goals. A new report has showed there are trends in the industry that suggest the market is only going to grow more.
Dental implants are a very common feature for many. Whilst many people have turned to implants after having a tooth removed, there is also a growing cosmetic market as more and more people aim to have a perfect smile.
A new report has looked into the overall state of the dental implant industry. The report identified three trends. These trends propose that implants will continue to grow in popularity in upcoming years.
Why would someone have an implant?
Dental implants are metal posts that are placed under the jawbone. These posts allow a dental professional to mount a replacement tooth where desired. They look and feel like a normal tooth.
One of the main reasons that someone would have an implant is tooth loss. Unhealthy eating patterns such as a high sugar intake can result in gum disease and tooth decay. If untreated, tooth decay and gum disease can cause severe pain. Eventually, a person may need to get the tooth removed. But this is where a dental implant would be used.
The number of people affected by dental disorders around the world continues to rise [1]. For example, a 2015 study found that 45.8% of the American population had a form of untreated tooth decay [1].
However, many people choose to get dental implants for cosmetic reasons. Implants can replace teeth that a person may not like. Implants can add stability to teeth, are aesthetically pleasing, low-risk and function well [2].
Technology in dentistry has come a long way in recent years. Implants can be inserted easily and with minimum pain. In fact, over 3million people in the United States had dental implants as of 2019 [3].
The Report
A report was recently published by Global Markets Insight Inc [4]. The report reviewed the overall state of the implant market.
The report found that the overall dental implants market exceeded $4billion in 2021 [4]. Growth is expected over the next few years. It is believed that the overall dental implant market could be worth $7billion by 2028.
The report suggests that this is mainly due to a high demand for cosmetic dentistry in developed nations [4]. However, other factors listed included a rising geriatric population and high rate of dental disorders [4].
Technological advancements are also expected to continue. The authors point to 3D printing technology being used in the market already [4]. This technology is likely to be used by more nations, widening the market further.
The identified trends
The authors of the report have identified three trends that are key reasons behind the ongoing growth of implants [1]:
- Growing popularity of dental clinics: Awareness of the importance of dental health is making more people conscious of needing to attend dental clinics. There are also rising numbers of skilled dentists, which increases consumer confidence [1].
- Demand from Asia-Pacific region: The Asia-Pacific region is becoming a lucrative region for dental implant companies. Factors behind this include increasing disposable economies, increasing numbers of federal dental programs and population growth [1].
Implementation of strategic growth ideas: Companies in the industry are partaking in growth strategies. For example, these include new product launches, marketing campaigns and even giveaways [1].
