The global single-tooth implants and dental bridges market will reach more than $4.7 billion by 2019, up from about $3.3 billion this year, according to a new report from Markets and Markets.
The report indicates that this market has experienced significant growth over the past few years with rising incidences of tooth caries and other periodontal conditions, with an overall increase in edentulism globally. As the baby-booming population ages, there is a rising demand for tooth restorative techniques and products such as single-tooth implants and dental bridges. The report cautions, however, that limited dental insurance coverage could hinder the growth of this market.
Interestingly, Europe is estimated to be the largest market for global single-tooth implants and dental bridges in 2014, followed by North America and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The APAC region and Latin America are expected to show the highest growth rates during the forecast period. This is mainly attributed to rising dental tourism, low prices of dental implants, and the improving medical infrastructure in these regions, according to the report.
The report lists the prominent players in the market as Straumann (Switzerland), Dentsply International (U.S.), Nobel Biocare (Switzerland), Zimmer (U.S.), Biomet 3i (U.S.), 3M ESPE (U.S.), Danaher (U.S.), Avinent Implant System (Spain), and Osstem Implant (South Korea).
