Demand for dental biomaterial and dental implants are expected to push the market for dental equipment and consumables to $26 billion by 2014, according to a new report from the research firm Markets and Markets.
The market for dental implants and dental biomaterials will grow at an overall compound annual growth rate of 12.2% and 10.5%, respectively, from 2009-2014, the report finds.
Emerging technologies will reduce the overall turnaround time for dental procedures while improving efficiency of the dental practitioners, according to the report. For example, the introduction of CAD/CAM has reduced designing time for dental crowns and bridges, while 3D imaging techniques have improved patient diagnosis and procedure planning. In addition, improvements in the field of dental biomaterials and tissue regenerative material have enabled dentists to offer more natural and long-term dental solutions.
