Market Trends of Global Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market according to our research experts:
The Xenogaft Segment is Expected to Grow Over the Forecast Period
The xenograft segment is expected to hold a significant market share by type. A xenograft is an organ transplant or a tissue graft to an individual of another species. Xenografts are obtained from pigs (porcine) or cows (bovine) and are prepared for implantation into the human body once thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. Deproteinized bovine bone is the most common source of xenograft materials in dentistry. A few commercially available xenografts are Bio-Oss, Bio-Oss Collagen, and Pepgen-P15, among others. As xenograft are most affordable, the key players in the market are taking initiatives to launch new products.
For instance, in March 2022, Fredun Pharmaceuticals Limited received approval to manufacture Xenografts for various dental and orthopedic surgical appliances from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), India. With this, the company aims to penetrate the dental fraternity across India. Such developments are expected to fuel the development of dental bone graft substitutes for xenografts, thereby boosting the segment's growth.
Additionally, the strategic initiatives taken by the market players are also contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, in September 2021, Neoss signed an agreement with Purgo Biologics and became a key partner and distributor of the Purgo Xenograft product range for dental implant solutions in the German, Swedish, and United Kingdom markets.
Thus, the segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.
North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the global dental bone graft substitutes market. The United States is likely to hold a significant market share in the North American region. The major factors contributing to the market's growth are strategic initiatives undertaken by the market players and the growing number of dental visits.
For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data updated in January 2021, 1 in 4 adults between 20-64 years of age suffer from at least one cavity, and almost 57% of adolescents aged 12-19 have had a hole in their permanent teeth. Also, as per December 2020 statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1 in 4 (26%) adults have untreated tooth decay, and nearly half (46%) of all adults aged 30 years or older show signs of gum disease; and severe gum disease affects about 9% of adults in the United States. These statistics indicate that the percentage of the population visiting dental clinics for examinations contributes to the market's growth.
Moreover, the growing number of strategic initiatives such as product launches, approvals, acquisitions, mergers, partnerships, and joint ventures are anticipated to boost regional growth. For instance, Dentsply Sirona acquired Datum Dental Ltd., known for innovative dental regeneration products, in January 2021. With this acquisition, Dentsply Sirona promotes the complete OSSIX portfolio, including OSSIX Plus, OSSIX Volumax, and OSSIX Bone, in the United States, Canada, and several other countries.
Thus, the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.
