Market Trends of Global Dental Obturators Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Dental Obturators Market according to our research experts:
Hospitals Segment by End User is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share in the Dental Obturators Market
Hospitals segmet is expected to hold major share. Obturators are used to repair the maxilla following trauma, surgical resection of a tumor, or congenital deformities to provide a functional and aesthetic restoration of the maxillary arch. The rehabilitation of a patient who has had a maxillectomy, needs a prosthesis that delivers the best aesthetic and functional results and as the prevalence of maxillectomy defects increasing, the demand of obturators for hospital use is estimated to rise.
Dental obturators serve a dual purpose as they restore normal speech while also improving the appearance of the mouth. The global market for dental obturators is expected to grow significantly as patients become more anxious about their cosmetic look after surgery. Along with this, increased number of oral cancers is estimated to contribute in the growth of dental obturators market.
The global dental obturators market is estimated to benefit from intense competition in the form of collaborations and partnerships, as well as new product development. For instance, in July 2019, Fraunhofer scientists and Dentsply Sirona successfully collaborated to develop prosthetic material ZLS (zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate) for dentists to perform quick post-surgery restoration. ZLS is valued for its aesthetic as well as for its higher strength.
Deformed palatal structures develop from dental surgery, which can cause serious regurgitation and speech issues as well as damages the patient's look. As patients become more worried about their cosmetic appearance following surgery, the global market for dental obturators is likely to rise substantially. Because of its dual duty of restoring normal speech and providing pleasing oral aesthetics, dental obturators are projected to witness a rapid growth in demand. According to American Dental Association Health Policy Institute's second annual Dental Industry Report, dental spending in the United States reached an all-time high of 136 USD billion in 2018, accounting for 3.7 percent of total health spending. According FDI World Dental Federation 2020, nearly about 3.5 billion people worldwide get affected by oral diseases and according to oral health of World Health Organization, palate and lip clefts are the most common facial and oral birth defects, affecting as many as 1 in 500 newborns.
Furthermore, in May 2019, Kulzer, a global leader in dental materials, came in partnership with DENTCA, Inc. to launch world's first web-based denture design software, through which dental labs and doctors will be able to create a denture online, obtain design files, and print the denture. Thus, the increasing products launch related to dental care will also surge the growth of the studied market.
North America is Expected to Hold a Major Share of the Market in the Forecast Period
Within North America, the United States has held the major share of the market and expected to dominate over the forecast period.
The growing incidence of oral disorders in the region, as well as the increasing adoption of advanced technology in healthcare systems, are driving the dental obturators market in North America. According to American Cancer Society, the estimated new cases of oral cavity cancers are about 54,010 with about 10,850 deaths in the United States in 2021. As the need of development in obturators increases due to above mentioned scenario, the Dental Obturators Market is expected to grow in the forecast period.
North America is likely to maintain its dominance in the global dental obturators market due to the presence of key market players and advancement in the medical technology. For instance, in June 2021, STERIS plc. completed the acquisition of Cantel Medical, a global provider of infection prevention products and services to endoscopy, dental, dialysis and life sciences Customers. Thus, these advancement are anticipated to drive the market gowth in the region.
Additionally, the market in Asia is expected to be fueled by increased public and private investment in oral health. China, India and Southeast Asia are expected to contribute significantly to the global market for dental obturators.
