Market Trends of Oral Care Products Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Oral Care Products Market according to our research experts:
Titanium Implants Segment is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
Titanium dental implants are known to be compatible with body tissues during healing. The titanium surface of the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through the osseointegration process while healing, which can take 3 to 6 months. Titanium is the main material for the development of dental implants. However, different studies are being conducted to improve the osseointegration process. Titanium dental implants are typically used to replace damaged or missing teeth, and they tend to work best in candidates who are in overall good health.
The increasing number of product launches and efficiency of titanium are expected to drive segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the NCBI research study published in May 2022, titanium is a bioinert material, causing little or no deleterious effect on the surrounding tissue, making it the preferred choice for dental implants. Furthermore, rising research studies demonstrating the efficacy of titanium-based dental implants will boost the segment.For instance, as per the October 2021 research study, the nano-coating of NanoZnO-modified titanium implants helps to reduce the adhesion of bacteria, thereby improving the efficacy of orthopedic implants.
Furthermore, increasing oral health problems across the globe are also expected to propel the demand for titanium dental implants. For instance, as per the 2022 NCBI study, oral health problems affect about 3.5 billion people globally, with an estimated 267.0 million people suffering from tooth loss, oral health problems affect about 3.5 billion people globally, with an estimated 267.0 million people suffering from tooth loss. Similarly, according to the CDC figures from 2020, nearly half (46.0%) of all adults aged 30 or older exhibited symptoms of gum disease, more than one-fourth (24.0%) of adults had untreated dental decay in the United States, and severe gum disease affected roughly 9.0% of all individuals.
Therefore, owing to the advantages of titanium implants and the increasing number of cases of oral health problems, the demand for titanium implants is anticipated to increase, so considerable segment growth is expected over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall oral care products market over the forecast period. The growth is due to factors such as the increasing prevalence of dental diseases, wide acceptance of technological advancements in dental implants, and an increasing number of dental visits, which are propelling the growth of the market. For instance, the Early Release of Selected Estimates-Based Data published in August 2021 reported that in 2021 there were more than 63.0% of adults aged 18 years or older who visited the dentist in the United States. Such a high number of dental visits may increase the demand for dental implants, so considerable market growth is expected in the North American region.
Key product launches, a high concentration of market players or manufacturers' presence, acquisitions and partnerships among major players, and increasing cases of dental diseases in the United States are some of the factors driving the growth of the dental implants market in the country. For instance, in January 2021, Zahn Dental, the U.S. dental laboratory business of Henry Schein, Inc., announced that it had entered into a distribution agreement with Terrats Medical, S.L., the Spain-based manufacturer of the DESS Dental Smart Solutions (DESS) system. Similarly, in September 2020, Ditron Dental USA, the United States affiliate of Ditron Dental, started its commercial operations for its dental implant portfolio in the country. Thus, the expansion of key market players in the country may increase their market share, which will boost market growth in the country.
Therefore, owing to the aforesaid factors, the growth of the studied market is anticipated in the North American region.
