Market Challenges And Opportunities
Global Dentures Market– Drivers
- Increasing oral health issues: Increasing oral health problems are expected to drive the global dentures market. Growing elderly population that are prone to tooth loss due to age-related issues is also expected to drive the market growth. Tooth decay, gum diseases, and accidents also lead to tooth loss, and thus, necessitating dentures as a common restorative solution. Limited access to dental care in some areas means that dentures become a crucial option when other treatments aren't readily available. For instance, on March 14, 2023, World Health Organization published a data from the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) which estimated that oral diseases affect close to 3.5 million people worldwide, with 3 out of 4 people affected living in middle-income countries. Globally, an estimated 2 million people suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.
- Increasing product launches: Global dentures market is expected to witness growth due to product launches and approval. Technological advancements, enhanced aesthetics, customization, and the introduction of implant-supported dentures have reshaped the industry. Patient awareness and competition among manufacturers further drive the market growth, meeting evolving patient preferences and needs. For instance, on May 22, 2023, SprintRay Inc., a global leader in digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions, announced that it had received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for High Impact Denture Base, the first ceramic infused denture material for 3D fabrication and repair of full and partial removable dentures and baseplates.
- Availability of alternatives in the market such as dental implants, overdentures, and dental bridges
