ZIRCONIA BASED DENTAL MATERIALS MARKET ANALYSIS

Zirconia is a material used in dental restorative procedures. It is zirconium oxide, a form of ceramic that is more durable than metal alloys and porcelain. Zirconia is used in making dental crowns, dental bridges, etc. Dental crowns are used as covering fillings in teeth, in root canal, replace wear out teeth, teeth capping, etc.  Apart from this, Zirconia has many advantages in dentistry such as:

• Zirconia is strong material. Crowns made for the teeth should be strong and more durable so zirconia is one of the great option for make dental crowns.
• For individuals who need posterior crowns, which need a lot of strength for chewing and crushing food, zirconia crowns are the best option.
• Zirconia crowns and bridges have great beauty and are extremely durable, hence becoming more popular as titanium used for making dental products
• Titanium implants have more complains related to allergies and its esthetic, Zirconia implants shows small amount of these problems hence, has succeeded in establishing itself as a suitable substitute for titanium.
• Zirconia implants has shown a minor connection to bacterial plaque and a minimal inflammatory infiltration.

Global Zirconia Based Dental Materials Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to hamper the growth of the global zirconia based dental materials market, owing to complete lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, according to the Oral Health survey in 2021, COVID-19 has negative impact on dental health care sector which resulted into decrease in the dental market revenue. Government across the world imposed lockdown as a safety concern due to which dentists were unable to practice, supply of dental materials were stopped which hamper the global zirconia based dental materials market.

After COVID -19 pandemic there is recovery in dental health care industry, through which it is expected to drive the growth of global zirconia based dental materials market. For instance, according to June 2020 update of American Dental Association, In U.S. dental spending then recovers to US$ 8.6 billion in October 2020 and then to US$ 11.7 billion in January 2021. There is an increase in dental practice by dentist, patient volume has been increased and employment growth in dental sector has been rapid than any other health care sector.

The global zirconia based dental materials market is estimated to be valued at US$ 292.7 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period (2022-2030)

Market players are indulged in launching new products, in order to develop zirconia based dental materials. This is expected to drive growth of the global zirconia based dental materials market over the forecast period.

New product launches is expected to drive growth of the global zirconia based dental materials market for the forecast period. For instance, in March 2020, Dental Creations, Ltd., a dental industry launched Zir-Perfect, High Translucent CAD/CAM Zirconia Disc. Dental Creations involved in production of dental product. Zir-Perfect has a three-point flexural strength of 1200 Mpa, 43% translucency with size 98mm by 14mm.

Increasing development in technology to work with the structure of zirconia based dental product, expected to drive the global zirconia based dental materials market over the forecast period.

New electronic platform development for sintering dental zirconia structures, expected to drive the global zirconia based dental materials market over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, Zirkonzahn USA Inc., developed sintering platform named Zirkonofen Turbo, controlled by an intelligent electronic system and it present sintering programs, the act of turning forming solid object by applying pressure and heat, in speedy way for each variety of Zirkonzahn zirconia enables the sintering of smaller zirconia structures in roughly 90 minutes. This will reduce the processing time upto 81% and minimize the electric consumption by 73%.

Global Zirconia Based Dental Materials Market – Restraints

High cost of zirconia dental product and insurance company not covering dental care, which may have negative impact on growth of global zirconia based dental materials market. For instance, Medicare, a government national health insurance program in the U.S. does not cover most of the dental care treatment coast. It pay hospital stay if needed but doesn’t cover dental care. For instance, 3M company’s product Zirconia Crowns cost US$ 189.21 whereas Porcelain - Base Metal Crown cost US$ 63.07 this is expected to reduce the global zirconia based dental materials market.

Global Zirconia Based Dental Materials Market – Regional Analysis

On the basis of region, the global zirconia based dental materials market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.

Among regions, North America zirconia based dental material market is expected to hold a dominant position during the forecast period, owing to increasing number of people visiting to dental clinics. For instance, according to Center of Disease Control and Prevention, the dental visit of the U.S. people above age 18 was about 63.0% and 85.9% of children aged between 2-17 have visited the dental clinics for dental checkups in year 2020 and 2018 respectively. Increasing number of people towards dental treatment is expected to drive the demand of zirconia based dental product.

Asia Pacific is expecting the growth in zirconia based dental material market in forecast period, owing to increasing demand for human resource in oral health care sectors. For instance, according to the one of the draft in 2021 from Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, in India, there is high demand for human resource for oral health to be go up with the establishment of Health & Wellness Centers under Ayushman Bharat, a National Health Protection Scheme, India. Since around August 2020, there were 2.78 lakh registered dental surgeons nationwide, according to data from the Dental Council of India.
