Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market Analysis

The dental bone graft substitutes market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted industries worldwide. As all healthcare providers were engaged with COVID-19 management, access was restricted to essential care only, and the temporary closure of dental clinics drastically reduced dental surgeries. For instance, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommended that elective dental procedures be postponed until April 6, 2020, and dental practices should provide emergency-only dental services. Additionally, as per April 1, 2020, update, the ADA advised offices to remain closed to all but urgent and emergency procedures until April 30, at the earliest, owing to increasing COVID-19 cases. As a result, access to dental care was substantially decreased. Moreover, in March 2020, an ADA health policy institute survey indicated that 76% of dental offices surveyed were closed but seeing emergency patients only, 19% were completely closed, and 5% were open but seeing a lower volume of patients. These factors severely impacted dental bone graft substitute manufacturers and their supply chains. Thus, these statistics indicate that the demand for dental bone graft substitutes was reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, the significant factors responsible for the market's growth include the rising demand for medical and dental tourism; the increasing burden of dental diseases; and technological advancements in dentistry. The rising burden of dental diseases is driving the market's growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (2020), oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people, and over 530 million children suffer from caries of their primary teeth.

To maintain the existing jaw, bone grafting is done before implant placement, which helps with successful implant surgery. Thus, increasing the use of such synthetic and biocompatible grafts in dental procedures ultimately triggers the market's growth. As per a May 2020 published study titled "Global Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and Lack of Its Surveillance," periodontitis was most common in older people and populations from high-income countries. The distribution varied significantly between low-income (28.7%), lower-middle (10%), upper-middle (42.5%), and high-income (43.7%) countries. Additionally, according to the International Dental Journal's article titled, "Risk Indicators of Tooth Loss among the Mexican Adult Population: A Cross-Sectional Study," published in February 2021, tooth loss was 57.2% due to tooth decay in Mexico. Hence, owing to the aforementioned factors, the market is expected to witness significant growth in the future.

Additionally, the strategic initiatives taken by the market players are also propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2022, the Aspen Group and ACE Surgical Supply, one of the providers of bone regenerative products, signed a multi-year strategic partnership for dental bone grafting solutions.

Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market is expected to show growth over the forecast period. However, expensive dental procedures and reimbursement issues hinder the market's growth.

Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of this report, a bone graft is used to fix problematic joints or damaged ones, which helps grow bone around the implant. Bone grafting is performed before dental implants to restore missing teeth. Moreover, dentistry uses bone grafts as fillers and scaffolds to facilitate bone formation and promote wound healing. They have no antigen-antibody reaction and are biodegradable. The dental bone grafts develop a new bone that acts as a mineral reservoir. The dental bone graft substitutes market is segmented by product type (xenograft, allograft, autograft, and other types), the mechanism (osteoconduction, osteoinduction, osteogenesis, and osteopromotion), end users (hospitals, dental clinics, and other end users), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America).
