COVID-19 IMPACT

Postponed Elective Procedures amid COVID-19 Led to Revenue Decline

 The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the demand for these implants due to a decline in elective surgical procedures. Dental care was considered an emergency care service in major countries, such as the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reducing number of patient visits to emergency care, rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, and government regulations from several countries that postponed elective surgeries were some of the factors that impacted the market growth during the COVID-19 outbreak.

• For instance, according to the Journal of Oral Implantology, there was a 38% decline in patient visits to emergency dental services at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic than before the pandemic began. Non-emergency dental services declined by 30% of pre-COVID-19 levels. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major effect on the utilization of dental services in the U.S.

The market players witnessed a significant drop in their revenues during 2020. For instance, Institut Straumann AG registered a decrease of around -5.4% in total revenues generated in 2020 as compared to 2019. The company’s dental implant solution segment witnessed a major decline of -14.5% in 2020. Additionally, Envista recorded a reduction of around -15.6% in its total revenues.

However, during 2021, patient visits to dental clinics and hospitals increased as the regulations imposed by governments were relaxed. In 2021, the demand for implants was high due to increase in patient visits and the reopening of all the facilities in various geographies. This scenario increased the revenues of key companies in the market. The revenue generated by Envista in 2021 increased by 30.1% as compared to its revenue in 2020. Therefore, the reopening of healthcare services had a positive impact on the demand for the  implants in 2021. The market is expected to witness a steady pace in terms of market growth from 2022 onwards.

Major factors contributing to the growth of the market include increasing incidence of tooth loss, high demand for aesthetic dentistry, rise in per capita healthcare spending, and launch of technologically advanced products in the market. Dental implant placement is one of the preferred types of treatments for missing teeth. Prevalence of edentulism is high among the elderly age group. Hence, demographic changes in the form of a rapidly aging population are likely to drive the demand for these devices.

According to the BMJ Journals, in 2021, globally, the prevalence of edentulism was around 12% among adults in low and middle-income countries. Thus, the demand for these products is projected to grow due to increasing prevalence of edentulism, which may boost the market growth. Additionally, there are significant innovations in terms of the quality of materials used to make tooth implants. Moreover, the rise in occurrence of other oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth decay, is likely to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Advantages Provided by Implants over Other Methods to Increase Adoption Rate during Forecast Period

These implants can be considered the prodigy in tooth replacement technology, with the help of a unique system that anchors a natural-looking tooth in the open space forming the missing tooth. Moreover, multiple implants can be used to replace more than one tooth, making it a versatile teeth replacement solution. Hence, significant benefits associated with these implants over other tooth replacement methods, is predicted to be one of the prominent growth drivers of the market during the forecast timeframe.

These implants are designed to look like natural teeth. A titanium implant, for example, has great biocompatibility as it fuses with a living bone and forms a solid attachment with the bone in the jaw over the course of several months. These implants are made from high-quality titanium or zirconium material that can last for a lifetime, while bridgework and removable dentures may need to be replaced over time. A dental implant fuses with the jawbone, supporting the bone to continue to stay healthy and rebuild itself, which won’t happen with any other teeth replacement method.

Additionally, an increasing number of research surveys and awareness campaigns initiated to understand and strategize options for better accessibility to these implants in the developing economies is another significant factor boosting the product demand.

• For instance, in September 2020, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) celebrated ‘Dental Implant Awareness Month’, which was for increasing awareness about these implants to be used as replacements for missing teeth. AAID launched a campaign with articles and videos showing reasons why implants are the perfect option for teeth replacement.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost of Implant Procedures to Restrict Market Growth

Dental implant procedures are expensive and dependent on multiple factors, such as type of implant, nature of implant material, design of the implant, and number of teeth to be replaced with the implant.

• For instance, according to an article published by Betheme, in April 2022, in India, the overall cost of an implant used to replace multiple teeth varies from USD 6,500-10,500. Hence, the high price of dental type of implants might hamper the industry’s growth in developing economies during the forecast period.

The developing and underdeveloped countries are struggling to get access to proper dental facilities and dentists. Moreover, there is limited awareness of dental disorders and available treatment options. The economic status of these countries limits the spending on dental treatments.
