The global dental implants market size was USD 3.66 billion in 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with dental implants witnessing a drastic negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market has witnessed a decline of 13.7% in the year 2020. The market is USD 3.74 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 5.71 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 6.2% in the 2021-2028 period. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Tooth loss has become a common problem resulting from aging, poor eating habits, lack of oral hygiene, and accidents among the world's population. Dental implants are the devices used to support dental prosthetics/false teeth. According to the facts given by the Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation (FOR), more than 240 million people in 2020 are completely or partially edentulous. The increasing demand for tooth implants is expected to grow rapidly due to the implants' advantages over other tooth replacement methods such as safety, effectiveness, natural-looking teeth, and durability.

Extended application of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology in implant dentistry has resulted in the simplified and cost-effective production of precise and durable implant components. Moreover, this technology facilitates non-invasive flapless surgeries resulting in reduced healing time and postoperative discomfort while preserving the soft tissues of the teeth.

The growing awareness about oral health, the surge in the economies, and the rise in the importance of aesthetic restoration of tooth implants are factors poised to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Postponed Elective Procedure amid COVID-19 to Lead to Revenue Decline

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the medical device market involving elective surgical procedures. The dental procedures involve close contact between the patient and the dentists, increasing the spread of COVID-19 infection. Due to all such risks, the regulatory and government authorities from several countries have postponed elective surgeries.

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a drastic decline in the growth of dental implants industry. Several countries such as U.S., Italy, UK, which are the major markets of implants imposed lockdown measures and all the dental facilities were closed. A decline in the number of patient visits to the dental facilities has been witnessed due to the fear of getting infected. Hence, factors such as disruption of supply chain, elective procedures being postponed, unwillingness of patients to visit to healthcare facilities especially dentists due to the fear of getting infected, etc. are the major factors hampering the sales of implants in the year 2020. For instance, in March 2021, as per the Dental Intelligence customer base, the dental practice revenue dropped by 6% year-over-year in 2020.

Furthermore, the dental implant manufacturers are facing great challenge as cancellation of dental procedures across the globe has resulted in revenue decline of their dental business. For instance, according to the annual report of Institut Straumann AG, the implant solution segment that includes dental implants witnessed a major decline of -14.5% in 2020. This was primarily attributable to the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the company’s dental business.
