Dental biomaterials market is growing at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period owing to the backdrop of rising demand for tooth restoration. The rising prevalence of decayed damaged and the fractured tooth has surged the demand for more advanced biomaterials to cater to the need of the increasing tooth harms. Dental biomaterials are used to restore the decayed, damaged and fractured tooth and it includes natural tissues and biocompatible synthetic materials. Natural dental tissues comprise of enamel, dentin, cementum, bone and other intraoral tissues. Biocompatible synthetic materials consist of metals, synthetic, ceramics, polymers, and composite structures. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases affected at least 3.58 billion people globally, with permanent tooth caries is the most prevalent of all the conditions assessed. Growing geriatric population coupled with the increasing prevalence of damaged tooth has propelled the demand for dental biomaterials. Moreover, consumer awareness towards the dental related issues coupled with the surge for minimally invasive dental procedures has fueled the dental biomaterials market. The dental biomaterials have been gaining traction due to the rising investment by private as well as public sector towards dental tourism along with the consumer preference for cosmetic dentistry.

Segmental Overview

The dental biomaterials market is segmented on the basis of type and applications. Based on type, the market is segmented into metallic, metal-ceramic, ceramic, polymeric, and natural biomaterials. The metallic segment consists of titanium metal as dental implant materials as it is resistive to both corrosion and fracturing. Ceramic consists of silica-, alumina-, lithium-, and zirconia-based materials. Moreover, zirconia is the most preferred solution for dental biomaterials. The polymeric segment consists of vinyl acrylics, epoxy resins, polyacrylic acid along with many others. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, and others. Implantology segment is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing traction of dental implants due to the rising number of tooth harms.

Growth in the metallic segment during the forecast period.

The metallic segment is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period owing to its capability to resist corrosion and fracturing. The metallic segment consists of titanium, stainless steel, chromium, and others. Titanium metal is the most preferred solution over various metallic materials for dental implants due to its sturdy and robust nature. Moreover, titanium provides dental implants for a prolonged period along with the reduced cost of titanium has increased the demand for metal dental biomaterials. The rising prevalence of dental implants has increased the demand for metallic segment ad they transmit mechanical forces into the jawline and provides natural growth to it.

Regional Overview

Geographically, the market is further segmented on the basis of major regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the world (RoW). Asia-Pacific region is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing geriatric population and increasing healthcare expenditure along with rising disposable income has boosted the market share of dental consumables. High prevalence of oral dental diseases such as dental caries has increased the demand for dental biomaterials. According to the data from the data council of India, there are approximately 1,80,000 dentists for the population of about 121 million. According to NCBI, oral diseases are prevalent among school children and a number of adults affecting around 60-90% of the population of the emerging economies. The factors tend to drive the market share of dental biomaterials.
