Dental Implant and Bone Graft Markets to Approach $3.5 Billion in 2010

New York, August 29, 2005 — The worldwide market for implant-based dental reconstruction products will approach nearly $3.5 billion by 2010, according to a new study released today from Kalorama Information. Although the dental implant sector accounts for only about 9% of the global dental market, it is the fastest growing segment with a forecast growth rate of almost 15%.

The new study, Implant-Based Dental Reconstruction: The Worldwide Implant and Bone Graft Market, estimates that growth in implant devices and abutments and dental bone grafts will outstrip other areas of dental devices and products. The aging of the developed world’s population will, despite improved dental health, actually create a larger potential market and provide an excellent opportunity for suppliers and innovators.

“With oral health improving and people living longer, the number of teeth to be maintained is increasing at a rate faster than the population is growing,” notes Anne Anscomb, the author of the final report. “It was once thought that the decline in dental caries, particularly in children, would result in reducing the treatment needs of the population. Instead the opposite is true: Increasing retention of teeth has created new needs and greater demand. As adults retain more teeth, they experience a greater severity of periodontal involvement, which is the leading cause of tooth loss.”

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of available dental implant and bone graft products, including etiology and epidemiological data for tooth loss. Market size, growth, and competitive market share are provided for each segment, and revenue distribution by world geographical region is estimated. In addition, the report thoroughly reviews clinical, demographic, and regulatory trends and profiles 15 key competitors.
