Summary of our market study
The global dental implant market experienced a decline of 9.9% due to weaker demand amid the health crisis, according to Fortune Business Insights. However, in 2021, the market began to see a recovery, with the UK showing a particularly interesting trend: while imports continued to decrease, exports experienced an encouraging resurgence. The market is expected to grow at a steady rate, reaching a valuation of $3.9 billion by 2028.
Despite the UK market being dominated by foreign companies such as Straumann, Danaher, Dentsply Sirona, BioHorizons, and Zimmer Biomet, domestic companies like OsteoCare are also making a mark. Innovations, like robot-assisted dental surgery and 3D-printed implants, are poised to disrupt the market further. The UK's trade with countries in this sector also shows a deficit, with noteworthy import sources from the USA, Sweden, and Switzerland, and exports primarily directed to the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Spain.
Trends in the UK Dental Implant Market: A Comprehensive Insight
The UK dental implant market is experiencing a burgeoning growth fueled by an aging population, the prevalence of poor eating habits, and a general lack of oral hygiene. These factors, catalyzed by the affordability and accessibility of high-quality dental practices, have managed to bolster the demand for dental implants within the nation. Approximately between 125,000 and 135,000 implants are placed annually, indicating a significant market potential for dental implant providers. The high fragmentation of the market is evident, with major players like Straumann Holding AG, Nobel Biocare Services AG, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. dominating the landscape, alongside innovative companies such as Keystone Dental and iDentical entering the scene with advanced dental implant technologies like 3D-printed tooth replacements and robot-assisted surgeries. The UK's import and export activities reflect a trade deficit, with exports being consistently lower than imports. In particular, the United States, Sweden, and Switzerland emerge as significant exporters of dental implants to the UK.
On the other hand, the majority of UK exports in dental implants are shared among the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Spain. Factors like periodontitis, cavities, and physical injuries have been identified as primary causes of tooth loss, which subsequently drive the demand for dental implants. Diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, smoking habits, and poor diet are underscored as key risk factors, intensifying the need for dental health interventions. According to Delta Dental Michigan, an alarming 84% of UK adults fall into risk categories predisposed to dental issues such as cavities. Moreover, detrimental dietary habits and insufficient dental care practices are widespread, further exacerbating the dental health crisis. For instance, over 20% of Britons are reported to have a heavily sweetened diet or have not visited a dentist in over two years. These statistics translate to a heightened necessity for dental implants and advanced dental care solutions. The UK continues to innovate in the field of dental implant production, with homegrown companies like OsteoCare making strides in domestic design and manufacturing. Additionally, the global advancement in dental technologies, together with the foray of new entrants, suggests a dynamic and evolving market structure. With robotic assistance and 3D printing at the forefront of dental implant science.
