The market for dental implants and prostheses - Spain (2023)

Since 2020, the Spanish medical and dental instruments and supplies manufacturing sector has experienced fluctuations, with a slight decline of 2.65% to 2.061 billion euros in 2020. Despite this, overall sales for dentistry in Spain indicated a 16.25% increase from 2018 to 2022, with a notable recovery post-COVID. The global market for dental implants and prostheses is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2022 to 2028, reaching $8.911 billion. In Spain, there has been a 7.3% increase in sector employment during the same period.

Dentistry forms 16% of Spain's medical device market, with the sector showing price index growth from 98.69 in January 2019 to 102.86 in May 2023. Dental implant prices averaged around 1,450 euros, while dentures were around 460 to 1,200 euros. Public spending on dentistry dropped by 23%, while personal expenditure rose from 388.5 euros to 421 euros. Aging demographics also suggest increased future demand, hinting at an expanding and potentially more lucrative market in the coming years.

Trends and Dynamics in the Spanish Dental Care Market

In recent years, the Spanish dental care market has shown significant growth driven by a combination of demographic trends, increased awareness of dental health, and higher consumption of dental services. The aging population has been a crucial factor influencing demand in the dental care market. Between 2011 and 2022, the number of individuals aged 65 and over increased by roughly 20%, from just under 8 million to over 9.5 million. This demographic change indicates an expanding market segment likely to require more comprehensive dental care and prosthetics, including dentures. The market has also been shaped by evolving consumer attitudes toward dental health and cosmetic dentistry. The rise in disposable incomes and changes in state reimbursement policies have influenced patient decisions and increased the demand for various dental procedures. Although certain services like implants and crowns are not covered by social security, the Spanish market has adapted to this by offering private insurance plans catering to these needs. On the supply side, Spain boasts numerous dental laboratories and technicians, with the market demonstrating growth except for the exceptional circumstances of 2020, influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the Spanish healthcare system does not cover all aspects of dental care, with implants and crowns remaining out-of-pocket expenses for patients unless they have private insurance. Looking at the financial aspect, public spending on dentistry has seen an overall decrease, with a drop of around 23% over a decade, which could have influenced shifts towards private spending. Meanwhile, private dental expenditure has notably increased, particularly among women, indicating that households are more willing to invest in dental services. The employment landscape in the sector appears to be undergoing a consolidation, with the number of companies decreasing by around 5.8%. This suggests a maturing market with possible mergers and acquisitions leading to larger but fewer entities in the dental care sector. With over 40,000 dental surgeons operating in the country as of 2021 the professional dental landscape in Spain is robust and competitive, with Madrid, Andalusia, and Catalonia home to over half of the country's dental professionals. In conclusion, the Spanish dental care market has experienced dynamic changes over the past decade, with a growing demand influenced by demographic trends, increased private spending, and a competitive landscape of practitioners. Despite challenges related to public spending cuts, the market seems poised for continued growth, adapting to meet patient needs and preferences in dental health.
