Bone Grafts in Dentistry – Competitive Landscape and Industry Outlook

In 2021 the size of the dental bone graft substitutes market was $583.60 million and is expected to reach $995.22 million by 2030, representing a CAGR of 6.11% from 2021 to 2030.

A dental bone graft adds volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. Dental bone grafts are fillers or scaffolds that enable the bone formation and wound repair and are appropriate for various clinical procedures such as socket filling, ridge volume preservation, and bone formation. Bone grafts can restore functionality without disrupting with attractive appearance. Grafts are placed at numerous places in the mouth cavity for various purposes, including filling a local bony effect caused by infection or trauma and filling a peri-implant defect caused by peri-implantitis.

Dental bone graft substitute market drivers

• The rise in the geriatric population and advancements in surgical procedures like dental implants, bone grafting, and bone regeneration drive the growth of this industry.
• According to the United Nations report on World Population Ageing in 2020, the part of older adults 65 and older will increase from 9.3% in 2020 to 16% by 2050. According to the WHO, untreated dental caries (cavity) is the most common condition, affecting 2.3 billion people worldwide.
• As stated by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, dental implants have a success rate of more than 95%, and over 5 million people have dental implants in the United States each year.

Customers’ growing preference for cosmetic dentistry is one of the main opportunities for expanding the dental bone graft substitute market. According to a new survey, 40% of the UK population is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth, with approximately half (48%) planning to undergo cosmetic dental work. Technology, materials, and methods have greatly contributed to cosmetic dental growth.
