The global dental adhesives and sealants market size is projected to reach USD 6.1 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 18.9 percent in terms of revenue, from 2020 to 2027. The high demand for dental restorations, an increase in the geriatric population and road accidents, and the wide product range are expected to propel market growth over the forecast period. In addition, technological advancements in dental materials are also expected to increase adoption, thereby contributing to market growth.
Increasing Demands for Advanced Dental Sealants
The introduction of advanced dental sealants by market players are anticipated to dominate the market strategies adopted for growth. For instance, 3M introduced ‘Clinpro’ sealant which changes its color from pink to off-white upon exposure to light. This color change technology not only improves the accuracy of sealant placement but also aids in determining the amount to be placed. The user-friendliness of such technologies is expected to increase the usage and demand for thin plastic coatings among dentists.
Furthermore, the increasing influence of social media coupled with globalization has led to the convergence of concepts related to beauty, especially those concerning facial features. This has led to a rise in demand for dental cosmetic procedures such as tooth whitening, tooth bonding, and dental veneers, which is anticipated to support market growth. Furthermore, the rapidly aging population in countries such as Japan, the U.K., Germany, and the U.S. are anticipated to increase the requirement of dentures and related products.
North America- Highest Market Share
North America accounted for the highest market share in 2019 owing to favorable reimbursement framework, growing prevalence of oral diseases, and high demand for cosmetic dentistry in the country. In addition, the presence of major players in the region also contributed to market growth.
In Asia Pacific, the market is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast. The growth of the market in the region is attributed to growing awareness regarding oral health, increasing the aging population, and rising cases of tooth decay due to changing lifestyles.
