Dental Adhesives Market

Dental Adhesives Market Outlook (2023-2033)

The global dental adhesives market is valued at US$ 2.86 billion in 2023. Worldwide demand for dental adhesives is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7.5% and reach a market valuation of US$ 5.89 billion by 2033-end.

Based on product, dental adhesives are segmented into pit & fissure sealants, denture adhesives, and restorative dental adhesives. Global demand for pit & fissure sealants and denture adhesives are predicted to rise at CAGRs of 8% and 7% respectively, during the next 10 years.

Due to their complicated morphology, the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth's pits and fissures are more likely to develop caries than smooth surfaces, making oral care more difficult and resulting in higher plaque build-up. Compared to the enamel on a smooth surface, the enamel with pits and cracks cannot benefit from the same level of fluoride protection.

Pit and fissure sealants act as a physical barrier that prevents the build-up of bacteria and food particles, halting the development of caries and preventing its onset. They are put on the biting surfaces of the teeth, generally the molars and premolars, and resemble a plastic coating. Pit and fissure sealant demand is increasing as people are more aware of oral hygiene.

Due to improvements in bonding materials broadening the range of applications for which they can be used, the demand for denture adhesives is also predicted to increase rapidly throughout the projection period. For instance, universal adhesives can adhere to zirconia, porcelain, metals, and composites, and can be utilised for both direct and indirect restorations. These adhesives also work with resin-based dual-cure, light-cure, and self-cure systems, showing that their applications are more varied than those of 7th-generation adhesive systems.

The pressures or energy among atoms or molecules at a surface that hold two surfaces together are called dentistry adhesion (or bonding). Dentures can be replaced and can cover tissues around lost teeth. Dental crown adhesives, dental plate adhesives, dental bridge adhesives, and dental impression tray adhesives are some of the adhesives available in the market.

Over the projection period, it is anticipated that demand for dental products would increase due to rising dental restoration and cosmetic dentistry demand as well as scientific and technological advancements in dental materials.

• Dental caries is one of the most common oral disorders worldwide, according to the FDI World Dental Federation, and it consumes close to 10% of most developed countries’ healthcare budgets.

As a result, it is projected that the high frequency of dental caries will fuel the demand for preventive dentistry and drive the growth of the target market.

Why are Sales of Dental Adhesives Surging across the World?

“Rapid Developments in Adhesive Dentistry”

Resin-based dental materials, particularly direct adhesive restoration, are extensively employed in restorative operations due to their superior mechanical and aesthetically pleasing properties. In the development of minimally-invasive dental procedures, direct composite resin adhesive repair has supplanted amalgam fillings as the principal way of correcting dental faults.

Dentin that is caries-affected close to the living pulp has been advised to undergo conservation remineralization. Such advancements are boosting the growth of the dental adhesive market.

“Manufacturers Providing Advanced Dental Adhesive Glues”

Brackets for fixed appliances must be glued to teeth for therapy to be effective and efficient. And ultimately, this can be accomplished with high-quality glue that also does not have any negative effects on the patients.

Furthermore, the use of denture adhesives is encouraged, particularly in the senior population of patients, as xerostomia brought on by smoking and other medical conditions lowers salivary flow in the oral cavity. Therefore, the market for dental adhesives is increasing rapidly in both developed and developing countries due to cutting-edge & novel technologies such as 6th and 7th-generation bonding agents for restorative adhesives offered by leading manufacturers including 3M, and Vista Apex.

“Rising Prevalence of Dental Diseases Worldwide”

Demand for dental restorative supplies is increasing due to the rising dental operations brought on by rising junk food, cigarette, and tooth trauma consumption. Furthermore, rising dental carry rates are boosting sales of dental restorative supplies globally, encouraging the growth of the dental restorative supplies market.

• According to the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), about 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral disorders, with three out of every four of these individuals residing in middle-income nations. 514 million children worldwide suffer from primary tooth decay, while 2 billion adults are believed to have permanent tooth decay.

Additionally, it is anticipated that increasing gum disease cases and the associated treatments would open up new business opportunities for suppliers of dental restorative materials.

“Rising Cases of Malocclusion”

The majority of children are affected by malocclusion, which is the most prevalent early-stage dental disease worldwide. And over half of all adolescents and children globally are expected to have malocclusion of some kind.

Therefore, it is anticipated that during the next 10 years, sales of orthodontic dental supplies will increase significantly. The global orthodontic supplies market is likely to increase at a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period.

What Challenges are Present before Suppliers of Dental Adhesives?

“High Treatment Costs Not Affordable by Everyone”

One of the reasons affecting the demand for dental adhesives is the rising cost of dental care operations. Biocompatibility is the most important component of every dental material, but not all dental compounds are completely safe to use. The use of dental adhesives has also been linked to several adverse consequences.

The FDA has compiled a collection of case studies linking prolonged usage of zinc-containing denture adhesives to negative consequences such as numbness, nerve damage, or tingling sensations.

In addition to these, each nation has tight government laws regarding the usage of dental equipment and materials, which may limit the market's potential growth for dental adhesive materials.
