Dental Implants And Prosthetics Contract Manufacturing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Dental Implants, Dental Prosthetics), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

Market Size & Trends

The global dental implants and prosthetics contract manufacturing market size was estimated at USD 1.30 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% from 2024 to 2030. Growing trend of outsourcing, increasing use of dental implants and prosthetics due to the rising prevalence of various dental ailments, and complexity of manufacturing these devices are driving the market. Access to advanced manufacturing technologies, cost-effectiveness, and increasing number of CMOs are some major factors positively affecting market growth.

High market growth is majorly due to increasing pressure on OEMs to reduce costs and enhance the timeline for taking a product to market. In addition, macroeconomic factors such as the increasing edentulism population globally and the rising number of minimally invasive procedures are boosting demand for dental products, including dental implants and prosthetics.

Moreover, medical device firms are determined to reduce costs as profit margins are decreasing. To limit fixed costs, companies are implementing shift work. Small & medium-sized companies lack skilled labor & technical resources to complete projects. Contract manufacturing enables addressing these issues. OEMs are looking for partners with deep capabilities and the ability to fill technology gaps in their portfolios & enhance time to market for innovations. Hence, they prefer contract manufacturers with the scale & sophistication required to support the increasingly complex global supply chains.

Furthermore, digital dentistry has played a crucial role in advancing the field of dental implants and prosthetics, contributing to their growth in several ways. Digital dentistry has introduced several latest technologies, such as computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM), 3D printing technology, guided implant surgery, which has supported innovation across dental implants and prosthetics, thus boosting market growth. For instance, in November 2022, ZimVie Inc. a company operating in the dental and spine sectors, announced the launch of TSX Implant in the U.S. TSX Implants have been specifically crafted for immediate extraction and loading protocols, offering enhanced placement predictability for dental peri-implant health, long-term osseointegration, crestal bone maintenance, and prosthetic stability.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

Market growth stage is stable, and pace of the market growth is accelerating. The dental implants and prosthetics contract manufacturing market is characterized by evolving technologies, regulatory considerations, materials innovation, and increasing globalization and outsourcing of manufacturing processes to leverage cost advantages and specialized capabilities.

Degree of Innovation: Prompt adoption of novel technologies, such as 3D printing, digital dentistry, and CAD/CAM, within a manufacturing process. Integration of smart technologies for enhanced patient monitoring and functionality in prosthetics are a few of the innovations made across dental industry, thus boosting demand for dental implants and prosthetics. Frequent innovation in biocompatible materials to enhance performance and longevity of dental prosthetics and implants is another major market characteristic witnessed in the dental products industry.

Impact of Regulations: Stringent quality protocols and regulatory norms govern the dental implants and prosthetics market, and contract manufacturers must follow regulatory guidelines to ensure efficacy and safety of their products.

Mergers and acquisition activities in dental implants and prosthetics contract manufacturing market are increasing and growing at a stable rate during the analysis timeframe. A significant number of companies are focusing on acquisition strategies to expand its service portfolios and regional scope.

The market is characterized by the presence of a large number of contract manufacturers catering to specific segments such as dental crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures. Specialization in specific technologies and materials has led to a fragmented market scenario.

The rising trend of outsourcing and globalization of development and manufacturing processes to leverage specialized capabilities and cost advantages is another considerable market characteristic supporting the industry growth. Contract developers and manufacturers can operate globally to capitalize on regional expertise and serve a broader market base. Moreover, emerging economies such as China and India are anticipated to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period owing to the cost-effectiveness of services in emerging countries.     

End-use Insights

Dentistry companies held the largest market revenue share in 2023. Outsourcing allows dentistry companies to leverage specialized state-of-the-art technologies and expertise provided by contract manufacturers. This enables OEMs to ensure precision-engineered and high-quality production of dental products. Such partnerships assist OEMs in focusing on their core competencies, such as product innovation and patient care, while leaving complexities of manufacturing to specialists. Furthermore, growing number of dental companies launching new products is another considerable factor supporting demand for contract manufacturing services.  For instance, in March 2022, Implant Direct launched the Simply Iconic implant system. This conical hex implant has substantially influenced dental landscape, particularly for periodontists, implantologists, highly skilled general dentists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Medical device companies are expected to register fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Outsourcing offers cost efficiencies, as contract developers streamline the process of manufacturing and economies of scale. Collaboration with external partners helps medical device companies navigate complexities of production and stay abreast of technological innovations, thus simultaneously meeting the rising demand for personalized and advanced dental implants in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.

Product Insights

Dental prosthetics led the market and held 60.7% of the global revenue in 2023. This high percentage can be attributed to robust pipeline of dental prosthetics, persuaded by several factors, such as innovation across prosthetic materials, adoption of latest novel technologies for developing and manufacturing advanced prosthetics, and growing demand for enhanced oral health solutions. Furthermore, rising emphasis on patient-centered care has boosted demand for customized or personalized prosthetics to match individual patient preferences and needs, simultaneously providing better comfort, aesthetics, and functionalities.

Digital dentistry is one of the major factors supporting the development of novel prosthetics. For instance, in October 2022, SprintRay Inc., a globally recognized leader in 3D printing solutions and digital dentistry, announced the launch of OnX Tough, a novel ceramic hybrid resin crafted for dental prosthetics 3D printing. The dental prosthetics segment has been further classified into bridges & crowns, dentures, and abutments. The bridges & crowns segment is anticipated to dominate the market.

The dental implants segment is anticipated to witness a stable CAGR during the analysis timeframe. Increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry and increased awareness about oral hygiene resulted in inflated demand for dental implant solutions. Dental implants require specialized manufacturing processing in molding and shaping based on patients’ needs. Products involved are generally made-to-order, creating the need for intelligent distribution and implementation services to be outsourced for dental devices. Dental implant contract manufacturing services are anticipated to witness robust demand during the analysis period as these devices are required in smaller volumes and are complex to manufacture.

Furthermore, increasing awareness and growing adoption of dental implants in developing economies is another factor supporting market expansion. As per Straumann Group, in South Korea, dental reimbursement for senior citizens began in 2014, leading to more than 70% of dentists specializing in implant dentistry by 2022, elucidating the elevated penetration rate. Dental implants have been further classified into titanium implants and zirconium implants.
