Global Market for Endodontic Supplies is Projected to Reach US$815 Million by 2020

Demand for Endodontic Treatments from Aging Patients Fuels Growth in the Endodontic Supplies Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Endodontic Supplies markets. Global market for Endodontic Supplies is projected to reach US$815 million by 2020, driven by increasing demand for endodontic treatment from the aging population, and growing emphasis on maintaining dental health for aesthetic and functional reasons among young adults. 

Endodontics, referring to the study of pathology and morphology of periradicular tissue as well as dental pulp in humans, is a medical field with a promising future. Aging population presents significant opportunities for volume growth in endodontic procedures. The need for endodontic treatments is strongest among patients aged between 35 and 55 years, as people in this age bracket often suffer from weak gingival tissues that cause acute sensitivity and tooth decay and necessitate root canal treatment.

Increasing emphasis on preventive dental care and greater focus on maintaining health of natural teeth are expected to spur growth in endodontics procedural volumes, thereby driving demand for various types of endodontic supplies. Development of innovative products, rising consumer disposable incomes in developing countries, increasing per capita spends on appearance enhancing products, and growing awareness over dental procedures such as root canals, are expected to drive market growth. Complex heterogeneity of endodontic patient population and the ensuing need to work with an array of challenging anatomical structures is spurring demand for advanced endodontic supplies. Material advances have significantly influenced the market, with obturation benefitting immensely from the advent of new materials. Gutta-percha remains the most widely used obturation material, while zinc oxide-eugenol and epoxy resin based cements are used as root canal sealers. Poised to witness strong demand are biomaterials, comprising bioactive glass, mineral trioxide aggregate, and bioaggregate.

As stated by the new market research report on Endodontic Supplies, the United States represents the largest market worldwide. Growth will be driven by recovering economic growth, aging baby boomer population, and pent-up demand for dental procedures. Developing regions such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America are expected to spearhead future growth, driven by low penetration of and untapped potential in dental services, expanding middle class population and rising awareness about dental care. Asia-Pacific is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the analysis period.
