The 335 page report tells how 69% of adults aged 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. By age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth. With the number of Americans over 55 growing by 60% in the next 20 years there is plenty of U.S. market opportunity.
According to the report, weaknesses in the global economy and sagging consumer confidence have led to an unprecedented slowdown in the dental market. Reduced income has kept many patients away from the dentist. People with steady incomes fear losing their jobs and are not spending even if they can afford to. Non vital procedures are being postponed.
The expanding use of dental implants by dental surgeons and general practitioners indicates a growth market as soon as consumer confidence is stabilized. Markets for dental implants at $3.4 billion in 2008 are anticipated to reach $8.1 billion by 2015, growing in response to demand for better teeth worldwide. The technology is achieving a maturity level that makes the implants last longer and work in a more reliable manner, stimulating demand from an aging population. This market is poised for rapid growth as soon as the global economy recovers. The technology is more mature, leading to implants that last longer.
