The dental bonding agent market size is estimated to be USD 14,801.2 million in 2022 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.98% during the forecast period 2023-2033. Growing geriatric population, increasing preference, expanding health care infrastructure, supportive government initiatives, and rising middle-class per capita income are projected to drive the market growth in near future. Furthermore, rising demand for dental restoration and the increasing technological advancements in dental materials is expected to support the market growth. However, unavailability of dental work reimbursement regulations in many countries and the widespread lack of knowledge about the use of these medicines are predicted to limit market growth.

Rising demand for dental restoration and the increasing technological advancements in dental materials is projected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, dental caries is one of the most widespread oral diseases worldwide and accounts for close to 10% of the healthcare budget in the majority of developing nations, including India. The high prevalence of dental caries resulted in a rise in demand for dental bonding agents, which boosted the dental bonding agent market.

Supportive government initiatives are predicted to spur the market growth during the projected period. The government initiatives to improve oral health outcomes are anticipated to increase the price and availability of dental bonds. For instance, the School Sealant Program, administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, intends to provide fissure and pit sealants to millions of students, especially those enrolled in rural and underprivileged schools.

Segmentation

By Type

The market is categorized into total-etch and self-etch. In 2022, the self-etch segment accounted for the highest revenue share due to its simplicity of use and the availability of products with strong bonds to dentin, porcelain surfaces, and enamel. Additionally, the process is popular as several teeth can be bonded during a single dental visit. Bonding is performed with composite resin, a material that resembles tooth enamel. The total-etch segment is projected to exhibit the fastest CAGR over the projected period due to substantial investment by private entities and the introduction of new products by market participants in the dental bonding agent market. For instance, Parkell, Inc. announced that the new Brush&Bond MAX Bonding System would go on sale in February 2022.  It is a dental bonding agent of the most recent generation that emphasizes on  providing the best performance possible on tooth surfaces.

By End User

The market is categorized into dental clinics, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, and others. In the global market, the dental clinics segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to the fact that majority of dental patients choose to private practice dental clinics as there are specialists available. More than 80% of dental practices are run by owners. The number of independent practices is rising on a global scale. The cost-effectiveness, accessibility of experts, and usage of advanced equipment make it likely that this trend will continue in the years ahead. All across the world, the number of solo dental clinics is increasing. Independent dental clinics are anticipated to grow over the next few years as a result of increasing competition among healthcare providers and the demand for affordable treatments. Dental clinics are frequently found in healthcare-related settings including clinics, schools, and public buildings. They often have affiliations to universities and help to train aspiring dentists.

Regional Markets

In 2022, North America region accounted for the highest revenue in the dental bonding agent market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to favourable reimbursement structure and the accessibility of the product. For instance, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) both fund for dental sealants, making them more accessible and encouraging use of them and related procedures. The dental bonding agent market in Asia Pacific is predicted to grow fast over the course of the forecast period with a significant CAGR due to rapidly ageing population, increasing dental caries prevalence brought on by changing lifestyles, and growing awareness of oral health. The demand for “Flawless smiles” is anticipated to rise in the region due to rising social media usage and a rise in beauty consciousness.
