Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Allograft, Synthetic Bone Substitutes, Demineralized Bone Matrix, and Xenograft), By Form (Granules, Putty, and Others), By End-user (Solo Practices, DSO/ Group Practices, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global dental bone graft substitutes market size was valued at USD 289 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 307.8 million in 2024 to USD 530.6 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period.

A dental bone graft substitute is a substance, either natural or synthetic, used to replace or repair a damaged or missing bone tissue. These substitutes often consist of a mineralized bone matrix devoid of viable cells. They are designed to mimic the structure and function of a natural bone, allowing for the regeneration and healing of the bone tissue. These products are classified as allograft, synthetic bone substitutes, demineralized bone matrix, and xenograft.

The dental bone graft substitutes market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The rising incidence of periodontal diseases, dental implants, and dental fractures is driving the demand for bone grafting procedures and dental bone graft substitute products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 514 million children worldwide suffer from primary tooth decay, while 2 billion adults have permanent tooth decay.

Additionally, the introduction of new dental bone graft substitutes and rising awareness about the availability of advanced products are expected to drive the market growth. Furthermore, the growth in R&D investments can increase the launch of innovative products. Moreover, a rising number of collaborations and acquisitions in the market are expected to fuel the market growth.

The market experienced a decline in revenue in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as many dental clinics were closed or limited their operations to only the emergency cases. This resulted in a reduced demand for dental products. The implementation of global lockdowns and travel restrictions further compounded the challenges faced by the global market. However, in 2021, the market began to recover as the dental practices reopened, and there was a growth in the utilization of tele-dentistry and digital tools. In the same year, the rising adoption of implant surgeries and bone grafting procedures contributed to a significant market growth, which is expected to continue in the future.

Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market Trends

Use of 3D-Printed Synthetic Bone Graft to Emerge as Key Market Trend

3D-printed synthetic bone grafts are becoming increasingly popular in the dental bone graft substitutes market. These innovative grafts are designed to closely mimic the properties of the natural bone, allowing for better integration and long-term success in dental procedures. Technological advances, such as 3D printing enable the creation of highly customized bone grafts that can be tailored to fit the specific needs of each patient. The trend of using these bone grafts is expected to continue to grow as more research and advancements are made in this field. Additionally, the U.S. FDA approvals and an increasing number of procedures using the 3D-printed regenerative bone graft products are expected to positively impact the market. Hence, this is identified as a significant global dental bone graft substitutes market trend.

• For instance, in December 2022, Desktop Metal, Inc. received the U.S. FDA approval for its CMFlex 3D-printed regenerative bone graft product to be used in dental applications.

Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market Growth Factors

Introduction of Advanced Bone Graft Substitutes to Propel Market Growth

The rising prevalence of dental diseases has created a demand for innovative bone graft substitutes, such as synthetic bone grafts and allografts. Additionally, the increasing number of dental implants that use bone graft substitutes will boost the demand for these products. This has prompted market players to focus on developing advanced bone graft substitutes.

• For instance, in February 2024, Geistlich Pharma AG introduced the vallos granules, a demineralized allograft used for various indications, including dental procedures. Such developments are expected to fuel the demand for dental bone graft substitutes.

Additionally, a rising number of clinical trials and approvals from the regulatory bodies are expected to drive the new product launches and adoption of dental bone graft substitutes in different regions and applications during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2023, RevBio, Inc. received a USD 2 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance its dental adhesive bone scaffold product into clinical development. These factors are expected to drive the market growth in the future.

Acquisitions and Partnerships by Key Players to Fuel Market Growth

The bone graft substitutes market is witnessing significant growth due to a rising number of acquisitions and partnerships by key market players. These strategic activities enable them to expand their reach and enhance their product offerings. For instance, in June 2023, the U.K-based Biocomposites acquired Artoss, a German firm. Artoss’ portfolio includes bone graft substitutes used in various clinical applications, such as dentistry, orthopedics, spine, foot, and ankle. This acquisition enabled the company to strengthen its position in the dental bone graft substitutes space.

Moreover, growing partnerships between the healthcare systems and manufacturers are expected to fuel the market growth. For instance, in April 2019, Zimmer Biomet & RTI Surgical collaborated with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Foundation (AAIDF) to donate allograft implants to increase veterans’ access to dental care. These acquisitions and partnerships are expected to increase the product adoption and contribute to the global dental bone graft substitutes market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Clinical Limitations and Limited Reimbursement Can Hamper Market Growth

The dental bone graft substitutes market is witnessing various developments and product launches across the globe. However, there are certain limitations associated with the clinical evidence of their effectiveness and limited reimbursement for dental procedures. The market may face challenges due to potential side effects of these substitutes, such as adverse tissue reactions, inadequate bone formation, and lack of efficacy. In addition, concerns about disease transmission, immunogenicity, poor resorption rates, weak mechanical strength, and insufficient osteoinductive properties can restrict the growth of the market in the future. Furthermore, difficulties in analyzing the in-vivo and clinical trial results and implementation of stringent regulatory guidelines can limit the market growth.

Moreover, in several countries, dental bone graft substitutes are not covered by insurance or not reimbursed adequately. This may deter patients from undergoing these procedures due to the high out-of-pocket costs, thereby reducing the demand for these products.

Dental Bone Graft Substitutes Market Segmentation Analysis

By Product Type Analysis

Demineralized Bone Matrix Segment Dominated Market Owing to Advanced Product Launches

Based on product type, the market is segmented into allografts, synthetic bone graft substitutes, demineralized bone matrix, and xenograft.

In 2023, the demineralized bone matrix segment accounted for the majority share of the market. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for dental implants that require bone grafts to enhance the stability of the jaw bone and counter alveolar bone loss. The increasing prevalence of dental disorders has also contributed to the rise in the utilization of allografts. Furthermore, the launch of advanced products is expected to boost the growth of this segment in the future.

The synthetic bone graft substitutes segment is projected to experience a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by the benefits offered by these products, such as high biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, which promote direct bone growth. Synthetic substitutes are also preferred due to their widespread availability and cost-effectiveness, prompting a shift toward these substitutes in dental applications. Moreover, collaborations and acquisitions between the market players, such as the Halma acquisition of NovaBone in January 2020 are expected to drive the adoption of synthetic dental bone graft substitutes and fuel the segment’s growth.

By Form Analysis

Granules Segment Dominated Market Due to its High Usability
