Market Drivers
The growing prevalence of dental disorders and rising dental tourism are key factors contributing to the Dental Suture Market Growth. Aging population, increasing incidence of dental caries and periodontal diseases have increased the number of tooth extractions and minor oral surgeries globally. Additionally, steady improvements in reimbursement policies for dental procedures in developing countries are further expected to propel market growth over the forecast period.
Some of the key challenges faced by the dental suture market are increasing cost of dental treatments, availability of alternatives for dental sutures and lack of awareness about oral healthcare in developing regions. As dental procedures require precision and expertise, the cost of different operations and materials used is relatively high. This makes dental treatments unaffordable for a large section of population globally. There are also alternative wound closure products like tissue adhesives, hemostats and staples available which provide similar functionality as sutures at lower costs. Further, inadequate public health infrastructure and lack of dental insurance in developing countries also limit access to routine dental checkups and treatments. This negatively impacts the growth of dental suture market.
