by Market Overview:
Dental sutures are wound closure materials used to join soft tissues such as the oral mucosa, gingiva and lips. They provide precise wound adaptation, wound compression and improve wound healing. Their advantages include flexibility, strength, smooth surface and tissue biocompatibility.
The dental suture market is estimated to be valued at US$ 188.73 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the dental suture market is the development of advanced sutures made from absorbable synthetic materials like polyglycolic acid (PGA), polydioxanone(PDS) and polyglactin 910 for enhanced strength retention and faster healing. These advanced sutures have mechanical properties better suited for oral surgical procedures like gingivoplasty, extraction socket closure, mucogingival surgeries compared to traditional non-absorbable materials like silk and stainless steel. Their absorption kinetics allow for minimal foreign body reaction and discomfort to patients.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Dental Suture provides effective wound closure and sealing during dental surgeries and procedures. It allows proper healing of wounds and prevents post-surgery complications.
Weakness: Strong knots can sometimes damage healing tissues when tightened excessively. Absorbable sutures may not provide adequate wound support during early stages of healing.
Opportunity: Rising number of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures worldwide presents an opportunity for market growth. Increasing public awareness about dental health also supports the demand.
Threats: Availability of alternative wound closure methods like tissue adhesives and staplers poses competition to dental sutures. Strict regulations for new product approval can delay market entry.
Key Takeaways
The Global Dental Suture Market Size is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period, due to increasing number of dental surgeries and road accidents worldwide necessitating trauma care.
Regional analysis: North America dominated the global market in 2023 and is expected to maintain its leading position during the forecast period driven by growing dental healthcare expenditure and availability of advanced treatment options in the region. Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit fastest growth owing to rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure and rising medical tourism in the region.
