Dental Bonding Agent Market Report Scope

The market for dental bonding agents is driven by the rising dental treatment costs among the developed classes, the rapid rise in the elderly population, and improvements in dental surgery aftercare facilities. Dental bonding procedures are included in cosmetic dentistry and cosmetic dental procedures were closed due to the pandemic; therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the dental bonding agent market. Dental clinics were shut down in several nations including the U.S., U.K., Germany, Canada, France, China, India, etc. due to the imposition of lockdowns.

The dental industry was at a standstill because of COVID-19, according to data from the American Dental Association's Health Policy Institute (HPI), as dental practices were only permitted for emergency cases in the early stages of the pandemic. The American Dental Association (ADA) advised the public to put off elective dental operations in March 2020. Oral examinations, annual cleanings, cosmetic procedures, and orthodontic treatments without pain medication were among the procedures that were required to be delayed, according to the ADA. 

The growing geriatric population, road accidents, and the increased demand for dental restorations are all expected to increase the demand for the dental bonding agent market. Additionally, it is expected that supportive government measures to enhance oral health outcomes will raise the cost and accessibility of dental bonds. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched a program referred to as the School Sealant Program, which aims to deliver fissure and pit sealants to millions of students, particularly those enrolled in rural and underfunded schools.

The growing demand for dental restoration and increased advancements in dental materials in terms of technology is expected to drive their demand over the forecast period. Additionally, according to the FDI World Dental Federation, dental caries is one of the most common oral disorders worldwide, and it consumes close to 10% of the healthcare budget in most developing countries such as India. As a result, due to the high frequency of dental caries, the demand for dental bonding agents increased which fueled the dental bonding agent market.
