VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - According to a new report by iData Research , value and discount implant companies, such as Implant Direct and BioHorizons will come to represent an increasing portion of the market due to their lower priced products and promotions. To this end, the total U.S. market for value and discount dental implants accounted for over $132 million in 2014.
"Overall growth in demand for dental implants will ultimately overpower any sort of pricing pressures and loss of market share to value and discount implant products", explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "Ultimately, the trend towards discount and value brands will lead to ASP declines in the overall dental implant market. However, growing unit sales will mitigate the effects of a declining ASP."
Other key findings from the iData Research report entitled U.S. Market for Dental Implants, Final Abutments and Computer Guided Surgery - 2015 :
- Growing Number of General Practitioners: With a growing number of general practitioners being trained to place dental implants, these dental professionals are found to be more cost-sensitive in terms of their implant buying decisions relative to dental implant specialists.
- Cost-sensitive Consumers: Consumers have grown to be more cost-sensitive and instead are opting for more inexpensive products. This has translated into a shift towards value and discount implant brands, as well as in imitation and generic abutments.
- Greater Consumer Awareness: The demand for better aesthetics is driving implant placement rates, the development of improved and more expensive implants, abutments and prosthetics. As dental general practitioners become more aware of the benefits of implants, in terms of their ease of placement and maintenance, they are more likely to recommend them to their patients.
