The substantial share held by the Americas in the dental anesthesia market can be attributed to several key factors, including a well-developed healthcare infrastructure, a rising number of dental procedures, and the presence of numerous market players in the region. A report published by PLOS in January 2022 sheds light on dental care procedures performed by oral health teams (OHTs) in Brazil. These procedures encompass root planning, supragingival scaling, coronal polishing (98.1%), permanent tooth extraction (98.6%), and composite filling (99.0%). Additionally, a noteworthy percentage of OHTs in Brazil undertake more intricate tasks, such as biopsies (12.9%), impression for prostheses (15.1%), monitoring patients undergoing a biopsy (30.9%), and prostheses installation (13.6%).
Childhood tooth decay emerges as a prevalent chronic ailment, with untreated cavities leading to pain, infections, and complications in eating, speaking, and learning. An analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in January 2022 reveals that children with poor oral health tend to miss more school and achieve lower grades than their counterparts. Shockingly, an estimated 34 million school hours are lost annually due to unplanned emergency dental care. Furthermore, untreated dental disease results in over USD 45 billion in lost productivity in the United States each year.
The use of sedation in dental procedures adds a layer of complexity to care, underscoring the crucial role played by anesthesia professionals, such as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), who prioritize patient safety, monitoring, and vigilance. The market is witnessing growth driven by an upsurge in product launches, mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships. Notably, in November 2021, Zimbis, a division of Cubex LLC (US), announced a partnership with Southern Anesthesia & Surgical, Inc. (SAS) (US), a distributor of anesthesia and surgical supplies to dental anesthesiologists, oral surgeons, and periodontists. This collaboration aims to support Zimbis' mission to provide tailored solutions and workflows to clients, addressing their specific medication and supply requirements. Additionally, this partnership introduced an order integration with SAS, streamlining the complex process for oral surgeons and other dental specialists in ordering and restocking inventory.
The forecast for the Americas dental anesthesia market anticipates a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.02% from 2021 to 2027. This outlook reflects the region's continued prominence in the dental anesthesia landscape, driven by factors ranging from advanced healthcare infrastructure to ongoing innovations and strategic collaborations within the market.
