Synex Healthcare Market Report Dental Implants 2023

Synex Consulting Ltd.


In 2022, the total market size of dental implants in Korea is estimated to be approximately ***USD (manufacturers/importers' initial selling prices) and ***USD (medical institutions' purchase prices).

Afterwards, it is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of ***% for the next five years and as a result, the market size is projected to be approximately ***USD (manufacturers/importers' initial selling prices) and ***USD (medical institutions' purchase prices). Unlike other medical devices, the market size based on medical institutions' purchase prices compared to the market size based on manufacturers/importers' intial selling prices appears to be decreasing even after the distribution of the products. This can be interpreted as a result of the inventory in warehouses of the manufacturers/importers and the inventory held by medical institutions before using them to patients.

Based on the purchase price of medical institutions in 2022, the market size is estimated to be approximately ***USD. About ***USD was paid from the National Health Insurance reimbursement and the remaining ***USD was paid by patients out-of-pocket (non-reimbursement). It is analyzed that the current reimbursement criteria played a part allowing up to 2 teeth only for partially edentulous patients over the age of 65. (See Chapter 5.4.1 for more details on reimbursement criteria).

The National Health Insurance reimbursement volume for dental implants in 2022 is approximately ***USD, an average annual growth of ***% compared to ***USD in 2018. This is because the reimbursement cases have increased following the coverage expansion policy (from those aged 70 above to those aged 65 above) effective from July 2018.

Dental implants are broadly divided into (1)dental implant fixation and (2)dental implant abutment. Although they are listed as separate products, the fixture and the abutment are used as one set.

For dental implant fixtures, the surface of implants are chemically treated for the purpose of promoting osseointegration and osteogenesis. They are classified in detail according to the coating method and among them, SLA-processed products had the highest amount of reimbursement claims and billings. In 2022, about ***USD (about ***units used) was claimed, which is the result of an average annual growth of ***% compared to the 2018 claims of about ***USD.

For dental implant abutments, they are classified according to the connection method and physical state. They are broadly divided into (1) integrated type and (2) detachable type depending on the method of connecting the abutment and abutment screw. In 2022, the reimbursement volume for detachable type is approximately ***USD (about ***units used), and for integrated type ***USD (about ***units used). The reimbursement volume for detachale type is more than ***. The main material for dental implants is titanium and no more new materials are developed after the introduction of zirconium and zirconia. Since the material is not a deciding factor in choosing a product, it is not discussed in detail.

The reimbursement volume by end-user type in 2022 out of the total ***USD is as follows: dental clinics approximately ***USD (***%), dental hospitals approximately ***USD (***%), and general hospitals approximately ***USD (***%). Among them, the average annual growth rate of hospitals from 2018 to 2022 rose sharply to ***%. The number of claims out of the total *** units is as follows: dental clinics ***, dental hospitals ***, and general hospitals ***.

As of January 2023, there are *** products of *** manufacturers/importers listed as reimbursement or non-reimbursement of the National Health Insurance. Major suppliers of the dental implant market include Osstem Implant, Dio Implant, Dentium, Straumann, Dentsply Sirona, Dentis, Shinhung, MegaGen Implant, NeoBiotech and ZimVie.

Among them, it is estimated that the combined market share of the top two suppliers exceeds more than ***% of the total market, and other manufacturers/importers account for the rest of the market. The market share of the major companies in the dental implant market is estimated as follows: Osstem Implant ***%, Dentium ***%, and Straumann ***%.

Dental implants were introduced to Korea in the 1980s and primarily formed a market mainly with imported products such as Straumann and Brennemac until the early 2000s. In 2014, the National Health Insurance System began to reimburse dental implants for those aged 75 above, and the market share of imported products with relatively uncompetitive prices started to decline gradually.
On the other hand, the market share of domestically manufactured products has increased relatively, and a market centered on domestic manufacturers such as Osstem Implant and Dentium has been formed. As such, the dental implant market has been growing thanks to the reimbursement coverage expansion policy of the National Health Insurance and this trend is expected to continue in the future. The dental implant market is expected to continue to grow at an average annual rate of ***% over the next five years, driven by the following factors: the aging population, increasing periodontal consultations, the prevalence of periodontal disease, and the reimbursement coverage expansion of dentures for the elderly. One of the natures of the dental implant market is that new designs or materials are no longer developed. If equipments like digital solutions are introduced in order to improve the convenience of procedures, they will drive demand for more dental implants.
