Abstract

In 2008, the combined European market for dental implants and final abutments increased by 6.8% over 2007. The European market includes Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K. In 2008 the three fastest growing dental implant markets were Benelux, Poland and the U.K. The dental implant market is segmented by procedure type, shape, surface treatment, connection type and application. Final abutments are segmented by fabrication type. Due to the economic crisis which began in 2008, the market will experience a sharp decline, reaching its lowest point in 2009 as illustrated below. The market is expected to recover from the global economic recession and return to strong growth by 2011, reaching a market value of over €1.3 billion by 2015.
