The Global Silicone Impression Materials Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, with an estimated value of $XXX million by 2028. The segmentation on the basis of type includes additional silicone (A-silicones) and condensation silicone (C-silicones).
Silicone impression materials are elastomeric polymers that have physical properties similar to natural rubber. They help provide a firm and accurate fit for dental prostheses, retain their shape even after they’ve been removed from an oral cavity, and resist saliva breakdown over time. Silicone impression materials also offer users greater comfort during the impression-taking process than other impression materials.
They are used in many different dental procedures, including crown and bridgework, prosthetic teeth replacement for either full or partial dentures, orthodontic treatment appliances to align the teeth into their proper positions before attaching fixed braces on them; they can also be referred to as temporary or working plates and dentures.
On the basis of Type, the global silicone impression materials market is segmented into Condensation Silicones, Additional Silicone (A-Silicones).
Condensation Silicone is another type of silicone impression material that works by setting with the addition of moisture. Condensation Silicones are known for their rapid setting capabilities, making them one of the best choices when speed is necessary. They have a very short working time and show high tear strength compared to other types. Condensation Silicones are used in the manufacturing of dental appliances such as retainers and mouth guards.
These are the materials that consist of a silicone base and an additional curing agent such as platinum or tin. The A-Silicones have high elongation, quick return to original form, good tear strength, and flexibility which makes them suitable for making deep cavity impressions with precision in both medical & Industrial applications among others. Among the different types of Additional Silicone (A-Silicones), Polysulfide is one such type that has better physical properties than other types.
On the basis of Application, the global silicone impression materials market is segmented into Medical, Industrial, Others.
Medical includes dental applications such as temporary crowns and bridges, dentures, orthodontic appliances, etc. Industrial includes food service equipment such as refrigerator gaskets and door seals in various industries, medical devices including intraocular lenses for cataract surgery; airway & respiratory therapy products like nasal cannulas, mask cushions; surgical gloves; adhesive bandages; athletic headwear; knee braces among others Consumer Products include footwear such as insoles, shoe lining, and uppers; baby care products such as bottles & nipples, breast pads/nursing aids among others.
Silicone impression materials are used for industrial applications in the metal component casting industry. Additional silicone silicones and condensation silicones are widely used to create molds of various shapes, sizes, and designs which can be further utilized for making real-life parts. These types of molding processes reduce time consumption as well as give rise to the production of high-quality parts. Condensation silicones are highly durable and can be used for making high-performance molds.
On the basis of Region, the global silicone impression materials market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa. In North America, the market status of silicone impression materials is now in a considerable growth phase. The region has been witnessing high demand from both developed and developing countries including Canada and Mexico among others. This trend can be attributed to the increasing number of people suffering from dental problems every year as well as technological advancements which led to the introduction of several new products. The silicone impression material segment has been growing rapidly due to increasing demand for technologically advanced and high-quality dental products across Europe that requires accurate impressions as well as, improved patient care. Silicone impression materials are gaining immense popularity in the Asia Pacific. The material has become popular due to the high-end features that make it a preferred option for dental care professionals over other conventional options available in the market. Silicone is considered one of the most biocompatible and flexible impression materials which offer better detail reproduction at lower costs, therefore making it an affordable choice among dentists across different countries in the Asia Pacific region. Silicone impression materials in the Middle East & Africa are expected to grow at a CAGR of over four percent during the forecast period.
There are several factors that contribute to the growth of this market. Some of them are as follows:
- Novel product development in silicone impression materials provides better patient experience and enhanced clinical outcomes.
- Increasing the use of silicones for manufacturing high-performance dental products such as root canal filling material, crown & bridge, denture, and temporary restoration materials.
- Growing demand from the dental implants market owing to their wide application in orthodontics, prosthetics, endodontics, etc.
- Increasing number of implant surgeries in emerging economies such as India & China is a key factor driving silicone impression material sales globally.
- Stringent regulations regarding E.P.A., L..D.C, and FSC have led to the reduction in mercury content by manufacturers across different regions of North America & Europe which have resulted in high growth opportunities for the silicone impression materials market during 2016–2026.
- End users are now developing innovative applications for silicone impression materials. The number of application areas for silicone impression material has increased globally which has driven their demand.
