LONDON, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Study
coverage
This Freedonia industry study, Medical & Dental Adhesives
& Sealants, presents historical demand data (2004, 2009 and
2014) plus forecasts (2019 and 2024) by product, application and
market. The study details key market environment factors, analyzes
company market share and profiles 25 US industry players.
Expansion of the market will be fostered by rising health
expenditures and rising focus on improving medical and dental
procedure outcomes. Advances in life expectancy and the rapid
growth in population segments aged 55 and above will lead to
increasing incidences of acute illness, a greater prevalence of
chronic diseases and disorders, and an increasing volume of patient
activity that will drive demand for adhesives and sealants.
Technical advancements in biotechnology further allow for sealants
that act in conjunction with standard wound closures to reduce
fluid and air leaks during and after surgery. This reduces recovery
time and readmission rates, which have become key healthcare
issues.
Acrylic polymers to remain most widely used types
According to Medical & Dental Adhesives & Sealants, a new
study from The Freedonia Group, acrylic polymers will remain the
most widely used medical and dental adhesives, representing almost
30 percent of demand in 2019. Acrylic will retain its status as the
leading polymer for dental and orthopedic applications due to its
relative low cost, durability, and formulation versatility. Acrylic
sealants play a major role in the federal government's agenda to
promote oral health, aligning with a stated objective to increase
the percentage of children and adolescents receiving dental
sealants on their permanent molars. After acrylic, the most
prevalent adhesives and sealants are based on polymers loaded with
high levels of natural fillers such as glass and cellulose, which
are widely used in dental adhesives and bone cements. Medical
adhesives based on cyanoacrylate will continue to penetrate both
internal and external medical applications based on the
commercialization of new grades with improved biocompatibility and
flexibility.
Pulmonary applications to be fastest growing medical
uses
Freedonia forecasts that cardiovascular and bone applications will
lead demand in the medical segment through 2019, accounting for
more than 50 percent of all use. However, adhesive and sealant
demand in pulmonary applications is forecast to grow at the fastest
rate of all medical and dental applications. This growth will be
driven by the recent regulatory approval of a product specifically
for use in lung surgery as well as the continued adoption of
protein-based hemostats in pulmonary surgery. While the incidence
of lung cancer is falling, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD)
remains the third leading cause of death in the US, behind cancer
and heart disease. Looking forward, European hospitals are
conducting clinical trials of nonsurgical procedures based on the
use of lung sealants to treat lung hyperinflation caused by COPD;
this will likely lead to the adoption of similar procedures in
the United States.
Restorative applications to fare well
Among dental applications, denture bonding agents, pit and fissure
sealants, and restorative adhesives will continue to account for
over 80 percent of demand through 2019. The most rapid growth is
expected for restorative dental applications, with rapid gains also
in smaller segments such as tissue bonding applications associated
with periodontal care. However; total demand growth in dental
applications will lag medical through 2019, limited by market
maturity in pit and fissure sealants and in dental bonding
agents.
