Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) Market Size, Trends and Growth Analysis by 2027

The global market for mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is projected to grow significantly, reaching approximately US$ 70,150.0 thousand by 2027, up from US$ 45,600.0 thousand in 2019. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2020 to 2027.

Several factors are contributing to the expansion of the MTA market, primarily the rising incidence of dental diseases and the overall growth of the dental sector. However, certain challenges related to endodontic and dental health may hinder the market's progress during the forecast period.

The dental industry is anticipated to experience robust growth in the coming years, driven by key elements such as an increase in dental visits, a growing number of practicing dentists, and rising national expenditures on dental care. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, approximately 84.9% of children aged 2-17 years, 64.0% of adults aged 18-64 years, and 65.6% of seniors aged 65 and older in the United States visited a dentist at least once annually. Similarly, in the UK, 58.2% of children and 56.1% of adults maintained regular dental consultations in 2017.

The increasing number of dentists is also a significant factor in the growth of the dental industry. The American Dental Association reported that in 2019, there were 200,419 dentists practicing in the United States, equating to 61.1 dentists per 100,000 people. In the Asia Pacific region, which accounts for a quarter of the global dentist population, countries like India, Japan, China, and the Philippines collectively hold around 80% of the region's dentists. Notably, India had the highest number of dentists globally in 2016, with approximately 197,734 registered practitioners. Therefore, the expanding dental industry is expected to significantly influence the growth of the MTA market throughout the forecast period.

The white MTA segment dominated the market in 2019 and is projected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Regarding application, the MTA market is segmented into retrograde filling, perforation repair, apexification, vital pulp therapy, and others.
