The Stainless Crowns Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.3 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Stainless steel crowns are prefabricated full metal crowns that are placed over primary (baby) teeth. They provide superior strength, durability and aesthetics compared to traditionally used white filling material. These crowns fully encase the tooth restoring its original shape and function.
Market key trends:
Growing prevalence of dental caries in children is a key factor propelling the market growth. According to FDI World Dental Federation, dental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting children. It estimates that around 60-90% of school-aged children have dental caries. Placement of stainless steel crowns is one of the preferred restorative techniques for treatment of dental caries in primary teeth. Another major trend is the increasing availability of prefabricated aesthetic crowns. Manufacturers are focusing on developing crowns resembling natural tooth anatomy and color to provide superior aesthetics for young children.
The global stainless crowns market has been witnessing rising demand for advanced dental care solutions and cosmetic dental treatments. Stainless steel crowns are increasingly gaining preference over traditional crowns due to benefits such as high strength, durability and affordability. Moreover, ongoing material innovation is helping manufacturers develop new grades of stainless steel that offer superior aesthetics and biocompatibility.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: Stainless steel crowns are extremely durable and can withstand years of chewing force. They also require less tooth removal during preparation compared to porcelain crowns.
Weaknesses: Stainless steel crowns are not as translucent or natural-looking as porcelain or ceramic crowns. The metal may be visible, especially when a patient smiles.
Opportunities: Rising healthcare expenditure in emerging nations is expected to boost the number of dental procedures. Additionally, increasing consumer awareness about advanced cosmetic dental solutions will drive the demand.
Threats: Development of alternative biomaterials for dental crowns may pose a threat to sales of stainless steel crowns. Strict regulatory norms pertaining to material approvals can also limit business expansion.
