Research and Markets: Asia-Pacific Markets for Dental Prosthetics and CAD/CAM Devices 2010 (South Korea, Japan and Australia)

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/461883/asiapacific_marke) has announced the addition of the "Asia-Pacific Markets for Dental Prosthetics and CAD/CAM Devices 2010 (South Korea, Japan and Australia)" report to their offering.

“Asia-Pacific Markets for Dental Prosthetics and CAD/CAM Devices 2010 (South Korea, Japan and Australia)”

In 2008, the Asia-Pacific market for dental prosthetics (crowns, bridges and dentures) was valued at over US$6 billion. The Asia-Pacific market includes Australia, Japan and South Korea. The aging population and greater demand for aesthetic dentistry are driving forces in the prosthetics market. The global economic crisis, which began in 2008, has led to a slowdown in the overall market; however, the market is expected to grow over the forecast period, reaching US$7.2 billion by 2015.

This market includes:

• Crowns and bridges
• Dentures
• Dental alloys and porcelain powder
• Computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) systems

The Japanese market for dental prosthetics was the largest in terms of both unit volume and market value, as it accounted for approximately 80% of the total Asia-Pacific market.

All-ceramic prosthetic devices made using CAD/CAM technology are quickly gaining market share at the expense of conventionally fabricated devices. Although the economic recession has constrained patients discretionary incomes and limited the crowns and bridges market, the market for all-ceramic restorations is expected to quickly re-establish growth following the economic recovery.

The Asia-Pacific dental prosthetics market includes many local players such as: Addens, Ceracys, Dentaim and Renis in South Korea; GC in Japan; and Stoneglass in Australia. This report provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of market revenues by device type, market forecasts through 2015, unit sales, average selling prices, market drivers and limiters and a detailed competitive analysis, including manufacturer market shares and product portfolios.
