Summary
US demand for medical and dental adhesives and sealants will grow 8.4 percent annually through 2009 based in part on new product development and increasing acceptance of these materials in surgical and consumer settings. Best gains are expected for cyanoacrylate, polyethylene glycol and various plasma and protein types.
This study analyzes the $1 billion US medical and dental adhesive and sealant industry. It presents historical demand data for 1994, 1999 and 2004 and forecasts to 2009 and 2014 by product (e.g., acrylic, silicone, cyanoacrylate, polyethylene glycol, collagen, fibrin, albumin); by application (e.g., denture bonding, pit and fissure sealants, restorative adhesives, luting cements, orthodontic bonding agents); and by market (primary care, dentist offices, consumer).
The study also considers market environment variables, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 31 industry competitors including Baxter International, DENTSPLY International, Proctor & Gamble, 3M, King Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, Sybron Dental Specialties, and Heraeus.
