Inter-Provincial Alliance for Dental Implants will be launched this month
At present, the rules specify that the centralized procurement will be carried out according to the implant materials, specifically, the four level pure titanium implant product system and titanium alloy implant product system.
On December 23, 2022, according to the official website of Sichuan Health Security administration ，the centralized procurement rules of oral implant system (also known as “dental implant”), the Document of Centralized Procurement of Oral Implant System by Inter-Provincial Alliance was officially released. According to the document, the centralized procurement program of implant is starting in Chengdu on January 11, 2023.
In terms of purchase quantity, the fourth-grade pure titanium implant is the main variety of dental implant Centralized Procurement. Specifically, the first year’s purchase demand of grade 4 pure titanium implant product system is 2,499,56 sets, and the first year’s intended purchase volume is 2,253,818 sets. The first year’s purchase demand for titanium implant product system is 375,087 sets, and the first year’s intended purchase volume is 339,335 sets.
However, there may be a certain gap between this data and the annual demand for dental implants in China in recent years. According to Ittime, the number of dental implants in China is about 3.12 million in 2019 and 3.62 million in 2020.
After being included in medical insurance and centralized purchase
it is conducive to improving the penetration rate of domestic dental implant industry
Data show that in 2020, the market scale of dental implant services in China reached 30.25 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 22.97% from 24.6 billion yuan in 2019. The scale of dental implant demand is also growing, and the market scale of dental implant in China is 3.15 billion yuan in 2020. In the domestic implant market, domestic imported brands account for 90% of the market size, while domestic brands account for 10%. According to the data of the NMPA, there have been 18 enterprises and 19 types of domestic dental implant products registered.
It is reported that in the purchase of implant teeth to be launched this month, from the perspective of implant brands, Osstem, Dentium and Straumann are the top three manufacturers in terms of purchase demand. The first -year purchase demand of medical institutions for grade 4 pure titanium implants from the three manufacturers mentioned above reached 604,455, 497,017 and 31,098, accounting for more than 50% of the material group. Nobel is followed by the first year of purchase demand of more than 100,000.
Osstem and Dentium belong to the Korean implant system, while Stromann and Nobel belong to the European and American implant system. Among domestic brands, Wego Jericom, Bioconcept, Trausim, Dental Master, and Bhzbiotech have many purchase demands for grade 4 pure titanium implants. The first year’s purchase demands are as follows: 51,367, 50,489, 42,935, 21,352, 20,254.
It can be seen that in this centralized purchase of dental implants, imported products account for a large proportion, especially those from Europe and the United States, which also reflects the attraction of a larger market range for manufacturers.
In the future, as dental implants are successively included in medical insurance and centralized purchase, consumable cost adjustment and medical price regulation are promoted simultaneously, and the industry penetration rate is expected to increase rapidly, which will promote the development of domestic implants.
