Market Overview:
The global tongue depressors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for tongue depressors from hospitals, clinics, academic & research institutes, and other end-users. In addition, the growing awareness about oral health and hygiene is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A tongue depressor is a thin, flat piece of wood or plastic used to depress the tongue during examination of the mouth and throat.
Wooden Tongue Depressors:
Wooden tongue depressors are used to reduce the size of the swelling in the tissues of the mouth. It is a self-adhesive device that is placed on top of or inside a person's teeth. The device works by decreasing contact between your teeth and increases blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues, which helps it to shrink.
Metal Tongue Depressors:
Metal tongue depressors are used to stabilize the head and neck during surgery or dental procedures. Metal tongue depressors are also known as head caps, skull clamps, or metal plates. They have a wide range of applications in dentistry including oral surgery and periodontology. Metal Tongue Depressors Market is expected to grow at a lucrative rate due to increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries coupled with rising awareness about its usage among surgeons and patients across the globe.
Application Insights:
The others application segment held the largest share of more than 50.0% in 2017. The other applications include dental care clinics and hospitals, optical shops and optometrists offices, medical centers and pharmacies, diagnostic centers and imaging facilities, social service organizations (SOS), government health facilities (PHF) rural health units (RHU), primary healthcare settings (PHCs), secondary healthcare settings PHCs, homecare services for the elderly/disabled patients as well as out-patient departments at hospitals.
Hospitals are expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments over the forecast period owing to a rise in number of surgeries globally due to increase in population coupled with rising disposable income levels which has resulted in an increased demand for advanced healthcare services resulting into an increased number of surgeries being performed at any given time thereby increasing demand for tongue depressors used during these procedures thus driving this segment growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure and high adoption rate for advanced devices are some of the major factors responsible for its large share. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives to control smoking related diseases is also expected to drive regional growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2014, U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a device called Quick Fix Tongue depressor from Boston Scientific Corporation that helps reduce tongue protrusion during smoking cessation therapy sessions at clinics and hospitals.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income coupled with growing awareness about various health issues among smokers including oral complications such as dry mouth caused due to smoking which can be prevented by using these devices regularly after quitting cigarettes or other tobacco products like bidis/mosquitos etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for tongue depressors in the medical and dental sectors as a result of rising incidence of oral diseases and disorders.
- Growing popularity of disposable tongue depressors owing to their hygiene benefits over traditional wooden tongue depressors.
- Proliferation of private clinics and hospitals, which is expected to boost demand for tongue depressors in the near future.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using disposable tongue depressors among consumers across emerging markets such as India, China, and Brazil will fuel growth in this market during the forecast period.
