SOUTH KOREAN DENTAL IMPLANT MARKET TRENDS
Policy changes by South Korea’s National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) have played a significant role in driving growth in the country’s dental implant market. Beginning in 2014, the NHIS expanded implant coverage to individuals aged 75 and older, with subsequent reductions in the minimum eligible age to 70 in 2015 and 65 in 2016. Coverage for dentures was similarly expanded in 2016. Furthermore, copayment rates were lowered from 50% to 30% for dentures in November 2017 and for implants in July 2018. These progressive policy changes have increased accessibility and affordability of implant treatments, encouraging higher adoption rates, particularly among the elderly population, and are expected to continue supporting market growth amid ongoing population aging.

- Osstem Implant was the dominant competitor in the South Korean dental implant and final abutment market in 2024. Operating in the discount implant segment, the company offers four main systems: TS System®, SS System®, US System® and MS System®. Its leadership position is reinforced by continuous R&D investment, a broad product portfolio and a strong focus on innovation. The recent expansion of National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) coverage is expected to drive market consolidation, favoring Osstem due to its financial strength and extensive sales capabilities. Additionally, the company’s global expansion efforts, supported by its Advanced Dental Implant Research & Education Center (AIC) programs and aggressive marketing, are poised to strengthen its position further. With these combined advantages, Osstem is expected to continue increasing its market share both domestically and internationally.
- Dentium was the second-leading competitor in the South Korean dental implant and final abutment market in 2024. Founded in June 2000, Dentium collaborates with clinicians, research institutes and universities to develop innovative implant systems. Its product portfolio includes surgical and restorative components, fixtures, and regenerative materials. The company’s implant lines feature the SuperLine®, Implantium®, SimpleLine II®, SlimLine®, Overdenture System® and the recently launched NR Line®, designed for improved handling in narrow posterior ridges. Dentium competes closely with Neobiotech, the third-leading company in the market. Its competitiveness is sustained by a strong focus on R&D and product innovation. Dentium’s dedicated research center partners with government bodies, academic institutions and hospitals to advance implant technology. This commitment to innovation and collaboration continues to support Dentium’s strong market position.
- Neobiotech was the third-leading competitor in the South Korean dental implant and final abutment markets in 2024, closely following Dentium in both segments. Founded in 2000, the company offers a range of implant systems and biomaterial products. In the discount implant segment, Neobiotech’s offerings include the CMI EB®, CMI IT®, CMI IS® and the CMI IS II and III Active® systems. The recent expansion of NHIS coverage is expected to strengthen Neobiotech’s market position by easing competitive pressures. As a result, the company is projected to gain market share over the forecast period. However, it will continue to face strong competition for the second-leading position in the South Korean implant market.
