Market Overview

Global Dental Equipment Market size was valued at USD 7.34 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 7.94 Billion in 2024 to USD 14.91 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.2 % in the forecast period (2024-2032).

The Dental Equipment Market is defined as the business which deals with manufacturing, supplying, and selling devices and apparatus that are applied for dental treatment and care. Such a market ranges from various dental instruments to devices used for treatment and diagnostics by dental practitioners, including diagnostic devices, therapeutic apparatus, dental chairs, sterilizing equipment, dental imaging equipment, and dental lasers. All of these tools play an important role in the treatment processes of check-ups, surgery, orthodontic treatment, cosmetic treatments, and hygiene maintenance.

Dental equipment comprises a set of tools used to examine, manipulate, treat, and restore any oral disorders. Factors such as the increasing geriatric population that is suffering from oral diseases, evolving medical tourism concerning dental treatment, and the launch of multiple government initiatives for public oral health care are expected to drive industry expansion. Moreover, the introduction of advanced and efficient dental products by major companies is also fuelling market growth.

Companies like DENTSPLY Sirona, Planmeca Oy, and Danaher Corp., are bringing high advanced computer-aided imaging technology to the market, which professionals will use in preparing an accurate dental treatment course. However, the COVID 19 pandemic severely hit the entire dental and oral hygiene industry. During the pandemic, routine dental care was unavailable because most dental practices had to shut down as they were categorized as elective procedures. The economic and social challenges arising due to care restrictions, practice closures, and shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) also threaten the continuous operation and long-term survival of many dental practices, as well as the need to invest in new types of PPE and technology.

While many practices and clinics around the world re-opened in 2021, the market recovered soon, as there were numerous concerns about the availability of dental services and ensuring the safety of dentists and dental teams. According to a review article published by The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, COVID-19 is expected to be a watershed moment in the field of dentistry. While the industry can expect positive change in the safe delivery of dental care, a rise in the cost of availing care is inevitable. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, oral diseases affect 3.9 billion people worldwide, with untreated tooth decay (dental caries) affecting more than half of the global population, at 44%, making it the most common of all the 291 conditions included in the Global Burden of Disease Study.

The most common dental treatments carried out on these visits include dental fillings, bonding, root canals, dental crowns, dental bridges, periodontal treatments, and oral & maxillofacial procedures. These illustrate the potential dental procedures carried out worldwide at present. Other dental conditions such as periodontal disease, oral cancers, and environmental injuries that cause oro-dental trauma will also help further the growth of the overall market.

High intake of tobacco and alcohol, bad diet, and high sugar consumption are the causes for dental caries, the most common type of chronic disease globally. In addition, a high geriatric population with demand for dental care is also seen on the increase. According to the World Population Prospects, by 2050, 1 in 6 people in the world will be over the age of 65 globally, up from 1 in 11 in 2019, providing a population pool of about 1.5 billion people above the age of 65 years by 2050.

Market Drivers

Growing Awareness of Oral Health

• There is increased awareness towards oral hygiene and preventive care that significantly drives demand for dental equipment. As a result of raising awareness about maintaining good oral health, the incidence of regular check-ups and dental treatments has witnessed an increase in the past years. Public campaigns on health education and media also bring to attention long-term advantages such as detection of oral diseases in the initial stages, enhanced overall health condition, and minimized costs of the treatment. This increased awareness motivates people to visit professional dental clinics for check-ups, cleaning, and screenings, which create a demand for sophisticated dental equipment such as diagnostic tools, imaging systems, and sterilization devices. Moreover, government and non-profit health initiatives are also important in promoting preventive dental care. Free or low-cost dental check-ups are also being provided in many areas where people cannot afford to pay for the services. As patients look to take preventive measures, dental professionals are investing in advanced equipment for better diagnosis and treatment of a patient, which adds more growth toward the market. This is more so in both developed and emerging economies, where access to dental services is expanding.

Market Opportunities

Tele-dentistry and Remote Monitoring

• Tele-dentistry has transformed dental care and there is a now need for appropriate specialized equipment. This form of dental care now offers remote consulting, diagnostics, and monitoring all while allowing people to access medical services without an actual visit in the clinic setup. It does offer much especially to people that stay in poor rural or low service areas whereby one cannot obtain professional dental access. Thus, the need for tele-dentistry software that enables virtual appointments and secures communication between patients and dental professionals is increasing. Besides, diagnostic tools like intraoral cameras, digital radiographs, and sensors are very important in the process of making accurate remote diagnoses so that practitioners can evaluate the condition from afar, whether it is a cavity or gum disease. Virtual treatment options, such as online follow-up care and orthodontic monitoring, also complement the continuous treatment of dental issues. As the tele-dentistry trend becomes more prevalent, it makes treatments more accessible for patients while maintaining their quality through dental technology. Such a trend would not only widen the scope of dental services but also increase demand for integrated equipment that is simple to use while supporting virtual consultations and remote management of treatment.

Market Restraining Factors

Impact of Economic Uncertainty on Demand for Elective Dental Procedures and Equipment

• The uncertain economic climate and recessions would mean that most patients opt to focus on fundamental and critical care needs instead of elective treatments. This reduces demand for dental equipment, especially for cosmetic and high-end treatments. Elective treatments in dental surgery, like teeth whitening, veneers, orthodontics, and implants, are typically considered less urgent and thus often put off or avoided during the time when discretionary incomes are restrained. Consequently, practices may see fewer revenues from the procedures and can therefore not, or do not want to invest in expensive equipment for these kinds of treatments such as CAD/CAM systems, 3D imaging, and laser treatments. Patients may want to get low-cost dental care to avoid these additional costs, making them delay the investment in sophisticated technologies. This would be a challenging trend for the manufacturers of dental equipment as their demand for high-end products could decline during periods of economic downturn. In addition, economic crisis could lead to a reduction in healthcare budgets which may make it difficult for private practices and even public healthcare systems to afford modern dental equipment.

Segmentation Analysis
