Root Canal Global Market Report 2024

The root canal market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.1 billion in 2023 to $1.17 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing aging population, growing awareness of oral health, improvements in dental care infrastructure, the prevalence of dental caries and infections, changing lifestyles and diet patterns, and a patient preference for tooth preservation.

The root canal market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.4 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as global dental health initiatives, the integration of minimally invasive approaches in endodontics, the expansion of dental tourism, a focus on dental health education, and increasing collaboration in dental research. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in instrumentation technologies, the integration of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for more precise diagnostics, the rise of minimally invasive endodontics, the application of laser technology in endodontics for enhanced precision, and the integration of 3D printing in endodontics for customized solutions.

The increasing prevalence of dental disorders is expected to drive the growth of the root canal market. Dental disorders encompass various conditions or diseases affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and related oral structures, including issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and malocclusion. Root canal treatment, a dental procedure that involves replacing the damaged or infected part inside a tooth with a special filling, is becoming more prevalent. For example, in August 2023, according to the 2022-23 Annual Report published by the National Health Service in the UK, there were 32.5 million cases of dental disorder treatments administered in 2022-23, reflecting a significant increase of 23.2% compared to the 26.4 million treatments provided in 2021-22. Therefore, the growing prevalence of dental disorders is a key driver for the growth of the root canal market.

Rising disposable income is also expected to contribute to the growth of the root canal market. Disposable income, representing the money households have available for spending and saving after deducting direct taxes, plays a crucial role in the demand for root canal procedures. Individuals with higher disposable income are more likely to afford and prioritize dental treatments, including comprehensive dental care such as root canal therapy. For instance, in September 2023, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a US-based government agency, disposable personal income (DPI), which is personal income less personal current taxes, increased by $46.6 billion (0.2%) in 2022. Therefore, the rise in disposable income is driving the growth of the root canal market.

The high cost of root canal treatment is anticipated to hinder the growth of the root canal market during the forecast period. Root canal procedures can be expensive, potentially limiting access to treatment for some patients. For example, according to Fab Dental, a US-based dental services provider, the average cost can range from $800-$1000 for anterior teeth, $900-$1200 for bicuspids, and $1000-$1500 for molars. The elevated cost of root canal treatment may discourage patients from seeking the procedure, leading to a decrease in demand for root canal products. Therefore, the high cost of treatment serves as a restraint on the root canal market.

Major companies operating in the root canal market are increasingly focusing on adopting advanced technologies such as broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics to gain a competitive edge. These technologies are employed in root canal treatment to flush debris and tissue from the entire root canal system, offering a more efficient and comfortable alternative to traditional root canal therapy. For instance, in October 2022, Sonendo Inc., a US-based dental technology company, introduced the next-gen GentleWave G4 system, a form of root canal therapy utilizing advanced fluid dynamics to clean the tooth's interior. The system employs powerful sound waves, advanced fluid movements, and CleanFlow technology to thoroughly disinfect hard-to-reach areas, leading to more effective cleaning and faster healing. It is utilized in root canal procedures for a minimally invasive approach that preserves tooth structure and encourages swift recovery. The GentleWave G4 features a user-friendly interface that guides practitioners through each step, providing helpful audio cues to enhance procedure awareness.

In January 2022, Sonendo Inc., a US-based dental technology company, completed the acquisition of FluidFile Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is in line with Sonendo's goal to revolutionize the approach to root canal treatments. The acquisition is expected to bolster Sonendo's robust intellectual property position, enhancing its existing patent portfolio with the addition of FluidFile's patents. FluidFile Ltd., based in Israel, specializes in endodontics and is actively involved in developing various alternatives for root canal treatments. The company is recognized for its expertise in creating a device designed to clean the root canal without the need for instrumentation.

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove the inflamed or infected pulp from the interior of a tooth. The pulp is a soft tissue containing nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels that contribute to the tooth's growth. This treatment aims to extract bacteria from the infected area, prevent further infection, and preserve the natural tooth.

The main types of root canals include nonsurgical root canals, secondary root canals, apicoectomy, pulpotomy, and pulpectomy. Nonsurgical root canals, also known as root canal therapy or endodontic treatment, are minimally invasive dental procedures performed to save a damaged or infected tooth. Various types of drugs, including anesthetics, painkillers, and antibiotics, are involved in the process. The procedure employs a variety of instruments, such as scalers, apex locators, motors, handpieces, lasers, and machine-assisted obturation systems. These tools are utilized by different end-users, including hospitals, dental clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
