Dental Equipment Market Dynamics:

The dental equipment market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various reasons such as growing prevalence of dental infections such as tooth abscess, gingivitis, and tooth carriers and other periodontal diseases, increasing geriatric population suffering from dental disorders, and introduction of multiple government initiatives for public oral health care is anticipated to bolster the market for dental equipment during the forecast period.

For instance, according to data published by World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, periodontal diseases was estimated to affect around 14% of the total US adult population in the year 2020-2021, representing more than one billion cases. The main causes of periodontal disease are poor oral hygiene and tobacco use. The poor oral hygiene can be cured by creating awareness about good oral health and by encouraging population to get regular dental check-ups. According to American Lung Association, State of Tobacco Control 2022, a 2021 study found that menthol cigarettes were responsible for 1.5 million new smokers among African Americans in 2021. The study concluded that from 2019 to 2021, disposable e-cigarette use skyrocketed by more than 23 times among high school e-cigarette users (from 2.4% to 55.8%) and more than 14 times among middle school e-cigarette users (from 3% to 43.8%). Moreover, according to National Youth Tobacco Survey 2020, it was estimated that in 2019-2020 more than 23.6% of high school students in the U.S. use at least one tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. As per the same source, smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. killing over 480,000 people per year. Furthermore, smoking can also lead to gum disease. People who smoke are more likely to produce bacterial plaque, which leads to gum disease. The gums are affected because smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, so the infected gums don't heal. Smoking causes people to have more dental plaque and causes gum disease to get worse more quickly than in non-smokers. As the number of tobacco users are increasing in US, it may increase the prevalence of dental disorders, thereby thriving the market of dental equipment in the region.

Additionally, according to American Dental Association (ADA) 2021, a survey was conducted in the United States in 2020 to estimate the prevalence of dental disease. According to the survey, in the year 2020, 71% of an increase in prevalence of teeth grinding and clenching was reported; 63% for chipped teeth; 63% for cracked teeth; and 62% for temporomandibular joint disorder symptoms, which includes headaches and jaw pain was reported. The survey also concluded that stress is one of the factor for causing many serious dental or oral disorders. The prevalence of dental ailments is increasing in the US which may increase the number of dental treatments and surgeries and thereby increasing the demand of dental equipment in the market.

Another factor responsible for market growth is advancements in products related to cosmetic dentistry such as intraoral cameras which are used to capture images of the oral cavity. Intraoral images assist patients in deciding what cosmetic dentistry treatments they should opt for to enhance their aesthetic appearance. One such procedure in cosmetic dentistry is cosmetic tooth lightening which is one of the most preferred in-office cosmetic dental procedures. The increasing awareness and demand of aesthetic appearance and the cosmetic dentistry will increase the demand of dental materials and equipment in the market. Thus, due to the increasing utilization of dental equipment in various dental related application, there will be a rising demand for dental equipment, in turn increasing the dental equipment market growth.

However, high cost of some equipment like of imaging or radiology systems, dearth of trained dental practitioners in underdeveloped or in developing countries and lack of access to medical reimbursement policies may be certain limiting factors of the dental equipment market growth.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had a drastic negative impact on the dental equipment market. The dental procedures involve close contact between the patient and doctor, increasing the risk of spreading the infection, this lead to decline in number of patient visits and elective dental procedures. Moreover, due to strict lockdown restrictions there were disruption in the supply chain leading to unavailability of raw materials halting the manufacturing process. This lead to increase in shortage of dental devices in the market hampering the overall market growth. However, with masses being vaccinated, and resumption of the cross border trade and supply chain the dental equipment market has picked up the momentum again and is expected to drive the market growth during the post pandemic scenario.

Dental Equipment Market Segment Analysis:

Dental Equipment Market by Usage Type (Therapeutic and Diagnostic), by Product Type (Dental Lasers, Dental Radiology Equipment [Intra-Oral and Extra-Oral], Dental Chairs, Dental Lightning Systems, Dental Consumables [Dental Biomaterials, Dental Implants, Crowns And Bridges, and Others], and Others), by Application Type (Orthodontic, Endodontic, Periodontics, and Prosthodontics), by End-User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics, and Others) and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the application type segment of the dental equipment market, the prosthodontics dental treatment is estimated to hold a higher share in the dental equipment market in the year 2021. This can be ascribed to the wide application circle that is associated with prosthodontics. The prosthodontics dentistry has a wide range of tools used for dental corrections and for dental implants. There is an increasing demand for dental prostheses across developing and developed nations owing to the rising number of geriatric people. According to WHO 2021, by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over and by 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. Moreover, WHO also confirmed the prevalence of dental disease is more in older or in children as compared to adults.

Additionally, as per the 2019 British Orthodontic Society survey, the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment in the United Kingdom remains high, the majority of adult patients (80%) are in the 26 to 55 age bracket and according to the same source it was concluded that the adult patients are most likely to be female (80%) and 20% of them are men.

As the prevalence of dental disorders in the geriatric patients are increasing, this will increase the prevalence of tooth caries, tooth loss, tooth decay, thereby increasing the demand of tooth replacements process i.e., prosthodontics, further increase the demand for dental equipment and materials in the market.

Moreover, the use of dental radiology equipment such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is also increasing in the area of prosthodontics. Dentists are using this technology for dental implant planning, visualization of abnormal teeth, evaluation of the jaws and face, cleft palate assessment, diagnosis of dental caries (cavities), endodontic (root canal) diagnosis, and diagnosis of dental trauma. The wide application of this technology is also bolstering the market demand of prosthodontics.

Thus, owing to the wide application, increase in demand of cosmetic dentistry, increase in prevalence of dental disorder in elderly people, and technological advancements in the area of prosthodontics, there will be an increase in the demand for prosthodontics, which in turn will drive the overall dental equipment market growth.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Dental Equipment Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to account for the largest share in the global dental equipment market. Increasing prevalence of dental diseases, wide development in technology in dental equipment, like lasers, intra-oral cameras, digital radiography, and CAD/CAM systems, and heightened consumer awareness regarding the dental care and importance of oral hygiene will increase the diagnosis and treatment which will drive the demand for dental equipment in the management of dental related problems. Thus, leading to a rise in the overall North America dental equipment market growth.

For instance, as per National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2017-2020 report, it was estimated that the prevalence for untreated caries in the U.S. adult population is higher. The prevalence in 2020 was estimated to be 21.3% of untreated caries, based on a weighted sample representative of 193.5 million U.S. adults. Caries was most prevalent in those with a family income to poverty ratio of less than 0.5 or 0.5-1.0, as well as men, those aged 30-39 and 40-49, those of other or non-Hispanic Black race or ethnicity, those with an educational attainment less than high school graduation, those who did not have health insurance, and those who were underweight or obese.

According to same source, it was estimated that untreated caries is present in more than 1 in 5 adults within the US population and is disproportionately distributed among those of lower socioeconomic status. The increased prevalence of tooth caries in the US is increasing the demand of dental equipment for the proper management and driving the market growth during the forecast period from 2022-2027.

Moreover, as per the CDC 2022 data, in 2019-2020, 6 in 10 US youth (63%) and 5 in 10 US adults (49%) consume a sugar-sweetened beverage in a single day. High sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is associated with the increased risk of dental caries and erosion of teeth. From the above data, it can be concluded that the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is higher, which may increase the prevalence of dental ailments like tooth caries, tooth decay and tooth loss, thereby increasing the demand of dental equipment in the market.

Another factor for tooth loss is accidents, on day to day basis, many accidents occur either on roads or in industries, workplace, or accidents due to natural calamities, sports-related injuries and other. According to American association of endodontists 2020, it was estimated that more than five million teeth are knocked out every year in children and adults due to some accidents.

Thus, all the above-mentioned factors will collectively contribute to the dental equipment market growth in the North America region.
