General Dental Devices And Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The general dental devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.4 billion in 2023 to $13.63 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the past years can be attributed to factors such as the increasing focus on oral healthcare, the aging population, advancements in dental education and training, and the rising demand for preventive and aesthetic dentistry. These factors collectively contributed to the expansion of the general dental devices and equipment market.

The general dental devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.57 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The expected growth in the upcoming years can be attributed to the integration of digital dentistry, the adoption of minimally invasive dentistry practices, a focus on patient-centered care, and the integration of telehealth services. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the increasing use of 3D printing in dentistry, the rise of teledentistry, the application of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, and the development of smart dental equipment.

Changing lifestyles characterized by unhealthy eating habits, such as the consumption of sugary beverages and snacks, along with smoking and inadequate oral hygiene, have led to an increased prevalence of dental issues. The growing demand for dental care is directly impacting companies in the dental devices and equipment sector. For example, according to the Australian Medical Association, Australians consume an estimated 2.4 billion liters of sugary beverages annually, contributing to the rising incidence of dental problems, which, in turn, drives the market for general dental devices and equipment.

The primary categories of general dental equipment include dental systems and components, dental implants, crowns, bridges, dental biomaterials, dental chairs, equipment, and other dental devices. Dental implants are prosthetic devices that provide a connection with the jawbone or skull, offering support for dental prostheses like crowns, bridges, dentures, and even facial prostheses. These general dental devices and equipment are instrumental in addressing orthodontic, endodontic, periodontal, and prosthodontic conditions. They find applications in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and dental laboratories.

The increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures is expected to be a significant driver of growth in the general dental devices and equipment market. Minimally invasive procedures involve medical and surgical techniques that are performed through small incisions or natural body openings rather than large surgical cuts. General dental devices and equipment play a crucial role in enabling minimally invasive procedures by providing dental practitioners with advanced tools for diagnosis, treatment planning, and precise intervention. For example, in 2021, there was a 19.3% increase in procedures performed by plastic surgeons worldwide, with more than 12.8 million surgical and 17.5 million non-surgical procedures carried out. This trend reflects the increasing preference for minimally invasive techniques, which, in turn, drives the growth of the general dental devices and equipment market.

Unequal access to oral care in developing countries presents a significant challenge to the general dental devices and equipment market. While the number of dental graduates is on the rise, there is still an inadequate number of dentists to meet the healthcare needs of the population. For example, India produces approximately 20,000 new dental graduates each year, a number insufficient to address the healthcare demands of patients. Similarly, Brazil exhibits a disparity in the distribution of dentists, with a higher concentration in urban areas compared to rural regions, resulting in a lack of qualified dental practitioners to serve the dental care needs of the rural population. The limited access to dentists and their services in developing countries acts as a hindrance to the market's growth.

Dental practices are advancing with the development of specialized technologies like 3D printers and scanners tailored for dental applications. 3D printing technology enables the creation of dental products such as 3D printed braces, dental crowns, and implants, allowing dental professionals to design and produce these items with the aid of computer-aided design. The advent of modern and next-generation techniques, such as 3D printing, represents a significant advancement in dental care. It involves the construction of intricate three-dimensional structures by depositing thin layers of raw materials in a sequential manner. For instance, startups like ArchForm utilize 3D printing technology to design and fabricate teeth aligners. This innovation in technology is expected to reduce the cost of dental treatments, making them more affordable for individuals across different socioeconomic backgrounds, thus stimulating the growth of the general dental devices and equipment market.

Leading companies in the general dental devices and equipment market are increasingly focusing on the introduction of next-generation intraoral scanners to enhance their competitive position. Intraoral scanners are advanced dental devices utilized for capturing highly detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient's oral cavity, providing insights into teeth and the surrounding structures. For example, in November 2022, Ivoclar Vivadent Inc., a Canadian dental product manufacturer, unveiled the VivaScan intraoral scanner. This compact, lightweight, and ergonomically designed standalone scanner seamlessly integrates into dental practices. Offering plug-and-play simplicity, it operates as a portable system, incorporating touch-free options, high-speed scanning capabilities, and an integrated HD camera for efficient case documentation and photography.

The general dental devices and equipment market is subject to regulatory oversight by government agencies like the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), and others. In the United States, dental devices and equipment are classified as either Class I or Class II devices. They are regulated by the USFDA, while diagnostic laboratory tests are subject to regulation under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), which is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Complying with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), all manufacturing companies are required to submit a 510(k) application for market approval.
