Key Highlights:

• The total global dental 3D printing market will grow from an estimated $4B in 2022 to just over $9.7B by 2031. Currently, dental printing accounts for around 30 percent of the total additive manufacturing market when accounting for the value of printing by laboratories and production centers. The analyst estimates that in 2022 the global additive manufacturing market generated about $13.5B in total.
• Competitive pressure in the dental 3D printing market is catalyzing a revitalization of technical development for 3D printing. These dynamics are seen in many examples, from seemingly small printer features that can further reduce costs or improve user friendliness, to entirely new solutions that can capture share based on entirely new concepts from a customer base that soon will become savvy end users of printing.
• The dental industry is in the process of meting out whether traditional players in 3D printing will succeed as independent solution developers or if ultimately the incumbent dental solution providers will take the development torch from here.
