Dental CAD/CAM Market Report 2025

The dental CAD/CAM market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.18 billion in 2024 to $2.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in digital dentistry, increase in aging population, shift towards digital impressions, patient demand for aesthetics, efficiency and precision in dental work.

The dental CAD/CAM market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of prosthodontics and implantology, rising adoption of digital dentures, emergence of teledentistry, growing dental tourism, focus on minimally invasive dentistry. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on milling technology, customization for patient-specific treatments, digital impression technology advancements, materials diversity, tele-dentistry integration.

The anticipated growth in the dental CAD/CAM market is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of dental diseases. Dental diseases, characterized by infections in the supporting tissues of teeth, have spurred the adoption of CAD/CAM dentistry, which utilizes digital scans to eliminate the traditional use of impression materials and trays. This advancement not only enhances patient comfort by avoiding the discomfort associated with traditional impressions but also accelerates the process of acquiring tooth images. For instance, data from the World Health Organization in November 2022 indicated that approximately 2 billion individuals globally are affected by dental caries in permanent teeth, with around 514 million children experiencing caries in primary teeth. Additionally, a report from the ADA Health Policy Institute in March 2021 highlighted a significant increase in teeth clenching, grinding, chipped teeth, cracked teeth, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction symptoms among surveyed dentists. Consequently, the rising prevalence of dental diseases is a key factor driving the growth of the dental CAD/CAM market.

The increasing adoption of digital dentistry practices is set to significantly influence the growth trajectory of the dental CAD/CAM market. Digital dentistry practices encompass the integration of advanced digital technologies and tools across various dental care procedures. Dental CAD/CAM technology facilitates precise digital impressions, design, and fabrication of dental restorations, reducing the dependency on traditional manual approaches. As per a forecast by Royal Dental Clinics in February 2023, digital dentistry technologies are projected to be utilized by over 95% of dentists in the United States, underscoring the growing adoption of digital dentistry practices and its consequent impact on propelling the dental CAD/CAM market forward.

Technological innovations are a prominent trend gaining momentum in the dental CAD/CAM market, with major companies actively embracing new technologies to maintain and enhance their positions. For instance, in August 2022, exocad GmbH, a Germany-based digital dentistry technology company, introduced the DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka software technology. This software allows users to efficiently reuse customized tooth settings across various indications throughout the patient case journey, providing greater efficiency. Whether it's a mock-up model, a clip-on smile, a temporary restoration, or the finished work, the same setup and shape can be applied, showcasing the versatility of the technology.

Major players in the dental CAD/CAM market are dedicated to developing innovative products, such as digital dental software modules, to expand their customer bases and drive revenue growth. Digital dental software modules refer to distinct components or units of software tailored for use in digital dentistry. For example, in February 2023, ZimVie, a US-based medical instrument manufacturing company, launched its RealGuide CAD and Full Suite modules, enhancing its digital dentistry platform. The CAD module focuses on restorative design and manufacturing, offering detailed and sophisticated solutions for implant and tooth restoration. The Full Suite integrates seamlessly with ZimVie's existing Plan, App, and Guide modules, streamlining restorative digital workflows by providing comprehensive solutions within a single software environment.

In September 2023, Straumann Holding AG, a dental solutions company based in Switzerland, acquired AlliedStar Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Straumann Group’s portfolio of intraoral scanners in China, broadening market access and integrating digital solutions to better cater to price-sensitive customer segments. AlliedStar Inc. is a China-based company specializing in digital dentistry, focusing on healthcare dental digital equipment and software.

Dental computer-assisted design (CAD)/CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) refers to software that empowers dentists to efficiently and, at times, exceptionally accurately complete complex restorations. This technology utilizes scanning software and 3D printing to digitally create, modify, and manufacture dental objects.

The primary types of dental CAD/CAM systems include in-lab systems and in-office systems. In-lab systems are integral to modern and forward-thinking dental practices, incorporating essential components such as milling machines, dental printers, scanners, and software. These components are employed by dental clinics, dental laboratories, and dental milling centers to facilitate the digital rendering and fabrication of dental restorations.
