Dental Chair Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The dental chair market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.42% from US$595.84 million in 2021 to US$921.317 million in 2028.

A dental chair is a carefully crafted medical tool used to support a patient's body while they undergo a dental procedure. The electrically operated chair has a retractable back that may be adjusted to the dentist's needs during a procedure, as well as a water line, micromotor, and pressurized air. The rising prevalence rate of oral diseases such as oral cancer and tooth decay is expected to aid the dental chair market growth. Moreover, the aging population coupled with product launches and technological advancements are further contemplated to augment the dental chair market size.

Multiple Associated Advantages of Dental Chair

The numerous benefits of the dental chair make them a necessary component in dental procedures which enables patient comfort thereby propelling the dental chair market. The patients at the dental clinic spend almost complete time on the dental chair to get the dental procedures done. It is equipped with an armchair that makes it easier to work on the upper body and a multi-position articulating head that makes it easier to move about overall when combined with a pedal and the main keyboards.

Increasing Dental Disorders

There are various dental disorders such as caries of permanent teeth, caries of deciduous teeth, edentulism, and other oral conditions. The increasing prevalence of these oral diseases is contemplated to boost the dental chair market.

Growing Prevalence of Oral Cancer

The growing prevalence of oral cancer worldwide indicates the need for dental treatment thereby propelling the dental chair market. For instance, the IARC Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) estimated that there were 377,713 new cases and 177,757 fatal cases of lip and oral cavity cancer worldwide in 2020. Estimated incident cases of lip and oral cavity cancer (for both sexes) were the 16th most prevalent cancer globally and when oropharyngeal cancer cases were included, the ranking rose to 13th place as per the WHO. Moreover, men have a greater global incidence rate (13.1 per 100 000) than women (5 per 100 000), which is more than 2.5 times higher and men have mortality rates that are more than twice as high as women.

Aging Population

The loss of teeth is frequently considered an inevitable part of ageing. When fewer than nine teeth are present in the mouth, including none at all, this condition is referred to as severe tooth loss, also known as edentulism. According to the Global Health Status Report 2019 by WHO, the projected global average prevalence of edentulism for adults over 60 is substantially greater, at 22.7%, meaning that nearly one in four people over 60 are toothless.

Opportunities in the Market

The growth factors in the dental chair market mentioned above provide a significant opportunity to enter the market. Apart from that, the rising awareness among people about the importance of oral health and consistent efforts by the organization further indicates the expansion opportunity for the dental chair market. For instance, every year on March 20, World Oral Health Day is commemorated to raise awareness of oral health issues and the value of maintaining good oral hygiene. Additionally, the CDC offers funds, direction, and technical assistance to state and territorial health agencies to monitor oral disease across populations and to carry out and assess oral health programs which are further expected to drive the dental chair market and provide an opportunity for new entrants.

North America is supposed to grow significantly

The North American region is anticipated to hold a significant share of the dental chair market during the forecasted period. Various factors attributed to such a share are growing oral diseases, changing eating habits, and awareness among citizens. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, there are an estimated 11,580 new cases of oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer and approximately 54,540 new instances of these cancers in the US for 2023. Moreover, about 1 in 6 children is affected by tooth cavities in the US as per the CDC data. Additionally, the presence of major market players such as Midmark Corporation and Sirona further boosts the dental chair market in the region.
