Clear Aligners Market Report 2025

The clear aligners market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.64 billion in 2024 to $3.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a high prevalence of malocclusions, growing demand for dental services in emerging markets, and favorable government initiatives.

The clear aligners market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing dental tourism and technological advancement. Major trends in the forecast period include the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve dental service, replace traditional wax molds with digital impressions, investment in dental 3d printing, and consider acquisition, mergers, and collaboration.

The increasing prevalence of dental malocclusion worldwide is a significant factor driving the growth of the clear aligners market. Malocclusion is a medical condition characterized by misaligned teeth and/or incorrect relationships between the upper and lower dental arches. The incidence of malocclusion is notably high, with variations observed across different geographic regions and age groups. It ranks among the most common dental issues, alongside dental caries, gingival disease, and dental fluorosis. For example, in March 2023, the World Health Organization, a Sweden-based intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2022, approximately 3.5 billion people globally experienced oral diseases, with 75% of those in middle-income countries. Caries impacted around 2 billion adults and 514 million children. This highlights the increasing adoption of clear aligners for the straightening and alignment of misaligned teeth, thereby contributing to market growth.

An anticipated surge in the geriatric population is poised to drive the clear aligners market's advancement in the foreseeable future. The geriatric demographic, comprising individuals aged 65 and older, presents a growing market for clear aligners owing to their potential to enhance oral health, aesthetics, functionality, and comfort. Notably, a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) published in October 2022 forecasts a significant demographic shift, with an estimated one in six individuals reaching the age of 60 or older by 2030 worldwide. The projected global population of individuals aged 60 and above is set to reach 2.1 billion by 2050, alongside a notable increase of 426 million individuals aged 80 or older during the same period. This demographic trend underpins the surging demand for clear aligners within the aging population segment.

Key players in the Clear Aligners market are focusing on developing advanced technological solutions, such as 3D-printable models, to improve treatment accuracy and speed up the production process. 3D-printable models are digital designs that can be created and modified with software and then produced using 3D printing technology. These models enable precise, customized manufacturing of physical items, like dental aligners, by layering materials according to the digital design. For example, in July 2024, Align Technology, a US-based medical devices company, introduced the iTero Design Suite, which provides doctors with an intuitive tool to streamline the design process for 3D printing models, bite splints, and restorations within their practices. The iTero Design Suite enhances the Align Digital Platform, offering an innovative range of customer-focused technologies that facilitate seamless end-to-end workflows for dental professionals. This latest software innovation aims to help doctors improve practice efficiency and enhance patient experiences by reducing treatment time through an intuitive design process for in-office 3D printing.

Key players in the clear aligners market are actively innovating their product offerings to meet the surging demand for clear aligner treatments and enhance the comfort and durability of aligner systems.
