Dental Impression Material Global Market Report 2024

The dental impression material market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.71 billion in 2023 to $0.78 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in dental disorders, an increasing geriatric population, growing interest in cosmetic dentistry, increased awareness about oral health, and the growth of dental tourism.

The dental impression material market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. In the forecast period, growth can be attributed to the rise in the prevalence of periodontal disorders, growing medical tourism, increasing disposable incomes, heightened focus on aesthetic dentistry, and the expansion of dental service organizations (DSOs). Major trends during this period include the adoption of intraoral scanners, integration with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, development of advanced materials including eco-friendly and biocompatible options, high-precision materials, utilization of cloud-based platforms, and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in dental practices.

The rise in dental disorders is anticipated to drive the expansion of the dental impression material market. Dental disorders encompass various conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. Factors contributing to the prevalence of dental disorders include aging populations, stress, inadequate oral hygiene, socioeconomic factors, and dietary habits. Dental impression materials play a crucial role in diagnosing, treating, and managing different dental conditions by providing precise representations of oral structures and aiding in the creation of customized restorations or appliances tailored to individual patient needs. For example, in March 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that oral diseases impact nearly 3.5 billion people globally, with three-quarters of affected individuals residing in middle-income countries. Additionally, about 2 billion people suffer from permanent tooth decay, while 514 million children experience decay in their primary teeth. Hence, the increasing prevalence of dental disorders is a driving force behind the growth of the dental impression material market.

Leading companies in the dental impression material market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression material, to maintain their market presence. Vinyl polysiloxane (VPS), also known as addition silicone, is an elastomeric impression material widely used in dentistry for its excellent dimensional stability, accuracy, and ease of use in capturing dental impressions for crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations. For instance, in June 2022, Osstem Implant, a South Korea-based medical device company, introduced HySil Plus, a hydrophilic impression material designed for precise impression-taking. This innovative product features a rapid intra-oral setting, enabling efficient and quick impression procedures. Its high hydrophilicity ensures accurate outcomes even in moist environments, such as those affected by saliva or blood, thereby improving impression quality.

In May 2024, KCC Corporation, a South Korea-based chemical company, acquired Momentive Performance Materials Group in an undisclosed deal. This acquisition is aimed at bolstering KCC's presence in the global silicones and specialty materials market by fully integrating Momentive's advanced capabilities and customer base. Momentive Performance Materials Group is a US-based manufacturer specializing in silicone elastomers for dental impressions.

Dental impression materials are substances that dentists use to create accurate replicas or molds of a patient's teeth and oral tissues. These impressions are crucial for various dental procedures, including making crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. Dental impression materials are chosen for their specific characteristics such as flowability, accuracy, stability, and biocompatibility, ensuring precise reproduction of the patient's dental anatomy.

The primary types of materials in the dental impression material market include alginate, silicone, polyether, and other types of materials. Alginate is a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides primarily derived from the cell walls of brown algae. These materials find applications in orthodontics, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, and are used by various end-users such as dental hospitals and clinics, dental laboratories, and other dental professionals.
