Dental Handpieces Market Report 2024

The dental handpieces market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2023 to $1.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth during the historical period stemmed from the high prevalence of dental health issues, increasing incidence of dental diseases, growing interest in cosmetic dentistry, rising demand for root canal treatments, and expanding popularity of cosmetic and aesthetic dental procedures.

The dental handpieces market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.47 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by increasing demand for advanced dental care services, growing trends in cosmetic dentistry, rising awareness of oral hygiene, expanding demand for dental handpieces, and heightened awareness and adoption of good oral hygiene practices. Key trends anticipated in this period include technological advancements with more product launches in dental handpieces, the integration of 3D printed dental drills, progress in dental technology with advanced technologies, and increasing adoption of cosmetic dentistry procedures.

The growth of the dental handpieces market is expected to be driven by increasing incidences of dental diseases. Factors contributing to this rise include poor oral hygiene, high sugar diets, an aging population, tobacco use, genetic predispositions, chronic conditions such as diabetes, limited access to dental care, lack of oral health awareness and education, and economic constraints. Dental handpieces play a crucial role in treating dental diseases by precisely removing decay, shaping teeth for restorations, cleaning periodontal pockets, and improving treatment outcomes. For example, in the 2022-23 period, the National Health Service (NHS) Dentistry reported a 23.2% increase in dental treatments provided, reflecting the growing demand due to dental disease prevalence.

Leading dental handpiece manufacturers are innovating with contra-angle electric handpieces to enhance precision, reduce practitioner fatigue, and enhance patient comfort during procedures. These instruments feature an angular design that facilitates access to difficult-to-reach areas in the mouth. For instance, Bien-Air Medical Technologies launched the Nova in February 2022, a lightweight contra-angle electric handpiece designed for improved ergonomics and reliability. Its small head and slim handle enhance visibility for dentists and provide easier access to posterior areas. The handpiece incorporates stainless-steel construction, an advanced spray system, and heat-arresting technology to ensure durability, user comfort, and patient safety.
