Description

This seventh edition of LaingBuisson’s Dentistry UK Market Report provides a comprehensive analysis of the UK ‘high street’ dentistry market, valued at £12.16 billion in 2023/24, following 9.2% year-on-year growth. The report covers both NHS and private provision, with private-pay dentistry now at £8.4 billion of the total market, accounting for the highest recorded share of market value since LaingBuisson started recording in 2007. By comparison, the NHS-funded market stands at £3.78 billion.

The report examines a sector increasingly shaped by consolidation and private equity-backed activity, including the mergers of Rodericks with Dental Partners and Portman with Dentex, as well as Bridgepoint’s acquisition of a majority stake in Mydentist.

It also explores wider structural challenges in the sector, from workforce factors to regional inequalities in access to services and also examines a key shift in dentist-patient dynamics as practice owners, usually dentists, balance clinical duties with business demands.

The report provides a comprehensive outlook for the sector and offers growth projections for each of the core market segments, supporting investors, operators, and policymakers in navigating both its growth opportunities and operational pressures.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
