Global Dental Consumables and Dental Instruments Market

Market Scope:

The global Dental Consumables and Dental Instruments market is projected to grow significantly, registering a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period (2024 – 2032).

Dental consumables refer to a category of materials utilized by dentists for various dental procedures, encompassing preventive, restorative, diagnostic, and emergency treatments addressing dental health issues in patients. The application of dental consumables is integral to nearly all dental procedures, including significant surgical interventions. The production of dental consumables related to surgeries involves a diverse range of materials, including ceramics, compressed golds, glass ionomers, and adhesives, among others. These materials are employed in surgical repairs, particularly in the reconstruction of the jawbone, ensuring integration and providing stability to artificial teeth. Dental equipment comprises a set of tools employed for the examination, manipulation, treatment, and restoration of oral disorders. Factors driving the growth of the dental consumables industry include the increasing geriatric population with oral health issues, the growing trend of medical tourism for dental treatments, and the implementation of various government initiatives aimed at enhancing public oral healthcare.
Market Overview:
Driver: The increase in number of patients of dental caries and following surge in tooth repair procedures is predicted to foster the market growth.

The global burden of various dental diseases, such as dental cavities, edentulism, and periodontal diseases, has witnessed exponential growth over the past decade. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), almost 69% of adults aged 35 to 44 lose at least one permanent tooth annually, primarily due to factors like decay, gum disease, or trauma.

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, affects individuals across all age groups, and the prevalence of missing and decaying teeth (DMT) has been on the rise worldwide in recent years. The Global Burden of Disease Study (2019) reported that 3.5 billion people globally suffer from oral illnesses, with 520 million children experiencing primary tooth decay and 2 billion people having caries in their permanent teeth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, 64.9% of adults aged 18 and above underwent a dental examination or cleaning procedure. Furthermore, data from the American College of Prosthodontists reveals that over 36 million Americans are completely toothless, and nearly 120 million have at least one missing tooth. Projections indicate that in the next 15 years, there will likely be over 200 million patients with partial edentulism. The most common restorative procedure involves the fabrication of a single crown to replace a lost tooth, with more than 2.3 million implant-supported crowns being produced annually. Dental caries has become a prevalent issue in today's society, contributing significantly to the global increase in the incidence of missing and decaying teeth (DMT).

Opportunities: Increasing focus on emerging markets & surging person per capita income levels is expected to pave the way for market growth in the upcoming years.

The adoption rate of dental implants remains notably low in several developing countries and certain developed nations like the UK and Germany. Major economies such as China and India exhibit a limited penetration rate for dental implants, primarily due to the high costs associated with these procedures and a shortage of qualified dental professionals. Institut Straumann reports that only 15–20% of the 1.2 million active dentists worldwide perform implant procedures, with South Korea and Italy showcasing the highest penetration rate of dental implants. The untapped market potential in these regions presents considerable opportunities for businesses operating in this sector.

Moreover, favorable government policies and initiatives act as magnets for various industry stakeholders in these markets. For example, the reduction of customs duty for dental products from 16% to 8% in India has paved the way for international players. Additionally, in China, the government's deregulation and relaxation of norms for establishing private healthcare facilities have led to a surge in privately owned dental clinics. Such governmental initiatives in emerging economies will stimulate the adoption of advanced technologies, including CAD/CAM systems, and high-quality restoration products and materials. The introduction of advanced restoration products and digital systems, along with training workshops for dental practitioners and laboratory professionals, aimed at ensuring the efficient utilization of advanced equipment and restoration products, is anticipated to provide substantial growth opportunities for the market in these countries.
Covid Impact:
The pandemic exerted an adverse impact on implant dentistry, primarily attributable to mobility restrictions and disruptions in broader healthcare services caused by stringent lockdown measures across key regions. Additionally, the heightened hospitalization rates related to COVID-19, along with the associated infection risks, contributed to a decrease in patient visits for dental care. Furthermore, the economic downturn led to reduced discretionary spending, constraining individuals' capacity to undergo expensive dental procedures, thereby affecting the overall revenue of the industry.
Segmentation Analysis:
The equipment segment is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period.

The category encompasses dental lasers, dental radiology equipment, laboratory machines, hygiene maintenance, and other related tools. The expansion of this segment is anticipated due to enhanced availability of sophisticated equipment, coupled with the growing prevalence of dental implants and restorations.

The dental clinics segment is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period.

The dental clinics segment is poised to lead the market and exhibit continuous growth throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing number of dental hospitals and clinics globally, the swift adoption of advanced treatment technologies by both small and large dental clinics and hospitals, and the growing trend of dental tourism into emerging markets.
Regional Analysis:
The North America region is set to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

In North America, particularly in the United States, a substantial market share is anticipated, driven by various factors such as an increasing prevalence of dental diseases, a growing geriatric population, and a rising trend in adopting cosmetic dentistry for aesthetic purposes. The United States is a hub for numerous dental consumables manufacturers. As of November 2021, the American Dental Association reported that over 5 million seniors aged 65 to 74 in the United States experienced complete tooth loss, with nearly 3 million being edentulous. This highlights the common issue of tooth loss among the elderly, contributing to market growth.

Moreover, strategic initiatives by various market players are playing a significant role in propelling market expansion. For example, in November 2020, Planmeca USA, a leading manufacturer of dental imaging and CAD/CAM equipment, introduced two new CAD/CAM products – the Planmeca PlanMill 50 S 5-axis mill and the Planmeca PlanCAD Premium design software – aimed at creating dental prosthetics. These products, in conjunction with the Planmeca Emerald S intraoral scanner, form the Planmeca FIT Plus, offering clinicians a comprehensive solution for maximizing productivity in the digital dentistry workflow. Additionally, in December 2021, Envista Holdings Corporation received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for the Nobel Biocare N1 implant system.
