The market encompasses the production and sale of dental restorative materials, lab-side equipment, and implant materials. Key dental procedures, such as the fabrication of crowns and dentures, rely heavily on this sector. Metal ceramics, including ceramics and metal-ceramic composites, are commonly used in dental restorations. Advancements in dental technologies, such as computer-aided design (CAD), dental lasers, and hydroxyapatite coatings, have significantly impacted the market. Bone morphogenic proteins, used in implant procedures for bone regeneration, have also contributed to growth. Dental laboratories generate revenue through the production and delivery of dental restorations and implants. Chair time, healing, and imaging techniques are essential factors in the production process. Implant materials, including titanium and zirconia, are crucial components in the manufacturing of dental implants. The market is driven by the increasing demand for dental procedures and the continuous advancements in dental technologies. Dental lasers, for instance, offer advantages such as reduced chair time and improved precision. Overall, the market is a vital component of the dental industry, providing essential services and products for dental professionals and patients alike.
The increasing prevalence of dental diseases and related risk factors is driving growth in the market. Globally, the prevalence of several dental diseases, such as periodontal diseases, dental caries, and oral cancer, is increasing. Despite efforts to reduce the cases of dental caries, its prevalence is increasing. The prevalence of oral cancer is also increasing in many countries. As we age, the incidence of these dental disorders increases significantly. The prevalence of dental diseases is increasing due to the growth in risk factors such as diabetes, poor oral hygiene, stress, and tobacco and alcohol use.
There is a growing demand for services due to an increase in the incidence of dental disorders. It plays an important role in providing functional and aesthetic solutions to dental disorders, by producing tooth restorations and prosthetics suited to individual patients' needs. They utilize advanced technologies, materials, and techniques to fabricate dental products that restore oral health, enhance the quality of life, and improve patients' oral health. Thus, the increasing prevalence of dental diseases and related risk factors is one of the major drivers that is expected to drive the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The growing number of recent developments is a primary trend in the market. The market is witnessing several recent developments globally. These developments are helping companies expand their product portfolios, increase their market presence, and acquire new technologies. Ultradent Products launched an exceptional range of accessories for the VALO Grand curing lamps in March 2022.
In order to provide better dental care for the patient, six new lenses have been incorporated into VALO Grand that give doctors more options for using their lamps. Thus, a growing number of recent developments is one of the emerging trends that is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of dental equipment is a major challenge in the market. The adoption of this technology by the end users, e.g. dental clinics and laboratories, has been limited due to higher costs for dental equipment. The yearly incomes of dental practitioners have been declining in countries like the United States over the last decade. In a growing number of small and isolated dentist practices, the use of refurbished equipment with increased costs is increasing. Because, compared to new dental instruments, refurbished devices offer significant cost savings. Several companies in the market offer dental equipment for rent, such as Sunrise Dental Equipment and Independent Dental. Like new dental equipment manufacturers, providers of refurbished dental equipment also provide additional benefits such as a warranty on the products and after-sales services. Many dental facilities are increasingly adopting technologically advanced, refurbished equipment.
However, these devices and equipment allow dental facilities to provide more accurate and better diagnoses and treatments to patients at a significantly lower cost when compared with brand-new dental equipment. This has a negative impact on market companies as they spend a significant amount of R&D expenses in launching technologically advanced products in the market, which could take them years before they break even on their investments. This trend is increasing the market share of refurbished dental systems and is significantly hampering the sales and growth of companies of new dental equipment during the forecast period. This could become a major challenge for the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
