Dental Laboratories Market

Market Overview

The global Dental Laboratories Market size was valued at USD 30.61 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 45.84 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024-2030. Dental laboratories are specialized facilities where dental prostheses, restorations, and appliances are manufactured. These labs use various materials such as ceramics, metals, and polymers to create dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic devices. Dental lab employ advanced technologies, including Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and 3D printing, to create custom crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental appliances.

The collaboration between dental technicians and dentists ensures precise customization, considering each patient's unique oral anatomy and aesthetic preferences. Quality control measures are rigorously implemented throughout the production process, adhering to regulatory standards to guarantee the safety and efficacy of the final products.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The rise in periodontal diseases in the geriatric population worldwide plays a major role in the growth of the dental implants and surgeries. As per the recent report published by the National Library of Medicine in April 2023, 90% of population globally are affected by gingivitis which is the mildest form of periodontal disease which is causing due to dental plague, debris between gumline and accumulation of bacteria resulting in increase in role of dental laboratories.

Moreover, the cosmetic dentistry where people globally alter their facial shape by dental implantation, filling up of missing teeth and appearance of smile is boosting the growth of dental laboratories market. According to a report published by the National Institution of Health, in October 2022, around 91% of dentists globally stated that there is an increase in demand of cosmetic dentistry in the past few years.

This surge in the popularity of dental treatments is driven by the growing influence of social media and the pervasive desire for a Hollywood smile, boosting the demand for dental surgeries and implants for people seeking a picture-perfect smile in today's image-focused society.

However, high cost of dental laboratories supplies equipment and costly dental services/procedures are the major factors restraining the growth of dental laboratories market. On the other hand, the adoption of digital dentistry technologies, such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), which enables the precise development of 3D prototypes for complex dental products, is expected to create ample opportunities in the forecasted period. The use of CAD/CAM systems enhances efficiency and accuracy, and facilitates in the creation of highly customized dental prosthetics contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.

Market Segmentations and Scope of the Study

The dental laboratories market is segmented on the basis of equipment, product, material, and region. On the basis of equipment, the market is divided into dental radiology equipment, dental lasers, systems & parts, laboratory machines and hygiene maintenance device. On the basis of product, the market is divided into restorative, orthodontic, endodontic, implant and oral care. On the basis of material, the market is divided into Computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), metal and ceramic. Regional breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the dominant share of dental laboratories market at present and is expected to grow during the forecast period. This is due to the substantial funding from the U.S. and Canadian governments, specifically directed towards research and development initiatives and the enhancement of medical infrastructures in this region.

As per the latest report published by the Canadian Dental Association, in 2023, the Canadian government made a significant investment to foster the growth of the dental care sector, allocating USD 13 billion, with a specific provision of USD 4.4 billion dedicated to the implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

Also, the presence of key market players such as Formlabs 3M, and Henry Schein, who are continuously working toward the development of dental sector through numerous initiatives such as product launches is further boosting the growth of the market in this region.

For instance, in January 2022, Formlabs, the foremost 3D printing company, unveiled the Form 3+ and Form 3B+ printers. These new additions enable dental labs to accelerate their printing process by 20%-40%, particularly when producing prototypes for missing dental components.

On the other hand, the Asia Pacific is expected to show a steady rise in the dental laboratories market due to cost-effectiveness of dental services and the increasing popularity of dental tourism in the region. For instance, in May 2022, Thailand established itself as a major dental tourism destination, offering top-notch dental services at remarkably affordable prices.

The dental treatments in Thailand are 60% more economical compared to other developed regions. This affordability has attracted individuals from various regions, including Europe and North America for the treatment of numerous dental diseases.

Moreover, the rise in dental issues such as cavities and periodontal disease in Asia Pacific countries such as India, Philippines, and China are providing a larger ground for dental laboratories market to flourish. According to the most recent report from the World Health Organization, approximately 9,800 out of every 100,000 people in India are affected by lip and oral cavity cancer. This high incidence is attributed to poor oral hygiene practices and elevated tobacco consumption rates in the country. This health concern highlights the growing significance of dental care in India, driving the expansion of dental laboratories.
