Dental Laboratories Market Insights

Parallel to the dental health sector, the dental laboratory industry is growing. The growing number of dentists, hospitals, and endodontists is one of the primary factors propelling the dental laboratory sector forward. The growth of the global economy is also attributed to an increase in the number of maxillofacial and oral surgeons, journalists, orthodontic and prosthodontic surgeons. The global need for dental labs is increasing, as are dental products such as bridges, crowns, dentures, and so on.

Growth is predicted to drive up demand for cosmetic dental procedures, as well as an increase in the aging population. In the approaching years, this factor is projected to boost market expansion. In anticipation of increased demand in the dental laboratory market, elderly people with poor cognitive health may struggle to manage medical situations, medications, or other self-care procedures, such as oral hygiene.

The dental laboratory's technological developments as a material implant have resulted in shorter chair times, faster healing, painless therapy for bone morphologic proteins, and hydroxyapatite coatings. Similarly, it has made it easier to schedule and manage complex processes, as well as 3D imaging dental implants, couronnes, and bridges, which will result in improved paticide diagneses by implementing sophisticated imaged imaging methods such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Furthermore, the growing number of celebrities and media influencers displaying their flawless smiles on social media platforms has fueled the demand for aesthetic appeal in the world of dentistry.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 99.7 percent of people believe their smile is an important social asset, and nearly 84 percent are willing to face increased pressure to complete their smile, increasing the number of celebrities and adults seeking orthodontic treatment. This increased demand prompted the creation of a wide range of procedures and processes that cater to patients' specific needs, ultimately promoting market growth.

Dental Laboratories Market Segmentation

The worldwide market for dental laboratories is split based on product, equipment, material, prosthetic type, and geography.

Dental Laboratories Product

• Oral Care
• Restorative
• Endodontic
• Orthodontic
• Implant

According to the dental laboratories industry analysis, oral care accounted for about 28% of the top market share. This anticipated era is expected to see productive development as awareness of oral hygiene has grown and healthy oral behavior for overall well-being has become increasingly vital. In terms of market share, the restaurant segment trailed the oral care industry. Improves restoration precision, hence boosting growth in disciplines such as CAD/CAM dentistry, digital x-ray, intraoral imaging, and caries diagnosis.

Dental Laboratories Equipment

• Dental Radiology Equipment
• Dental Lasers
• System and Parts
  • 3D Printing Systems
  • Integrated CAD/CAM Systems
  • Other Systems and Parts
• Laboratory Machines
  • Casting Machines
  • Milling Equipment
  • Furnaces
  • Articulators
  • Other Laboratory Machines
• Dental Scanners
• Others

According to the dental laboratories industry analysis, systems and parts continued to dominate the market. One of the primary drivers of growth is the availability of technologically advanced technologies, which result in shorter wait times and higher accuracy. During the forecast period, dental lasers are expected to grow at a rapid CAGR. Dental lasers can be used in a wide range of diagnostic and surgical applications. Such technologies include bone and ligament tissue regeneration, as well as reduced bleeding and malaise during the operation. As a result, in the future years, these lasers are expected to become profitable.

Dental Laboratories Material

• Metal Ceramics
• Traditional All Ceramics
• CAD/CAM Materials
• Plastic
• Metals
• Others

According to the dental laboratories industry forecast, the metal ceramic segment dominates the market due to its improved chewing ability, chewing, and esthetics, which add to the natural appearance of the face by replacing missing or misaligned teeth. Compared to ceramics and other health-care items, this sector has higher breaking resistance, strength, durability, and biocompatibility.

Dental Laboratories Prosthetic Type

• Bridges
• Crowns
• Veneers
• Dentures
• Clear Aligners

According to the dental laboratories market forecast, crowns, particularly ceramic and zirconia kinds are the most popular prosthetics in dentistry laboratories due to their cosmetic appeal, durability, and biocompatibility. These materials provide a natural tooth-like look and are wear-resistant, making them suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations. Furthermore, developments in CAD/CAM technology have expedited the manufacturing process, increasing precision and efficiency when making personalized crowns. As a result, the demand for crowns continues to rise.

Dental Laboratories Market Regional Analysis

For several reasons, North America had the largest revenue market share in 2023 due to the region's sophisticated medical infrastructure, supporting government initiatives, and relatively high level of health spending, such as the United States initiative to integrate oral health and primary care. The Health and Human Services Department aims to strengthen the competence and expertise of primary care dentists while also encouraging cross-professional collaboration among healthcare practitioners. For instance, ZimVie Inc. has launched Azure Multi-Platform Product Solutions in October 2023, a comprehensive suite of restorative components designed to efficiently satisfy the needs of the dental laboratory market.

During the predicted period, Asia-Pacific is expected to have profitable growth. The progressive economy, a large population of elderly, increased income availability, and awareness of dental health are expected to drive growth. For instance, with India's elderly population growing at a decadal rate of 41% and projected to double to more than 20% of the total population by 2050, the United Nations Population Fund, India (UNFPA) stated in its 2023 India Ageing Report that by 2046, the elderly population is likely to have surpassed the country's children (aged 0 to 15 years). Furthermore, higher untapped prospects are likely to generate growth opportunities in the region during the forecast period, as will rapid improvements in health infrastructure.
