Dental Equipment and Consumables Market: Growth Drivers

Growing prevalence of dental diseases to drive the market growth

One of the prime factors that is driving the market growth is the growing incidence of dental diseases across the globe. It is being found that caries of permanent teeth affect an estimated 2.3 billion individuals worldwide, whereas caries of primary teeth affect about 530 million children. Oral diseases are extremely common all throughout the world, constituting a severe public health threat. The cumulative burden of oral diseases is growing substantially as a result of demographic factors such as population rise and aging. Furthermore, alcohol, sugar, and cigarette usage, as well as its accompanying commercial and social determinants, are all risk factors for oral diseases.

Besides, dental tourism is becoming more popular as a result of globalization's ease of travel, knowledge, and trade. Medical tourism has also grown in importance as a source of cash in developing nations, particularly in the Asia Pacific area, and may help to enhance local healthcare systems. The major motivations for dental tourism include reduced prices of care in the foreign land, no long waits, and fast treatment times, as well as the option to combine treatment with a vacation to fascinating places and the accessibility of treatments that are not authorized in the home country. All such factors are contributing to the growth of the global dental equipment and consumables market.

Dental Equipment and Consumables Market: Restraints

Lack of reimbursement policies to hinder the market growth

Owing to lack of the of healthcare expertise and financial means to undergo treatment, the majority of those impacted by oral illness are from lower-income groups. Medicare, the national health insurance program for older persons and young beneficiaries with impairments in developed nations such as the United States, does not cover normal dental treatment, and lots of folks have no dental coverage at all. Minimal or no dental insurance coverage may lead to huge out-of-pocket expenditures for certain people, as well as a lack of oral health treatment for others.

Furthermore, the rules exclude normal preventive dental treatments (such as x-rays, cleanings, and examinations), as well as major and minor restorative procedures (such as dentures, crowns, or fillings). In addition to oral health, knowledge remains a problem, since many people are unaware of how to seek dental treatment, how to minimize oral diseases, or the importance of oral health. Furthermore, many people cannot afford private dental treatment, and oral health care is frequently not incorporated into the main healthcare system. This is likely to hamper market growth.

Dental Equipment and Consumables Market: Opportunities

Advancement in dental technology to enhance the space of market during the forecast period.

CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Designing and Manufacturing) technologies became an extremely prominent aspect of dentistry, and the advancement of CAD/CAM technology in restoration technology has been rapid. By solving a variety of dental office concerns, digital impressions, combined with CAD-CAM, will eventually make digital intraoral scanning a standard practice for many dental restorative operations. Moreover, digital impressions minimize the amount of essential treatment visits and improve the therapy's precision and accuracy. With the widespread adoption of such technology, rapid expansion in many sectors of dentistry that can benefit from digital models (dental implantology, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and restorative dentistry) and digital impression taking is expected in the coming years, resulting in a real tech transformation in dentistry and several growth opportunities for the global dental equipment and consumables market over the forecast period.

Dental Equipment and Consumables Market: Challenges

Lack of awareness regarding oral health acts as major challenge for growth of the market

The misconception that oral health is less important than general health continues to exist among citizens, including healthcare workers, legislators, insurance companies, educators, and community leaders. Patient populations with limited oral health literacy skills are associated with the highest levels of disease and the worst oral health outcomes. The effects of low oral health literacy can have a domino effect on society and may be passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, affordability and availability are major barriers to accessing care. Dentists tend to concentrate in more affluent urban areas, leaving rural or disadvantaged populations relatively underserved. This in turn is predicted to serve as a major challenge for the market growth.
