Dental Liners and Bases Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Global Dental Liners And Bases Market Analysis

The dental liners and bases market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global dental liners and bases market initially. The postponement of dental treatments during the initial days of the pandemic has declined the demand for dental liners and bases. For instance, according to the research article published in February 2021, NHS dental patients faced significant delays in receiving treatment, with some appointments canceled as dentists were unable to provide care without adequate personal protective equipment (PPE). The same source also reported that patients had to wait anywhere for months for an appointment during the pandemic. However, to overcome such a situation some major steps were also taken by the government. For instance, as per the NHS report published in February 2021, despite the pandemic, millions of people received dental treatment during the later phase of the pandemic and the NHS also established more than 650 emergency dental centers so that patients can access a dentist when needed. Thus, although the market witnessed an adverse impact in the initial days, it gained traction during the later phase of the pandemic and is expected to maintain an upward trend over the forecast period.

The increasing cases of dental caries and other dental diseases such as periodontal gum diseases across the globe and rising awareness towards oral health are the major drivers for the market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) report published in March 2023, more than 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases worldwide. The same source also stated that more than 2.0 billion people and 515 million children suffer from caries of permanent teeth across the globe.

The prevalence of major oral diseases is expected to increase continuously around the globe due to increasing urbanization and lifestyle changes. This is mainly due to insufficient exposure to fluoride, the availability and affordability of foods high in sugar, and poor access to oral care services. Furthermore, according to the data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in November 2022, more than 1 in 4 (26.0%) adults in the United States had untreated tooth decay. The same source also stated that around half (46.0%) of all adults age 30 or older experience gum disease and severe gum disease affects around 9.0% of adults in the United States. Dental liners and bases are widely used to improve the results of dental caries treatment and several dental restoration procedures. Thus, increasing cases of dental carriers and other dental diseases are expected to increase the demand for dental liners and bases, thereby propelling the market growth over the forecast period.

In addition, various campaigns related to oral health to increase awareness of oral health due to the rising number of oral diseases across the globe are also anticipated to propel market growth. For instance, in September 2022, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) organized a National Oral Health Campaign throughout September, focusing on oral and dental injuries during sports. The activities include screening an awareness video in stadiums about oral and dental injuries, publishing leaflets on oral and dental health in general, and oral and dental injuries during sports. Thus, such initiatives may create awareness regarding oral health among the general population and may encourage people to opt for consultations at the initial stage of dental conditions. Furthermore, increasing cases of oral diseases across the globe are also anticipated to boost the demand for dental liners and bases. For instance, according to data published by American Dental Association, in November 2022, the global cases of oral diseases have increased by 1.0 billion over the last 30 years. Thus, such instances are expected to positively impact the market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the product launches by the key players are also likely to drive market growth. For instance, in March 2023, Prodways introduced its new Provivic denture base resin for 3D printing of full and partial denture bases. The new resin is adapted for use on Prodways' ProMaker LD-series printers that feature patented MOVINGLight technology. Similarly, in November 2021, Prevest DenPro launched three new products, CalUltra - Calcium Hydroxide Cavity Liners, CalApex - Root Canal Sealer, and Fusion Crysta Orthodontic Adhesive Kit. Therefore, owing to such product launches, considerable market growth is expected over the forecast period.

However, side effects associated with the materials used for the development of dental liners and bases may hinder market growth.
