Dental Sterilization Market Analysis
The Dental Sterilization Market size is estimated at USD 1.56 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.17 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.81% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system, particularly dental care. Dentistry is considered to be linked to the nosocomial spread of infection due to certain characteristics of dental care, such as aerosol generation and proximity to patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the increased risk of cross-infection among dentists, nurses, and patients made it challenging to prevent and control. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the market's growth adversely in its preliminary phase; however, the market is expected to gain traction due to the significant increase in the practice of dental services which require proper setrilization globally.
The growing prevalence of dental ailments (edentulism, dental caries, and other periodontal diseases), the increasing demand for cosmetics dentistry, the increasing number of dental surgeries, and the increasing risks of cross-transmission are the prime factors responsible for the growth of the dental sterilization market. As per a March 2022 update by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide and severe periodontal (gum) disease, which may result in tooth loss, is also very common, with almost 10% of the global population affected. In dentistry, it is very important to have an effective and efficient way of controlling any type of infection to ensure the patient's wellbeing. This will lead to increased adoption of dental sterilization devices, thereby expected to drive the growth of the studied market.
Moreover, following guidelines for the prevention of cross-transmission are common practice in many countries. Various infection control programs are initiated for this purpose that is increasing awareness about the cleaning and sterilization of dental devices and instruments. For instance, in January 2022, the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) collaborated with Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) to develop two new dental infection control certifications: the Certified in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) certification and the Dental Industry Specialist in Infection Prevention and ControlTM (DISIPCTM) certification. Therefore, increased consumer demand for dental sterilization equipment is anticipated to fuel the market's expansion. This is due to increased awareness of dental sterilization procedures.
Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, stricter regulations on dental devices is likely to impede the market growth.
Dental Sterilization Market Trends
High-temperature Sterilizers Segment Expected to Witness Growth Over the Forecast Period
The high-temperature sterilizers segment accounted for the largest share of the market and is expected to be the dominant market during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the cost-effective and reliable nature of the instruments and their efficiency in disinfecting complicated dental devices. The development of a safe and comfortable environment for patients is one of the critical priorities of dental healthcare providers.
A dental high-temperature sterilizer is utilized for proper sanitization of dental equipment after use. The high-steam sterilizer uses high pressure, temperature, and steam to combat debris and bacteria. The steam sterilizers meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) requirements for proper sterilization, allowing dentist offices to reuse various instruments and tools.
Additionally, technologically advanced products are being introduced by the major market players to bring down the cost of sterilization and effectively sterilize equipment. For instance, In September 2020, Midmark Corp. introduced the new Sterilizer Data Logger and upgraded its Midmark M3 Steam Sterilizer. Both the devices bring efficiency, compliance, and speed to the processing of instruments. Hence, such new developments are elevating the market growth.
Therefore, the high-temperature sterilizers segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.
North America Expected to Dominate the Dental Sterilization Market
North America is expected to dominate the market owing to factors such as the increasing awareness of oral healthcare, increasing incidences of dental diseases, and increasing demand for advanced cosmetic dental procedures in the region.
For instance, according to the American Dental Association Report 2021, in the United States, more than 5 million people aged 65 to 74 have complete tooth loss, with nearly 3 million edentulous in 2020. Tooth loss, on the other hand, is primarily a problem for the elderly. This is because 91% of adults aged 20 to 64 have dental caries, with a staggering 27% going untreated in the same year. Thus, geriatric loss is a common problem due to dental diseases, thereby driving the demand for dental sterilization devices is likely to boost the overall target market growth in the studied period.
Additionally, the National Institute of Health article titled 'Estimates of Funding for Various Research, Condition, and Disease Categories' published in June 2021, stated that an estimated USD 638 million annual research support for dental/Oral and Craniofacial Disease based on grants, contracts, and other funding mechanisms used across the National Institutes of Health. It is anticipated that the demand for sterilization equipment will rise alongside research activity for new technologies and treatments as a result of the rising research funding for dental diseases. Thereby, this is elevating the growth of the market.
In addition, in June 2022, the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation awarded the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine with a grant of USD 550,000 in order to help the Western New York's homeless and underinsured families access dental care. Such initiatives support dental practices is increasing the demand for sterilization of dental equipment hence it is expected to boost the market growth.
Moreover, several market players are engaged in the implementation of strategic initiatives, thereby contributing to market growth. For instance, in March 2020, W&H Dentalwerk launched Lyla, an S-type autoclave, which is future-proof and best-performing for safe reprocessing and infection prevention. It also includes a feature to upgrade from S to B type autoclave. Hence, this is elevating the market growth.
Therefore, owing to the aforesaid factors the growth of the studied market is anticipated in the North America Region.
