Digital Dentistry Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Digital Dentistry Market Analysis

The digital dentistry market is projected to register a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 has impacted the growth of the digital dentistry market owing to the cancellations of the dental procedures during the initial phase of the pandemic. For instance, according to an article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in July 2021, various private dental practices in Germany were shut down to avoid the spread of coronavirus infection. This has impacted the demand for digital dentistry during the pandemic. However, with the released restrictions and resumed dental treatment centers the studied market has witnessed significant growth and is expected to grow over the foreacst period.

Factors such as the increasing focus on digital dentistry and the growing geriatric population are boosting the market growth.

The rising prevalence of dental and oral diseases among the population raises the demand for effective intraoral scanners and digital devices early to detect and measure the depth of the condition, hence propelling the market growth. For instance, as per the data from Al-Azhar University published in July 2022, it was observed that the prevalence of dental caries in Saudi Arabia was around 65.24% in a total of 15,319 children during the year 2021.

The rising focus of the companies on developing digital workflows and digital platforms, as well as growing collaboration with other tech companies are also expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, 3Shape TRIOS 5 Wireless, a completely new, state-of-the-art intraoral scanner was launched to help dentistry to go digital with dentistry. Also, in May 2022, Dentsply Sirona launched a cloud-based DS Core digital dentistry platform, which was designed to enhance digital workflows with benefits for dentists, dental labs, and patients globally, by collaborating with Google Cloud.

Furthermore, the growing geriatric population is contributing to the rising demand for dental prosthetics which is supporting the market growth as prosthetics are developed with the help of 3D printing technology. For instance, a wide range of medical sectors finds 3D printing attractive as it makes precise production simpler and makes it possible to design complicated geometries that are customized to a patient. It also saves time and money by reducing human labor. Therefore, the reduction in cost and increasing benefits of 3D printing technologies are expected to boost the adoption of 3D printing of dental prosthetics, hence boosting the market growth.

Hence, owing to the aforementioned factors such as the increasing aging population, and the high burden of dental and oral diseases among the population, the studied market is expected to grow over the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with implementation is likely to impede the growth of the digital dentistry market over the forecast period.
