These statistics demonstrate the widespread nature of dental disorders and suggest that their increasing prevalence will drive the dental CAD/CAM market growth in the forecast period.

The market of dental CAD/CAM is growing steadily due to the rising incidence of dental diseases, which presents a lucrative growth opportunity for the increasing number of advanced CAD/CAM products. The market analysis of the dental CAD/CAM industry includes four key components: research and development and design, product manufacturing, distribution and sales, and post-sales monitoring. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.

Dental CAD/CAM Market Segment Insights

Dental CAD/CAM Type Insights

The market segmentation of dental CAD/CAM, based on type, includes In-lab, and In-office. The In-lab segment held the majority share in 2022 in the dental CAD/CAM market data. This is because In-lab dental CAD/CAM systems are complete in-house production solutions that consist of a compact milling unit equipped with a built-in laser scanner and controlled by a standard commercial personal computer (PC). These laboratory systems are seamless, flexible, and economically viable. For example, Sirona's In-Lab system SW 4.0 streamlines the entire digital production process, from scanning and receiving digital impressions to designing and milling restorations or models.

Dental CAD/CAM Component Insights

The dental CAD/CAM market segmentation, based on components, includes milling machines, dental printers, scanners, and software. The software segment dominated the market growth in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023-2032. The software segment is expected to experience a higher growth rate during the forecast period due to increased investment by major players in the development of advanced software with improved features for dental CAD/CAM systems. For example, in November 2020, Planmeca USA, a prominent dental CAD/CAM equipment provider, introduced Planmeca PlanCAD premium design software for designing dental prosthetics.
