Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported in March 2020 that oral disease affects 3.5 billion people Globally, with almost half of the world's population affected by untreated tooth decay (dental caries). Additionally, oral cancer is among the top three cancers detected in Asia-Pacific countries, according to the WHO. 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.
