Dental Equipment Market Size was valued at USD 11.20 Billion in 2023. The Global Dental Equipment industry is projected to grow from USD 11.92 Billion in 2024 to USD 19.57 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.62% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
Dental equipment refers to the instruments dental professionals use to treat dental conditions. These include tools to remove, procure, examine, and manipulate teeth and their neighboring oral structures. Periodontal disease and dental caries are considered the major dental conditions affecting most of the population. The global market for dental equipment has registered enormous growth in recent years. The market's growth is mainly credited to the development of new dental materials.
The dental equipment market has been segmented based on product, treatment, and end user.
The market of dental equipment, based on product has been segregated, into dental radiology equipment, dental lasers, systems & parts, laboratory machines, hygiene maintenance devices, and others. By dental radiology equipment, the market has been sub-segmented into intra-oral, extra-oral. By dental lasers, the market of dental equipment has been sub-segmented into diode lasers and carbon dioxide lasers. By system & parts, the market of dental equipment has been sub-segmented into CAD/CAM, cast machine and others. The systems & parts sub-segment is expected to hold the largest market as there has been an increase in demand for CAD/CAM. CAD/ CAM system is more in demand as it minimizes the time for dental procedures. Improvement in diagnosis is expected to drive the dental equipment market growth. Moreover, dentists and laboratory technicians use new tools that are developed for computer-aided design and digital impression.
