Market Trends of Asia-Pacific Digital Dentistry Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Digital Dentistry Market according to our research experts:
The Instruments Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Digital Dentistry Market
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 seemed to impede the growth of the market due to the sudden imposition of restrictions across the world by different governments. This reduced the manpower in the supply chain and also affected the manufacturing processes as well. However, the relaxation of strict lockdowns during the post-pandemic period has increased the patient influx and thereby propelling the growth of the market.
The Instruments such as Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology is expected to hold a dominating share in the studied market region during the forecast period. For instance, in 2022 the article titled ' Let's implement CAD/CAM dentistry into practice' mentioned that digital technology represented by dental CAD/CAM was rapidly spreading in Japan. Approximately 90% of dental treatment in Japan is carried out under the public health insurance system and full metal cast crowns of gold-silver-palladium alloys had accounted for the majority. However, the CAD/CAM resin crown started from the premolars and with the development of the material, the molars and anterior teeth were also covered by the public health insurance system. Such increasing research study evidence stating the extensive usage of Computer-aided design technology in the Digital Dentistry of the dental industry is expected to boost the growth of the market.
India is Expected to Dominate with the Highest CAGR in the Asia-Pacific Digital Dentistry Market
India is expected to be dominant with highest CAGR here in the growth of the market during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of various dental issues and increasing product innovations.
Dental caries, oral malignancies, and periodontal disorders are all major health concerns in India. According to an article titled 'Issues of Dental Health in India' published in October 2020 mentioned that in India, about 85% to 90% of adults have dental cavities along with about 60% to 80% of children. Also, around 30% of children have misaligned jaws and teeth. Such prevalence of dental issues among the population is expected to drive the demand for digital dentistry thereby contributing to the growth of the market. Similarly, the article titled 'Oral health concerns in India' published in April 2020 mentioned that root caries was prevalent in 3.9 and 5.4% of subjects in the country in the age groups of 35-44 and 65-4 years, respectively. The prevalence of periodontal disease was found to be higher in adult age groups in comparison to children reaching as high as 89.2%. Thus, the prevalence of various oral diseases is expected to drive the growth of the market in India.
Furthermore, in 2020, India is also found aging much faster than previously thought and is expected to have nearly 20% population of the world's 60 years and above by 2050 with the largest number of older adults in the world as per the Department of Geriatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The increase in population in India and the awareness among people about dental hygiene and aesthetics are propelling the demand for digital dentistry in India.
Thus the above mentioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
