China Dental Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

China Dental Devices Market Analysis

The China dental devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period.

The outbreak of the pandemic adversely impacted the dental devices market in China. For instance, according to the study titled, "The Impact of the COVID-19 Epidemic on Orthodontic Patients in China: An Analysis of Posts on Weibo" published in December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many dental care services, including orthodontic practice, were suspended in China. Orthodontic patients turned to social media platforms to communicate, share experiences, and look for solutions. It also stated that delayed appointments were the greatest concern during the pandemic. Furthermore, the study reported that untreated orthodontic problems increased among patients due to the interruption of dental care services in the country. Similarly, according to the study titled, "Possible aerosol transmission of COVID-19 and special precautions in dentistry" published in May 2020, to prevent the potential risk of transmission of the virus, most of the dental hospitals and clinics around China were temporarily closed and only dental emergencies that required immediate treatment and control, such as trauma, fascial space infection, and carcinoma, were taken up by the dentists during the pandemic. Therefore, such instances indicate that the market witnessed slow growth during the initial pandemic phase. However, with the easing of restrictions and resumptions of dental treatments, the market is gaining momentum and is expected to witness a considerable growth in the upcoming years.

The growing elderly population, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and the increasing incidence of dental diseases are the major driving factors for the market. For instance, according to the study titled, "Prevalence and factors contributing to dental caries in 12-15-year-old school adolescents in northeast China" published in November 2021, the school adolescents exhibited a high prevalence of dental caries and showed low awareness of oral health. The study also recommended that more oral and dental health education and promotion should be comprehensively integrated into school courses for adolescents in order to reduce dental problems. Therefore, such instances are anticipated to drive the demand for dental devices in China, thereby boosting market growth over the forecast period.

However, the increasing cost of surgeries and the lack of proper reimbursement of dental care are likely to impede the market's growth over the forecast period.
