Market Trends of Global Dental Infection Control Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Dental Infection Control Market according to our research experts:
Consumable Segment is Expected to Lead the Market Over The Forecast Period
Based on the product type the market is segmented into consumables and equipment. The consumable product segment is by far leading the market and is expected to do so even in the forecast period. Consumables products are intended to be used by end-users such as dental hospitals and clinics, dental laboratories, and pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies to prevent the risk of infection transmission.
The increasing prevalence of dental infections and other periodontal diseases, growing demand for dental care facilities and dental surgical procedures, and rising dental care personnel, coupled with technological advancements, are some of the major factors propelling the growth of this market. Additionally, the increasing number of dental visits is also propelling the growth of the market. For instance, the early release of selected estimates based on data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey, published in August 2021, reported that in 2020 there were 63% of adults aged 18 years or over visited the dentist in the United States. Such a high number of dental visits creates the need for dental equipment for check-ups and treatment and thus is expected to drive the growth of the market.
Moreover, dental caries, oral malignancies, and periodontal disorders are all major oral health concerns in the United States. As per the article published in September 2022 under the title 'Sugar-sweetened beverages and periodontal disease: A systematic review', drinking beverages with added sugar is likely to cause more gingival bleeding, which is anticipated to lead to gingivitis and a higher chance of developing periodontitis. When determining gingival/periodontal risk, consumption of added sugars such as sugar-sweetened beverages should be considered as a potential factor. Since most of the cool drinks and refreshment drinks come with added sugar. Hence the chance of tooth decay is likely to be high and the adoption of dental consumables is anticipated to grow due to the increasing number of dental problems. Therefore, the market segment is expected to see a surge over the forecast period.
Thus, due to the above-mentioned developments, the segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
North America Region is Expected to Dominate the Global Market
Geographically, North America dominates the dental infection control market. The market is expected to register the highest share even in the forecast period. The growing prevalence of dental infections, increasing demand for novel cosmetic procedures and dental surgeries, rising healthcare expenditure, improved healthcare infrastructure, rising disposable income, and satisfactory insurance coverage is some of the key factors responsible for the growth of the market in this region. Moreover, increasing initiatives by various regulatory bodies, such as mandatory education and training programs for hospital staff to create awareness about dental infection and its prevention methodology by Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are fuelling the growth of the market.
As per the early release of selected estimates based on data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey, published in August 2021, reported that in 2020 there were 63% of adults aged 18 years or over visited the dentist in the United States. Such a high number of dental visits creates the need for dental infection control and thus is expected to drive the growth of the market.
According to the research study published in April 2021, titled 'Self-Reported Dental Caries by Mexican Elementary and Middle-School Schoolchildren in the Context of Socioeconomic Indicators: A National Ecological Study', tooth loss is quite common in the Mexican population, with prevalence ranging between 13.5% and 34.5%. Hence, due to the high prevalence of dental diseases in the region, the demand for restorative dentistry products is expected to increase which is anticipated to boost the market growth in the region. Further, according to the American Dental Association updates, in May 2021, more than 5 million United States seniors aged 65 to 74 have complete tooth loss, with nearly 3 million edentulous. Tooth loss, on the other hand, is primarily a problem for the elderly. This is because 91% of adults aged 20 to 64 have dental caries, with a staggering 27% going untreated. Thus, the high geriatric population is expected to have more dental issues which are expected to increase the demand for dental infection controlling, thereby, increasing the market over the forecast period.
Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market is expected to project growth of the market.
