Global Dental Syringes Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Dental Syringes Market Analysis

The dental syringes market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period.

The dental practice has also been significantly impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As per a research study published in the International Journal of Dentistry, 2020, dental health care personnel are placed in the very high exposure risk category as dentists work close to the patient's oral cavity by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Additionally, dental procedures involve the use of rotary instruments such as handpieces and scalers, which generate aerosols and can increase the risk of transmission of the SARS-CoV2 virus among patients and healthcare providers. Also, in March 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA) provides guidelines that dental practices should postpone elective dental procedures and provide emergency-only dental services to reserve the healthcare infrastructure and staff for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and simultaneously reduce the transmission of the virus within dental practices. Thus, there is a significant decline in dental practice during the pandemic, which is expected to negatively impact the market over the COVID-19 pandemic.

A dental syringe is a syringe used by dentists to numb various areas of a patient's mouth in preparation for oral care procedures. To avoid needle stick injuries (NSIs) and resulting infections, dental syringes are preferred over needle sticks, which may cause a risk of transmission of bloodborne pathogens to dental health care providers (DHCPs).

The rising incidence of dental and oral diseases due to unhealthy eating habits and lack of vitamins is one of the major growth drivers. Besides, the rising geriatric population prone to various dental conditions is expected to fuel the growth. As per a March 2022 update by the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide. Severe periodontal (gum) disease, which may result in tooth loss, is also prevalent, affecting almost 10% of the global population. Moreover, 2.3 billion people worldwide suffer from dental caries of permanent teeth, and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of their primary teeth. Moreover, according to the research study published in February 2020, titled 'Prevalence and risk factors of root caries in the geriatric population in the rural sector', the major factor responsible for root caries in the Indian population were increasing age, long-term deleterious habits, and increased bone resorption leading to the gingival recession. The study reported that the percentage of deleterious habits amongst males was higher than that of females hence, males were reported with root caries more than females. Moreover, males are associated with dry mouth and exposed root surfaces more than females. As saliva is associated with remineralization and anti-cariogenic properties, the dry mouth (xerostomia) is highly associated with caries. Thus, the increasing incidences of dental diseases are driving the demand for dental syringes, thereby contributing to market growth.

Moreover, the strategic initiatives taken by the market players are propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in October 2020, Accuro Technologies Inc. obtained FDA's 510(K) approval for its Arthrotap, which is intended for use by healthcare professionals for general purpose fluid aspiration/injection. Similarly, in April 2020, a 510(k) approval was received by Gemtier Medical (Shanghai) Inc. for its sterile syringe with safety needle for single use, which is intended for use in aspiration and injection of fluids for medical purposes. Moreover, in November 2020, Septodont launched the Dentapen, which is the next generation of electronic syringes for dental anesthesia. Such initiatives also contribute to the growth of the market.

However, the high cost of dental syringes may hinder the growth of this market.
