Digital Dentistry Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Digital Dentistry Market Analysis

The Digital Dentistry Market size is estimated at USD 8.77 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.89 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Factors like the increasing focus on digital dentistry, the growing geriatric population, and new product launches by the market players are boosting the market growth.

The high incidence of dental and oral diseases among the population raises the demand for effective intraoral scanners and digital devices early to detect and measure the depth of the condition, hence propelling the market growth. For instance, according to an article published in Frontier in Public Health in September 2023, by 2050, the projected number of individuals aged 16 and above with carious teeth is set to reach 15.504 million in the United Kingdom. Among this group, older adults are expected to make up 62.06% of the total, marking an 89.4% increase from 5.079 million in 2020 to an estimated 9.623 million by 2050. Thus, the high burden of dental disaeses is expected to increase demand for dental procedures and is likely to contribute to market growth over the forecast period.

The rising focus of companies on developing digital workflows and digital platforms, as well as growing collaboration with other tech companies, are also expected to boost the market growth over the projected period. For instance, in September 2022, 3Shape TRIOS 5 Wireless, a completely new, state-of-the-art intraoral scanner was launched to help dentistry to go digital with dentistry. Also, in May 2022, Dentsply Sirona launched a cloud-based DS Core digital dentistry platform, which was designed to enhance digital workflows with benefits for dentists, dental labs, and patients globally, by collaborating with Google Cloud.

The growing geriatric population is leading to the increasing demand for dental prosthetics, which supports the market growth as prosthetics are developed with the help of 3D printing technology. For instance, a wide range of medical sectors finds 3D printing attractive as it makes precise production simpler and makes it possible to design complicated geometries that are customized to a patient. It also saves time and money by reducing human labor. Therefore, the reduction in cost and increasing benefits of 3D printing technologies are expected to boost the adoption of 3D printing of dental prosthetics, hence boosting the market growth.

Hence, owing to factors such as the increasing aging population, and the high burden of dental and oral diseases among the population, the market studied is expected to grow over the projected period. However, the high cost associated with implementation is likely to restrain the growth of the digital dentistry market over the forecast period.
