Europe Dental Equipment Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Europe Dental Equipment Market Analysis

The Europe Dental Equipment Market size is estimated at USD 3.48 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.75 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Due to the COVID-19 situation, fewer individuals sought dental care at hospitals and clinics, which reduced the need for dental equipment. For instance, as per the study published in January 2022, the emergency dental visits for dental, oral, and maxillofacial surgery at Mainz University Hospital during the partial lockdown period from November to December 2020 decreased by 39%. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the demand for dental equipment and impacted the growth of the market for a short period due to the strict lockdown restrictions.

However, the relaxation of strict regulations during the post-pandemic period increased the patient inflow in dental clinics, thereby contributing to the growth of the market over the forecast period.

The rise in dental issues and the increasing demand for efficient surgical dental care services are the main factors anticipated to propel the growth of the dental equipment market during the forecast period. Furthermore, other major drivers for the growth of the dental equipment market include the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry and the increasing variety of dental consumables such as crowns and bridge implants. Additionally, the growing dental tourism industry is driving the dental equipment market growth in developing nations.

According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) released in March 2022, between 20% and 90% of children under the age of six in Europe have dental caries. Additionally, in Europe, between 5% and 20% of adults aged 35 to 44 and about 40% of people over 65 have periodontal disease. Additionally, almost 30% of Europeans aged 65 to 70 no longer have their natural teeth, which has an effect on their quality of life. According to the same source, there are 5 to 10 cases of oral cancer for every 100,000 people in Europe.

Furthermore, strategic initiatives by market players are projected to accelerate market growth in the coming years. For instance, in May 2022, the Straumann Group acquired PlusDental, a manufacturer of orthodontic treatment options in Europe. This acquisition will strengthen the group's strategic consumer expertise and open up new growth opportunities. Similarly, in April 2021, Envista Holdings Corporation announced the establishment of a new partnership aimed at providing value-added solutions and a variety of services to Curaeos' fast-growing network of dental clinics across the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and Italy.

Additionally, dental and oral problems rank among the top worries for Europeans, demonstrating the need for better care. As a result, there is an increase in demand for dental equipment in the European region, which is expected to expedite the growth of the market under study. However, the lack of proper reimbursement of dental care and the high cost of dental surgeries are expected to restrain the growth of the market.
