Germany Dental Equipment Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Germany Dental Equipment Market Analysis

The German dental equipment market is expected to register a CAGR of nearly 6.5% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 profoundly impacted the dental equipment market owing to dental procedure cancellations in the country, affecting the market growth. For instance, as per the study published in June 2021, there was a noticeable decrease in emergency presentations to the dental, oral, and maxillofacial surgery emergency services at Mainz University Hospital during the partial lockdown period from November to December 2020 due to public restriction measures within the framework of the nationwide lockdown intervals, down to 39%. However, the market has been recovering well over the last two years since the restrictions were lifted.

The rising incidence of dental infections and other periodontal diseases, the demand for dental care facilities, dental surgical procedures, and dental care staff, as well as technical improvements, all contribute to an increase in these conditions, which are some of the major factors propelling the growth of this market. Moreover, due to the growing aging population, there has been an increase in dental implants and oral surgeries being performed. According to the Germany Federal Statistical Office 2022 report, there are roughly 83.2 million people in Germany. Of these, 16.2 million people are over 67 years old, and this is expected to rise to 21.4 million by 2040. In addition, oral cavities are being impacted by a decline in manual dexterity, an increase in co-morbidity, and medication use. Hence, dental care in aged care facilities is found to be poor, and access to dental professionals is difficult. There are several other risk factors, such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, medication, and hereditary conditions, which increase dental diseases.

The strategic initiatives adopted by market players, such as product launches, approvals, innovation in products, and fundraising for expansion, fuel the market growth. For instance, in May 2021, a new generation of dental biomaterials named the NOVAMag regeneration system was launched by botiss. The launch of the NOVAMag regeneration system provided an option for dentists seeking a biomaterial that is mechanically strong yet completely resorbable and is replaced with bone over time. Also, in March 2021, Berlin-based PlusDental raised EUR 35 million in funding from international investors, which will be used to expand its dental facilities. Such innovations and expansions are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the high cost of surgeries and expanding demand for refurbished dental equipment are likely to impede market growth.
