Italy Dental Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Italy Dental Devices Market Analysis

The Italy dental devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the dental devices market in the initial phase of the pandemic. For instance, according to the study titled, "Dentistry during the COVID-19 Epidemic: An Italian Workflow for the Management of Dental Practice" published by the National Library of Medicine in May 2020, in Italy, 116 doctors have died due to COVID-19, including 12 dentists. Similarly, as per the study titled, "The Impact of COVID-19 Related Lockdown on Dental Practice in Central Italy-Outcomes of A Survey" published by the National Library of Medicine in August 2020, during COVID-19 dental practice in Italy was only restricted to urgency and emergency treatments, and all other dental cases were postponed. Therefore, such instances indicate that the outbreak of COVID-19 had an adverse effect on the market growth. However, owing to the resumption of dental treatments and services in mid-2021, the market is anticipated to attain its pre-pandemic growth rates over the coming years.

The rising geriatric population and increasing incidence of dental diseases in Italy are anticipated to propel market growth over the forecast period. The rising geriatric population is considered the major driver of the surge in the market's growth. According to the report published by Eurostat in February 2022, the share of the geriatric population increased by 3.0% in Italy between 2011 and 2021. Dental problems are most prevalent among the geriatric population, as a result, this increase in the elderly populace will in turn drive the demand for dental devices within the country. According to the study titled, "Common Medical and Dental Problems of Older Adults: A Narrative Review" published by the National Library of Medicine in August 2021, most studies report that the majority of older adults do not have regular dental checkups owing to which dental problems have become one of the major concerns among the geriatric population. Common oral diseases such as dental caries, especially root caries, and periodontal disease are very prevalent among them.

Moreover, as per the study titled "Experience and Prevalence of Dental Caries in Migrant and Nonmigrant Low-SES Families' Children Aged 3 to 5 Years in Italy" published in MDPI in September 2022, the prevalence of caries (71%) and the mean decay experience (dmft) of migrant children were statistically significantly higher than the percentage (52%) and the mean dmft of the non-migrant control group with no differences between genders. Therefore, such instances indicate that the demand for dental devices is expected to increase in the near future, thereby boosting the market growth.

However, the increasing cost of surgeries and a lack of awareness of dental diseases are likely to impede the market's growth over the forecast period.
