Market Trends of Orthodontic Equipment Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Orthodontic Equipment Market according to our research experts:
Dental Lasers are Expected to Show a High Growth During the Forecast Period
The increasing prevalence of oral diseases across the globe and an inclination toward the use of minimally-invasive procedures are the key factors propelling the growth of the dental lasers market. There are several types of laser available in the market such as Diode Lasers, Gas Lasers, and Solid-State Lasers.
The most common soft tissue applications of dental lasers are gingivectomy, frenectomy, hemorrhagic lesion removal, gingival sculpting, and subgingival curettage. Dental lasers offer numerous advantages, such as the reduction of pain/discomfort post-surgery, reduced post-operative swelling, improved hemostasis, and exemption from the need for sutures, decreasing bacterial growth and operation time, and drastic reduction of bleeding.
The use of laser is an effective tool to increase efficiency, specificity, ease, and cost and comfort of dental treatment. High growth in the future is expected to be a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic laser techniques. Furthermore, specific laser technologies are expected to become essential components of contemporary dental practice over the next few years.
North America is Expected to Dominates the Market During the Forecast Period
North America is currently dominating the market studied and the United States holds the largest share of this market. Over 30 million crowns are made in the United States per year. This market is driven by a debatable need for metal-free restorations. In general, wide acceptance of technological advancements in orthodontic equipment, like lasers, intra-oral cameras, digital radiography, and CAD/CAM systems, is expected to help in the growth of the market.
Moreover, there is a steady increase in the number of people aged 50 years and above that require regular dental check-ups and assistance. This has also contributed to the growth of the market studied in the United States.
