UAE Dental Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

UAE Dental Devices Market Analysis

The UAE Dental Devices Market size is estimated at USD 207.71 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 272 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.54% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the dental market in the UAE. For instance, an article published by Dubai Health Authority in August 2021 reported that during the initial days of the pandemic, only emergency procedures were provided by dentists in UAE to establish or maintain patients' oral health based on professional diagnostics. As a result, there was a decrease in demand for dental devices in UAE, and thus, the market witnessed significant challenges during the initial days of the pandemic. However, in the current scenario, it is expected that due to a decrease in COVID-19 cases and the resumption of emergency and non-emergency healthcare services in the UAE, the demand for dental devices is expected to increase compared to the beginning of the pandemic. Thus, the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

The factors that are driving the growth of this market are increasing awareness of oral care, increasing incidences of dental diseases, and innovation in dental equipment.

The increasing government initiatives are raising awareness among the people of the country to take proper care of dental health and thus driving the growth of the market. For instance, in March 2022, The Oral and Dental Health Week initiatives were launched by the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) in collaboration with the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE). The purpose of this initiative was to renew the commitment to the importance of maintaining excellent oral health practices in the UAE. Such initiatives are creating awareness among the public in the country, thus leading to regular dental visits and contributing to the growth of the dental market in the country.

The increasing incidence of dental diseases among young children and the geriatric population is driving the growth of the studied market. For instance, an article published in the International Journal of Environment Research and Public Health in October 2022 reported that a study conducted among 12-year-old children in the Emirate of Ajman, UAE, among 1008 children reported that 9.8% of them had experienced dental trauma, and the most prevalent injuries were enamel fractures (58.7%) and enamel-dentine fractures (34.3%). Thus, the high incidence of dental injuries and tooth decay is driving demand for dental devices in the UAE and thus driving the growth of the dental trauma market.

Furthermore, innovation in dental products is also contributing to this market's growth. For instance, in January 2022, Pearl received clearance from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Health and Prevention for Second Opinion, a comprehensive AI-powered real-time pathology detection aid for dentists. Second Opinion helps dentists automatically scan and detect a broad range of dental conditions via x-ray and meets stringent patient and user safety standards. Thus, such technological advancements are driving the growth of the UAE dental devices market.

Thus, due to the increasing awareness of oral care, increasing incidences of dental diseases, and innovation in dental products, the studied market is expected to witness growth due to these factors. However, the high cost of surgeries can impact the growth of the UAE dental devices market.
