Dental 3D Printing Devices Market By Equipment (3D Scanner, Printer) , By Technology (Stereolithography, LCD, FDM, SLS) By Material (Plastics, Metals) By Application (Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Implantology) By End User (Dental Labs, Hospitals, Clinics) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
Dental 3D Printing Devices Market
The dental 3D printing devices market was valued at $8.9 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $52.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 19.4% from 2024 to 2033.
Dental 3D printing is a revolution in dentistry as it allows for efficient, precise, and customizable solutions for several dental procedures. The technique uses advanced additive manufacturing technologies in dental 3D printers to create precise dental models, crowns, dentures, bridges, surgical guides, and clear aligners. The process of 3D printing involves digital scanning of a patient's mouth to design the model using specialized software. Biocompatible materials such as resin or ceramics are used to print models, ensuring safety and durability. Dental 3D printing is known for its cost-effectiveness as the material waste generated is minimal and labor costs are significantly lower in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods.
Increase in the incidence of dental problems such as tooth decay, dental injuries, and periodontal diseases is one of the key drivers of the dental 3D printing market. Moreover, individuals have become highly aware regarding their oral health over the years, hence leading to surge in demand for dental services, including dental 3D printing. Currently, the usage of dual nozzle printing technology is gaining prominence as it supports dual-color 3D prosthetics which imitate the shades of teeth and gums.
However, the cost of procuring a 3D printer is a significant expense which deters several small-scale dental practitioners from investing. In addition, the conventional dental manufacturing procedures, including milling and casting, have a widespread adoption which poses a significant challenge for the dental 3D printing technique to extend its influence. On the contrary, there are several lucrative opportunities in the market indicating its promising future ahead. For instance, the assimilation of 3D printing with digital scanning techniques is helping to streamline the workflow in dental practices and laboratories. According to an article by Dentsply Sirona, a global dental equipment manufacturer, adoption of digital workflows in dentistry is making practices highly efficient and is improving patient treatment outcomes.
