Dental Consumables Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product (Implants, Prosthetics, Orthodontics, Endodontics, Infection Control, Periodontics, Whitening Products, Finishing Products, Sealants, Splints), End Users (Hospitals & Clinics, Dental Laboratories, Others), and Region
The dental consumables market was valued at USD 30.6 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 75.3 billion in 2031 at a CAGR of 9.4% during the projection period.
Dental consumables are used in almost all dental procedures coupled with major dental surgical procedures. Many organic and inorganic materials are used in the manufacturing of surgery-related dental consumables. For example, ceramics, compacted golds, glass ionomers, and bonding agents. Dental consumables comprise orthodontics and endodontics, which are used in root canal therapy, temporary dressings, and dental restorations like crowns, fillings and bridges, impression materials, dental implants, and prosthetic material. Factors like unhealthy diets, chewing tobacco, and alcohol consumption are anticipated to boost the number of oral diseases, in turn fueling the demand for oral consumables.
Global Dental Consumables Market Scope and Report Structure
Market Trends and Challenges
The key factor attributing to the growth of the market is the rising incidence of dental illness. Dental caries or tooth decay is a common ailment across all age groups, with the global incidence of decayed and missing teeth (DMT) increasing in recent years. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (2017), oral diseases affect 3.5 billion people worldwide, with 2.3 billion people suffering from caries of permanent teeth and 530 million children suffering from caries of primary teeth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, 64.9% of adults aged above 18 years of age had a dental examination or dental cleaning procedure. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, more than 36 million Americans are completely edentulous, and around 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. The number of partially edentulous patients is anticipated to rise to more than 200 million Americans in the next 15 years. Single crowns to replace a missing tooth were the most common restorative procedure, with approximately 2.3 million implant-supported crowns being made every year. With a trivial increase in the global incidence of DMT, dental caries or tooth decay is a common condition today.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The key factor hindering the market growth is the high risk and complications associated with dental bridges and orthodontic treatment. Dental bridge treatments and orthodontic treatments are widely used around the globe. Still, their adoption is largely restricted by the greater oral hygiene requirements in treated patients and the dental & periodontal complications associated with these treatments. Special interdental brushes for cleaning dental bridges and orthodontic brushes for braces are presently available in the market. Still, regular dental care requires routine cleaning of the teeth after every meal and creates hassles in terms of maintaining dental hygiene. Additionally, dental bridges can damage the bone surrounding the previous teeth, thus weakening the bone structure. This significantly raised the chances of accumulation of dental plaque around the teeth and, in turn, increases the risk of tooth decay and associated gum diseases. Dental bridges also require the grinding of the surrounding teeth to prepare the pontic. However, grinding reduces teeth strength and increases the chances of dental bridge failure, resulting in frequent replacement.

Major Players in Dental Consumables Market
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has also raised the need for social distancing among physicians and other healthcare professionals. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, many imaging and diagnostic departments have witnessed a rapid decline in dental consumables case volumes. This decline has important implications on the short-term and long-term economic stability across all practice settings. According to a study by the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR), an overall 28% decline in the total imaging volume over a week period during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to 2019, was observed, comprising all patient service locations and imaging modality types. The true impact that COVID-19 has had on the dental consumables industry still remains to be seen in 2021 as hospitals and imaging facilities strive to cope under the circumstances of the world slowly reopening post isolation of almost a year. Non-essential imaging exams and procedures were postponed until further notice in almost all countries. Medical professionals are still unsure of the new business model but have been dedicating most of their time and resources to meet expectations. The key vendors in this market, like Carl Zeiss, Abbott Laboratories, Canon, Koninklijke Philips, and PerkinElmer, Inc., had faced severe problems owing to mismanagement in the supply chain of their solutions; these impacts were seen during the first two quarters, though, after the 3rd quarter, vendors strategized new plans to overcome these.
