Global Dental Mirrors Market Scope and Report Structure
Market Trends and Drivers
Around the world, there is an increase in the occurrence of dental and oral problems such as dry mouth, tooth loss, infection in the root canal, dental trauma, and cavities. The Global Burden of Disease 2019 report from the WHO estimates that 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral illnesses, particularly dental cavities. The demand for dental operations to correct dental issues such as overbites, overcrowding, and gaps between teeth has increased due to the rising number of dental problems, which in turn is fueling the market for dental mirrors. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), periodontal disease affects around 47.2% of people in the US over the age of 30, and its prevalence rises with age, reaching about 70.1% of adults over the age of 65.
Additionally, oral diseases are more common among people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and this incidence is rising as urbanization and lifestyles change. A study by the University of Gondar, Ethiopia, found that in 2020, the prevalence rate of oral disorders, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, was 40.98%; for Ethiopia, it was 52.4%; for Sudan and Kenya, it was 50.3%; and for Tanzania, it was 40.2%. This high incidence is generally brought on by inadequate exposure to fluoride in water supplies or dental hygiene products, the availability of foods high in sugar, and limited access to oral health services in the neighborhood.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The worldwide dental mirror market is expected to have slow growth due to the high cost of dental operations and people's lack of commitment to regular dental checkups.
