Global Dental Chair Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Product Type, By Type, By Component (Chair, Dental Cuspidor, Dental Chair Handpiece, and Others), By End User, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Dental Chair Market size is expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 5.1% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 353.0 thousand units, experiencing a growth of 4.6% (2019-2022).

The proliferation of technological innovations has led to a surge in the utilization of dental chairs. Thus, the Chair segment acquired $448.2 million in 2022. The unique characteristics of the state-of-the-art dental chair enable the dentist and the patient to relax and concentrate during the procedure. Wireless connectivity and advanced features, including artificial intelligence (AI), are anticipated to increase the demand for dental chairs. The incorporation of AI and data analytics into dental chairs is increasing rapidly. Chairs supported by AI can analyze patient data and provide dentists with insightful information that facilitates treatment planning and decision-making. Additionally, data analytics can assist dental offices in streamlining processes and enhancing patient outcomes. Some of the factors impacting the market are rising oral healthcare awareness, growing dental tourism in emerging countries, and high costs of dental treatments.

According to the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), approximately 3.5 billion individuals are impacted by oral diseases, with three out of every four affected individuals residing in middle-income nations. Globally, caries of primary teeth affects 514 million children, and caries of permanent teeth affect an estimated 2 billion individuals. The global prevalence of the most prevalent oral diseases is rising due to the expansion of urban areas and the alterations in living conditions. Additionally, dental tourism is one of the most lucrative sectors within the healthcare tourism industry. This industry has expanded significantly recently, with developing countries, including Mexico, India, Poland, Hungary, and Turkey, rising as swiftly developing dental destinations. Increased infrastructure and reduced dental expenses in these countries relative to developed economies account for most of this industry's expansion. This entails the implementation of cutting-edge dental chairs that are outfitted with sophisticated features and technology to adhere to global benchmarks and provide a competitive advantage within the dental tourism sector. As a result, the expanding dental tourism industry substantially affects the market for dental chairs.

However, the high costs associated with dental treatments stem from a combination of factors related to technology, materials, expertise, compliance, operational expenses, and the complexity of treatments. Dental facilities and machinery are costly to acquire and incur substantial maintenance and repair expenses, which can sometimes soar. Because all patients prefer their dentists to collaborate with reputable laboratories for treatment, patients ultimately have to bear the cost of the laboratory, experienced laboratory technicians, cutting-edge technology, and advanced instruments. Consequently, the expansion of the market is hindered by the high cost of dental procedures.

Product Type Outlook

Based on product type, the market is bifurcated into powered and non-powered. In 2022, the non-powered segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market. Non-powered dental chairs are generally cost-effective. This affordability makes them a preferred choice, especially for smaller dental practices, new clinics, or those within budget constraints. These chairs are straightforward to operate, making them suitable for dental professionals who prefer simplicity and ease of use. The absence of complex mechanisms simplifies chair adjustments, allowing for quick and efficient patient positioning. Some dental practitioners prefer manual control over chair adjustments, as it allows for more tactile and precise positioning during treatments. This preference for hands-on adjustments drives the demand for non-powered chairs.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the market is divided into ceiling-mounted design, mobile-independent design, and dental chair-mounted design. The ceiling-mounted design segment recorded the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. As the name implies, every attachment is integrated into the ceiling, and the chair is positioned below these attachments. This provides an elevated viewpoint and additional floor space, which can alleviate ergonomic concerns such as neck strain caused by protracted periods of looking down at patients. Ceiling-mounted designs contribute to better infection control and hygiene. With fewer components in contact with the floor, maintaining cleanliness is more manageable, reducing the risk of contamination from floor contact. The benefits of using these chairs are the primary factor propelling the growth of the segment.

Component Outlook

Based on component, the market is categorized into chair, dental cuspidor, dental chair handpiece, and others. In 2022, the chair segment registered the highest revenue share in the market. The focus on patient-centric care has led to the demand for chairs designed for maximum patient comfort. Features like cushioning, adjustable positioning, and ergonomic support contribute to a positive patient experience, attracting patients to clinics with modern and comfortable equipment. Dental practices often seek chairs adaptable to various treatment modalities and patient needs. Chairs with durable construction, reliable mechanisms, and a reputation for longevity are sought after as they offer a good return on investment and reduce maintenance costs over time.

End User Outlook

Based on end user, the market is divided into hospitals, dental clinics, and research & academic institutions. In 2022, the dental clinics segment procured a remarkable revenue share in the market. Dental clinics are diversifying their services, offering a broader range of treatments and procedures. The demand drives the need for versatile dental chairs capable of accommodating various dental procedures, from routine check-ups to more complex treatments like endodontics or implantology. Efficient use of space is crucial in dental clinics, especially those with limited area. In this regard, dental chairs play a vital role in optimizing workflow efficiency within clinics.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the market is divided into surgery, examination, orthodontic application, and others. The examination segment procured the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. The usage of dental chairs in examination applications is propelled by their comfort, versatility, ergonomic design, integration with examination tools, patient accessibility, communication facilitation, space optimization, infection control measures, and incorporation of modern technology. In addition to detecting tooth decay, the examination assesses the condition of the gums and additional oral tissues. The examination also includes the evaluation of the alignment of bridges and dentures. Increasing rates of frequent patient visits are the segment's primary growth driver.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America region witnessed the maximum revenue share in the market in 2022. The demand for specialized dental chairs has increased due to consumers' heightened awareness regarding the therapeutic benefits associated with their use. Additionally, expanding dental clinics and practitioners is anticipated to stimulate the industry in the United States. It is expected that increased collaborations and partnerships among key market participants will continue to propel the market.
