Australia Dental Devices Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

Australia Dental Devices Market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2022-2027). Major factors propelling the growth of the Australian market for dental devices include the increasing geriatric population, rising dental diseases in the country, and innovation in dental devices.

COVID-19 had a huge impact on dentistry industry in Australia. As the COVID-19 pandemic began, dentistry has witnessed several changes in terms of both public and private dental services. Around 85% of the dental care in Australia is provided through private practice, as stated by the report from The University of Sydney 2021. In this environment, the dental industry faced severe facemask shortages as the global supply fell and other health services boosted their use of masks. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) created policy and recommendations in March 2020 for the management of COVID-19 risk in dental offices. This includes guidance on patient screening, suitable infection control measures, and personnel protective equipment. To give the profession stepwise direction in the event of a potential escalation of COVID-19 in the community, the ADA took the initiative to design a treatment and triage framework. However, dental care visits in the country were reduced drastically during the pandemic which resulted in the regression of the market studied.

As per the data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) 2021, the recurrent expenditure on dental care in Australia was around USD 9.5 billion for the year 2019-2020. The high expenditure on dental services indicates that the market for dental devices is well-equipped in the country. Due to the increasing aging population in Australia, there has been an increase in the number of dental implants and oral surgeries being performed. For instance, data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare indicate that during the year 2020, around 16% of the Australian population was aged 60 years and above. The data also stated that there will be considerable growth in the geriatric population in near future. As old people are more prone to dental abnormalities. it is expected that the aging population in the country will play a crucial role in the dental devices market growth.

Increasing dental diseases is also a major factor propelling the growth of the market studied in Australia. For instance, as per the report published in 2021 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the average number of teeth affected by dental caries per person in Australia increased with age, from an average of 4.1 in 15–34-year-old to 10.3 in 35–54-year-old, 19.4 in 55–74-year-old and 24.4 in people aged 75 and older in 2019–20.

Therefore, with the above-mentioned factors, it is understood that the dental device market has several driving factors in Australia that are contributing to the increased demand for dental devices. However, the increasing cost of dental surgeries in the country and rising usage of refurbished dental devices are some of the factors restraining the market growth in Australia.

Key Market TrendsProsthodontics Segment is Expected to Show Better Growth in the Forecast Years

Prosthodontics also called dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry is the area of dentistry that focuses on dental prostheses. The main factor attributing to the growth of the prosthodontics segment is the increasing demand for dental prostheses across the country and the rising number of people getting older.

On 3rd June 2022, there was a 3rd Annual Australian Digital Dentistry Conference held in Sydney. With presentations on solutions in everything from restorative dentistry and prosthodontics to orthodontics, digital dentures, and more, the goal of Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2022 was to provide the people working in dentistry with expert knowledge about the digital world. Topics covered ranged from intraoral scanning and 3D imaging, the latest software being used, clinical diagnostics, and chairside solutions, to the laboratory with 3D printing, milling, software, and more. By organizing these conferences, people across the country are becoming more up-to-date with the latest trends in dentistry and are implementing new technologies in dental care which is ultimately helping the prosthodontics segment grow as prosthodontics is a complex procedure that can be eased with the help of technology.

Australia has several dedicated prosthodontic institutions or organizations that focus majorly on the development of novel techniques regarding dental prosthetics. Some of those include the Australian Prosthodontic Society, Center for Prosthodontics, and Sydney Prosthodontic Group, among others. The presence of these organizations has created enough awareness about prosthodontics in Australian people. As a result, more people are inclined toward this area of dentistry for their dental problems. Prosthodontics has a wide application in the dental problem that has been caused by defective or missing teeth. The rising number of dental practitioners in Australia, the presence of a high-quality healthcare system, and increasing awareness among people regarding treatment option is also expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.
