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

The Netherlands Dental Devices Market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious challenges to healthcare systems and has largely been controlled by drastically cutting down in- and outpatient services for dental diseases and implementing infection prevention and control measures. The lockdown in the country has affected the supply chain of dental devices and equipment. The pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the dental devices market in the country. For instance, as per an article published by Europe PubMed Central, in September 2021, titled ‘Impact of the Coronavirus on Providing Oral Health Care in the Netherlands’, a cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted over a sample of dental hygienists and dentists in the Netherlands. It has been observed that patient access to oral health care was severely restricted during the lockdown in the spring of 2020, in the Netherlands. Thus, the increasing COVID-19 cases and the lockdown measures taken by the government have restricted dental services which have impacted the supply of dental devices, hence slowing down the market growth during a pandemic. However, with the resuming of dental services, and treatment, and releasing COVID-related restrictions in the country, the demand for dental care visits is expected to increase which in turn is anticipated to propel the demand for dental devices, thereby boosting the market growth over the forecast period.

Certain factors that are propelling the market growth are the increasing burden of oral diseases and rising aging population, and technological advancements in dentistry. For instance, according to the 2022 statistics published by the United Nations Population Fund, in the Netherlands, a large proportion of the living population is aged 15-64 and accounts for 64% in 2022. In addition, as per the same source, 21% of the population is aged 65 years and above in 2022. Thus, the geriatric population in the country is expected to increase the demand for dental treatment as they are more vulnerable to age-related dental conditions such as root or coronal caries, and periodontitis, which is expected to increase the demand for advanced devices to detect the dental problems, thereby propelling the market growth.

In addition, the presence of a high-quality healthcare system that is partially funded by the government and partially supplemented by private health providers in the country is also contributing to the growth of the market. Also, all the residents in the country must have private health insurance which covers basic dental procedures such as annual check-ups, cleaning, and caries treatment.

However, the high-cost sensitivity in dental products is likely to hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Key Market TrendsProsthodontic Segment Expects to Register a High CAGR in the Netherlands Dental Devices Market Over the Forecast Period

The prosthodontics segment is expected to witness significant growth in the Netherlands dental devices market over the forecast period owing to the higher adoption of prosthetics, the presence of a well-established healthcare system as well as reimbursement policies, and the growing population in the country.

As prosthodontic dentistry has a wide range of tools used for dental corrections, there is a huge application of prosthodontic equipment. There is an increasing demand for dental prostheses across developing and developed nations due to the rising number of elderly people. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, elective and prosthetic dental surgical procedures have been significantly impacted, with all specialties writing various guidelines on managing this crisis. Regulatory bodies have had to triage the urgency of their daily surgical procedures and consider non-surgical management options wherever possible, avoiding all non-emergent practices. However, once the pandemic subsides, the market segment is anticipated to boost to its pre-pandemic levels.

In addition, the dental reimbursement policies in the country are expected to increase the demand for dental treatment and services, which in turn is expected to increase the demand for devices for performing procedures, thereby propelling the market growth. The cost of dental care in the country mainly depends upon the treatment. For instance, a regular dental check-up costs around EUR 23.45, basic dental cleaning is EUR 13.84, and making and reviewing X-rays at EUR 17.28. The reimbursement covers 75% of the dental expenses in the Netherlands. Moreover, the country provides free dental care for children under the age of 18 under basic Dutch health insurance. Thus, the presence of a high-quality healthcare system and reimbursement policies is expected to increase the demand for dental procedures, which in turn is expected to increase the market growth over the forecast period.

Therefore, the due to aforementioned factors the studied market is expected to increase over the forecast period.
