Dental 3D Printing Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

The Dental 3D Printing Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 25% during the forecasted period. The dental 3D printing medical devices market is primarily driven by factors such as the high incidence of dental caries and other dental diseases, rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, the growing adoption of dental 3D printers in hospitals and clinics, and rapid growth in the geriatric population.

Dental technicians and clinicians are progressively turning receptive to digital dentistry, which is opening lucrative avenues for manufacturers of 3D printers to progress with a customized, rather than standardized approach in the dental 3D printing market. Development of customized dental models such as bridges, crowns, implants, and dentures is offering better patient outcomes, and, in turn, boosting the reliance of dentists on printed prosthetics. Oral diseases affect half of the world's population (3.6 billion people), making them the most common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Dental caries (tooth decay) in the permanent teeth is the most prevalent oral disease, with an estimated XX billion people affected.

Based on Product, the market is segmented into Materials, Equipment, Software & Services. The equipment segment is further divided into dental scanners and printers while Materials is studied into Polymers, Ceramics, Metals and Others. The large share of the equipment segment can be attributed to the competitive pricing offered by dental 3D printer's providers and the large-scale outsourcing of dental product design and production by small hospitals, dental clinics, and laboratories

Based on Technology, the dental 3D printing market is segmented into VAT Photopolymerization, Fused Deposition Modeling, Selective Laser Sintering, Polyjet Printing, and Other technologies. The fused deposition modeling segment contributed the maximum market to the dental 3D printing market. In dentistry, FDM is a widely applied technology due to the availability of a wide range of biocompatible, strong, and sterilizable thermoplastics. The ability of the FDM machine to use several materials simultaneously makes it useful for printing removable dentures and prosthetics. Moreover, low machine and material prices also support their adoption.

Based on Application, the dental 3D market is segmented into prosthodontics, implantology and orthodontics. Prosthodontics holds the highest share in the dental 3D printing market. The prosthodontics segment can primarily be attributed to the growing demand for crowns and bridges, rising prevalence of dental caries, increasing incidence of tooth loss, and increasing customer acceptance of advanced dental technologies.

For a better understanding of the market of Dental 3D Printing, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide adoption in the countries such as North America (US, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, Rest of Asia- Pacific), & Rest of World.

Some of the major players operating in the market include 3D Systems Corporation, Stratasys Ltd., EnvisionTEC Inc., DWS Systems, Concept Laser GmbH, Renishaw plc, EOS GMBH, FormLabs, DENTSPLY SIRONA, Straumann Group, etc. Several M&A's along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to boost their presence in different regions.
