MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Drivers

Increasing Burden of Dental Ailments to Drive Market Growth

Over the past few years, the increased patient pool of dental ailments such as tooth decay, edentulism, periodontitis, and others has significantly increased patient visits to dental professionals. This has further increased the volume of dental procedures, including root canals, dental implants, and others, necessitating the usage of dental consumables such as crowns, veneers, and others.

• For instance, according to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in October 2024, there were around 23 million cases of edentulism in China in 2021.

Additionally, the aging population and poor dental hygiene in emerging countries of the Asia Pacific are expected to increase the susceptibility to dental diseases, which is further expected to increase the need for treatment. Such a scenario is anticipated to drive dental equipment and consumables utilization, driving the Asia Pacific dental market growth over the forthcoming years.

Market Restraints

Availability of Limited Skilled Professionals to Hamper Market Growth

Despite a rising demand for advanced dental care, particularly cosmetic and restorative procedures, the Asia Pacific region is facing a significant shortage of qualified dentists and dental technicians. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are facing challenges in maintaining a consistent supply of adequately trained dental practitioners due to limited seats in dental colleges and underfunded training infrastructure. Additionally, rural and semi-urban areas remain underserved due to an uneven geographic distribution of professionals.

• For instance, according to an article published by the Royal Dental Clinic in February 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) data reported that India had only one dentist for every 10,000 people, with an even lower ratio in rural areas.

This scarcity has impeded the timely adoption of modern dental technologies and is expected to restrict the penetration of specialized products such as orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implants. In such a way, the availability of limited skilled professionals is expected to hinder the Asia Pacific market growth.

Market Opportunities

Growing Demand for Aesthetic Dentistry to Offer Lucrative Growth Opportunity

In recent years, the popularity of aesthetic dentistry has been rising significantly in the region. This is primarily fueled by increasing disposable incomes, growing awareness of dental aesthetics, and a shift toward appearance enhancement across China, India, South Korea, and Japan. As a result, consumers are spending more of their income toward elective dental procedures, including teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners.

Moreover, the promotion of aesthetic dentistry procedures via online platforms and the rising popularity of cosmetic influencers have strengthened the demand for visually appealing smiles, particularly among the younger population. This is encouraging more people to seek orthodontic and restorative treatments.

Additionally, advancements in dental materials and minimally invasive procedures have made aesthetic treatments more accessible and affordable. As a result, dental clinics and practitioners are increasingly investing in aesthetic technologies to meet patient expectations, which is expected to offer a lucrative opportunity for manufacturers of cosmetic dental products to expand their presence in the Asia Pacific market.

Market Challenges

High Dental Equipment Cost to Pose a Major Challenge to Market Expansion

Despite the availability of advanced dental equipment, the high installation cost of these instruments and software may pose a major challenge for smaller facilities, such as solo practices in Asia Pacific. For instance, according to Unicorn Denmart Ltd, as recorded in July 2025, the 3Shape Trios 3 Move+ intraoral scanner (with Trios 3 without a laptop) costs around USD 19,244.4 in India.

Such a high cost of advanced equipment is projected to create a huge economic burden on the region's healthcare systems, thereby posing a major challenge to its adoption. Additionally, the comparatively lower expenditure on dental equipment by emerging countries such as India and Southeast Asian countries is anticipated to challenge the adoption of specialized products and limit the Asia Pacific market growth during the forecast period.

ASIA PACIFIC DENTAL MARKET TRENDS

Rising Adoption of CAD/CAM Technologies in Dentistry

Currently, there is a growing adoption of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies in dentistry in the Asia Pacific region. This shift is being driven by increasing demand for precise, efficient, and aesthetically superior dental restorations, coupled with rising patient awareness and expectations for advanced dental care. CAD/CAM systems have enabled dental professionals to deliver same-day restorations, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance workflow efficiency in China, Japan, South Korea, and India.

In addition, the increasing number of dental laboratories and clinics is integrating CAD/CAM technologies, supported by favorable government initiatives and investments in healthcare infrastructure. In response to this increasing adoption of digital technologies, the domestic and international players are also expanding their footprints in the untapped areas of the Asia Pacific by launching and supplying affordable, entry-level CAD/CAM systems. For instance, in May 2025, Unicorn DenMart opened its brand-new Showroom & Service Center in Kochi to provide dental equipment and solutions, including CAD-CAM systems and intraoral scanners.

Such a trend of CAD/CAM machine dentistry is reshaping the scenario of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

Postponement of Elective Procedures Negatively Affected Industry Expansion

In 2020, the market witnessed negative growth due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth was mainly attributed to postponed elective procedures, including orthodontic procedures, which led to the decreased usage of dental products. Moreover, the supply chain disruption led to decreased availability of products, which reduced the market growth.

However, the patient visits to dental clinics increased in 2021 due to the relaxation of lockdown restrictions. This led to increased demand for dental devices, thereby propelling market growth significantly in 2021. Moreover, the market is expected to witness substantial growth due to increasing awareness of dental disorders and treatment options, contributing to the utilization of dental devices.

SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS

By Type

Increased Orthodontic and Implant Procedures to Fuel Dental Consumables Segment Growth

Based on type, the market is segmented into dental consumables and dental equipment.

The dental consumables segment held the largest share in 2024. The segment's growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of dental issues such as tooth loss, periodontitis, malocclusion, facial asymmetry, and others, which has surged the demand for dental procedures, including orthodontics and implantation. This, in turn, has led to increased demand for consumables such as clear aligners, conventional braces, dental implants, and others, which is expected to influence key players to expand their footprint with newly launched products in the Asia Pacific.

• For instance, according to a study published by the NCBI in January 2021, the pooled prevalence of malocclusion was reported to be 35.4% among children aged 8–15 years in India.

The dental equipment segment accounted for a comparatively lower share in 2024. The growth is attributed to the increasing focus of key players toward launching digital dentistry equipment in the Asia Pacific region due to the high demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures. These initiatives by key players are expected to increase product availability at affordable costs, thereby increasing competition and the purchase rate of dental equipment such as CAD/CAM machines, intraoral scanners, and other equipment in dental care facilities.

Solo Practices Segment Dominated Due to Increasing Patient Visits to Solo Practitioners

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into solo practices, DSO/group practices, and others.

The solo practices segment dominated the market in 2024. There has been a surge in patient visits to solo practices due to increased demand for treating dental issues, such as cavities and gum disease. These settings offer perceived benefits such as personalized care, stronger patient-dentist relationships, and convenience, attracting more patients. Such a scenario has propelled the utilization of dental equipment and consumables in these settings.

• For instance, according to data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in December 2022, the overall pooled estimate of dental care utilization in the Indian adult population was estimated as 23.96% between the period from 2011 to 2022.

The DSO/group practices segment held the second-largest market share in 2024. The growth is attributed to the increasing preference of dentists to affiliate with DSOs to reduce their financial burdens. DSOs are offering higher resources and managing various functions, thereby helping dentists to focus more on clinical work, such as dental imaging and interventional procedures. As a result, more dentists are affiliating with DSOs to streamline their routine tasks.

ASIA PACIFIC DENTAL MARKET REGIONAL OUTLOOK

China

China dominated the Asia Pacific market in 2024. The China dental market size stood at USD 2.62 billion in 2024. The growth is attributed to robust healthcare infrastructure and the availability of a large number of dentists to cater to the significant demand for dental procedures across the country. Such conditions are offering a favorable scenario for key players to launch advanced products in China, further expanding their footprint and increasing product penetration. Moreover, a surge in the utilization of 3D printing technology for fabricating dental products and the adoption of cloud-based and web-based management platforms for appointment scheduling, billing, and clinical records have streamlined the workflow of dental professionals in the country.

Japan

Japan accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for implants and orthodontic procedures, coupled with increasing dental care spending per capita in the country. This is expected to support the willingness of individuals to spend more on advanced treatments and, in turn, spur the utilization of advanced dental products in Japan's dental care settings over the forthcoming years. For instance, in July 2025, the Department of Oral Implantology and Regenerative Dental Medicine, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, mentioned that over 1,500 implants are placed yearly in this clinic.
