The global market for dental care equipment is projected to have a CAGR of around 5.3% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry and the rising prevalence of dental caries due to the growing geriatric population estimated to be the major factors that are driving the growth of the market. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in 2019, there were 703 million persons aged 65 years or over in the global population. This number is projected to double to 1.5 billion in 2050. Further, increasing medical and dental tourism in emerging economies such as India, Thailand and Malaysia are also estimated to contribute significantly towards the growth of the market. The consumption of harmful substances such as tobacco or alcohol, an unhealthy diet, and a high intake of sugar is the leading cause of periodontal problems due to which demand for an effective dental care system arises in the market. Apart from this, the initiatives taken by the government for public oral healthcare, and innovation in dental technologies by major market players also propels the growth of the dental care equipment market. The dental care equipment market had faced a downfall due to the Covid-19. To maintain the decorum of social distancing, transportation and other services were stopped that impacted badly on the market growth resulting in the down in the market. The market is expected to regain its growth during the forecast period.

However, the high cost of dental equipment and lack of awareness for dental care in emerging economies are estimated to be the major constraints in the market growth. Massive investment is needed in setting up a dental clinic due to the high cost of the dental chair, X-ray machines, vacuum, and compressor. For instance, a dental chair may cost in the range of $5,000-$20,000 which can affect price-sensitive regions such as India and Africa. Besides these restraints, rising disposable incomes in emerging regions and technological advancement are expected to develop significant growth opportunities for the dental care equipment market.
