The dental milling machine is used in the milling and grinding of 3D objects. Dental milling machine is used to design and manufacture artificial dental prosthetics. Dental milling machine produce highly accurate and precise dental restorations by using different materials such as ceramics, zirconia, alloys, and resins.
Market Dynamics
In addition, as per World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, it was reported that around 19% of the global population is affected by periodontal disease. Hence, dental restoration is recommended as a treatment for missing teeth, gum disease, and dental caries. Thus, the increasing need for dental restoration procedure further increases the demand for dental milling machine.
The rise in the geriatric population who are suffering from dental diseases drives the growth of dental milling machine market share. According to Henry Schein’s annual report 2021, in the dental industry, there is predicted to be a rise in oral health care expenditures as the 45-and-older segment of the population increases. There is increasing demand for new technologies that allow dentists to increase productivity, and this is being driven in the U.S. by lower insurance reimbursement rates. At the same time, there is an expected increase in dental insurance coverage. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, between 2021 and 2031, the 45 and older population is expected to grow by approximately 11%. Between 2021 and 2041, this age group is expected to grow by approximately 22%. This compares with expected total U.S. population growth rates of approximately 7% between 2021 and 2031 and approximately 12% between 2021 and 2041.
The rise in awareness regarding oral health and digital dentistry has contributed to the growth of the dental milling machine market share. According to the Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, in 2023, it was reported that 92.7% of technicians and 98.9% of practitioners are aware about the use of digital dentistry.
In addition, increase in research activities, technological innovations in the dental milling machine, increase in demand for dental milling machine, and rise in use of dental milling machine are the key factors that drive the dental milling machine market growth in the developing countries such as India and China. Hence, such factors drive the growth of the dental milling machine market.
Recession 2023 Impact Analysis on Dental Milling Machine Market
During a recession, dental professionals may postpone or scale back plans to upgrade their existing equipment. Instead of investing in the latest models, they might opt to maintain and repair their current machines, which could impact the sales of new machines. Dental practices and laboratories reduced the purchase of new dental milling machines. This can lead to a decrease in demand for these machines as potential buyers become more cautious about their investments.
Patients reduced disposable income during a recession may lead to a decline in the demand for dental services, including restorative and cosmetic procedures. This, in turn, could reduce the demand for dental prosthetics and restorations created using milling machines. Dental laboratories, which are significant users of dental milling machines, may face challenges as dental practices cut back on outsourcing and reduce the volume of work they send to labs. This can have a cascading effect on the demand for milling machines.
Therefore, the recession is expected to temporarily affect the growth of dental milling machine market, however the growth of dental milling machine market during the forecast period remains insignificant. Furthermore, the dental milling machine market witnessed an incline in the sales of dental milling machine during forecast period, owing to increase in number of patients suffering from dental disease, technological advancement in dental milling machine, increase in number of dental practices, and rise in oral healthcare expenditure. Thus, such trends are expected to bring stabilization in the market, and subsequently are expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period.
