Dental CAD/CAM Materials & Systems Market Expected to Reach $6.7 Billion by 2030—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Dental CAD/CAM Materials & Systems Market,". The  dental CAD/CAM Materials & systems market size was valued at $2,265.9 million in 2020 and is estimated to reach $6,704.8 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.9% from 2021 to 2030. Dental CAD/CAM systems are computer-aided design and manufacturing systems used in dentistry for dental restoration procedures. Dental CAD/CAM materials are used in the fabrication of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. These materials are designed to be compatible with CAD/CAM systems and are often milled from a solid block of material using a computer-controlled milling machine. Some of the common CAD/CAM materials include zirconia, resin-based composites, and metals such as gold, silver, and cobalt-chrome.

The major factors driving the growth of the global dental CAD/CAM materials & systems market include increase in prevalence of dental disorder such as tooth decay, gum disease, dental crack, and dental cavities; surge in adoption of chair-side CAD/CAM system; and increase in demand for the dental restoration procedure. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, it was reported that around 19% of the global population is suffering from periodontal disease. Further, according to the Journal of National Library of Medicine, in May 2022, it was analyzed that around 50% of the populations visiting dental clinics are suffering from gingival or periodontal disease. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology is used to streamline the fabrication of a periodontal prosthesis.

In addition, advancement in technology in the dental industry and the presence of key manufacturers drive the dental CAD/CAM materials & systems market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, Planmeca OY, a global leader in healthcare technology, introduced Planmeca Romexis CAD/CAM module.

The Dental CAD/CAM Materials & Systems Market trends include rise in the number of product approvals. For instance, in September 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of A.B. Dental Devices Dental Implants System. The AB dental CAD/CAM base abutments and adhesive sleeves are dental prosthetics that are placed onto a dental implant to provide support for dental prosthetic restoration.

In addition, increase in lifestyle changes such as poor access to oral health care services in the community, inadequate exposure to fluoride (in the oral hygiene products such as toothpaste, and water supply), and availability and affordability of food with high sugar content results in various oral health conditions. A sedentary lifestyle makes people susceptible to having many dental disorders such as dental caries, tooth loss and gum disease. These diseases surge the need for various dental procedures and increase the demand for CAD/CAM materials & systems. Thus, the increase in sedentary lifestyle is expected to increase the adoption of dental restoration products and thus, propel the growth of the market.

Furthermore, the rise in geriatric population who are more prone to teeth related problems is one of the major factors that drives the growth of the market. Moreover, the increase in demand for cosmetic dentistry, owing to high disposable income and focus of individuals on aesthetic appearance fuels the growth of the market.

The increase in awareness regarding oral health among the population boosts the need for dental care and increases the demand for dental restoration products such as dental CAD/CAM materials and systems. This has encouraged many dental CAD/CAM materials industry to enter the emerging markets, thus offering lucrative growth opportunities in the dental CAD/CAM materials and systems market.

However, the high cost of dental CAD/CAM materials and systems hampers the growth of the market. On the basis of product, the market is classified into dental CAD and CAM materials, and dental CAD and CAM systems. The dental CAD/CAM systems segment was the largest revenue contributor to the market in 2020, owing to advancement in technology in dental industry and rise in adoption of chair-side CAD/CAM system.

Region wise, Europe has the highest dental CAD/CAM materials & systems market share in 2020, and is expected to maintain its lead during the forecast period, owing to increase in number of dental procedures, rise in adoption of filling materials in dental procedures, advancement in technology in the dental industry, and strong presence of key players in this region.

However, Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit fastest growth during the forecast period, owing to high prevalence of aging population with increased need of dental procedures, surge in prevalence of dental caries, and rise in awareness regarding oral health.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on the growth of the dental CAD/CAM materials and systems market due to implementation of lockdown to control spread of COVID-19.  According to the journal of multidisciplinary digital publishing institute (MDPI), in 2022, it was analyzed that 4.8% of the global dental CAD/CAM materials and systems market decreased in 2020.Thus, COVID-19 has a negative impact on the dental CAD/CAM material and system market size.

Key Findings Of The Study

• By product, the dental CAD and CAM systems segment dominated the market in 2020.
• By region, Europe dominated the market in 2020. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
