According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Dental Chair Market by Product, Type, Component, Application, and End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030," the global dental chair market size was valued at $593.73 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $862.93 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% from 2021 to 2030.

The dental chair-mounted design segment accounted for one-third of the total market share in 2020. Dental chair (dental treatment unit) is inevitably required by dentists to ensure appropriate patient care. These chairs are designed depending upon the size and the capacity of medical setups. In addition, they are essentially employed across various applications in the field of dentistry, including dental surgeries, dental examinations, orthodontic applications, cosmetic dentistry, and endodontic applications. Development of sophisticated dental chairs that enable practitioners or dentists to streamline their daily tasks has supplemented the dental chair market growth.

Upsurge in incidence of oral diseases among both adults and pediatric population has considerably driven the demand for dental chairs across the globe. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2020, approximately 47.2% of adults aged 30 years and older have some form of periodontal disease and about 70.1% of adults aged above 65 years suffer from oral disease. Such high incidences of oral diseases in the country has fueled the demand for dental chairs, thereby accelerating the market growth.

Technological advancements in constructing dental chairs with comfortable designs and latest upgradable features in the dental chairs have boosted the market growth. In addition, introduction of dental chairs that are customized for patient comfort has increased their adoption in hospitals and dental clinics. A remarkable increase in the prevalence rate of oral disease considerably impacted the dental chair market. Furthermore, rise in dental tourism has resulted in an increased demand for sophisticated and advanced dental chairs in countries of Asia-Pacific, which is projected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion. However, reimbursement issues toward dental equipment and products are expected to restrain the market growth.

The dental chair-mounted design segment generated the highest revenue in 2020, and is expected to maintain the dominance throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to high adoption of dental chair-mounted design in the open dental rooms offering best utilization of the available space. However, ceiling-mounted design segment is anticipated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period, as these chairs are installed with a dental engine, and all necessary components are attached to the chair. Thus, it serves as an ergonomic design for dentists/practitioners having small offices and setups.

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into examination, surgery, orthodontic applications, and others. Examination dental chairs segment has registered the highest growth rate, and is anticipated to continue this trend in the near future. This is attributed to rise in focus on oral hygiene among people during the dental examination procedures. However, the use of dental chairs for cosmetic dentistry and endodontic applications has gained significant momentum in recent years, thus driving the market growth.

Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate throughout the forecast period. The region offers lucrative opportunities for players that operate in the dental chair market, owing to its high population base, increase in disposable income, and improvement in patient awareness toward oral hygiene. In addition, countries such as India and China serve as the major contributors, as the dental market is continuously evolving in these countries.
