Dental Liners and Bases Market Expected to Reach $1,995.14 Million by 2030 | CAGR of 4.1%

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Dental Liners and Bases Market by Material and End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030," the global dental liners and bases market size was valued at $1,322.64 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $1,995.14 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.  

Dental liners are composed of materials that can be applied in thin layers over exposed dentine during cavity preparation that can reduce or completely avoid the influx of bacteria and irritants from restorative procedures Dental bases, on the other hand, are made from materials that can be applied to the floor of the cavity preparation in a relatively thicker consistency.

Dentists use dental liners/bases to improve the outcome of dental caries treatment as well as other dental restoration procedures. Dental material manufacturers are constantly introducing new versions of existing products (including the addition of polymers and silver in the prime material) and research is being conducted to assess the efficacy of these newly introduced dental liners/bases. As the number of dental restoration procedures has increased, so has the demand for new dental liners/bases materials. Furthermore, bactericidal dental liners/bases materials have experienced increase in demand over the years, which is expected to propel the market growth.

The growth of the dental liners and bases market is majorly driven due to rise in prevalence of dental caries across the globe mainly due to consumption of unhealthy acidic food, sweets, and reduction in oral care. Furthermore, rise in geriatric population, growth in number of patients especially children with dental caries significantly boost the market growth.

Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) report from 2021, 1 in every 6 people globally will be 60 or older by 2030. This proportion of the population aged 60 and beyond is expected to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2050. Thus, escalating geriatric population will generate more demand for dental liners and bases as dental caries tends to increase in old age.

Moreover, in 2021, Prevest DenPro Limited launched calcium hydroxide cavity liners, which are used in dental filing materials, cements, and other base materials as a direct or indirect pulp capping agent and as a protective liner. It has no side effect on composite filling material polymerization.  Thus, launch of such products is expected to drive the market.

However, risk of infections associated with the dental pulp in dental restoration procedures and side effects associated with the reinforced materials for the development of dental liners/bases are expected to impede the dental liners and bases market growth. Conversely, high market potential in the untapped emerging economies, rise in various product launches, partnerships, collaborations among the government & key players, and development of pipeline products are expected to provide many opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

By material type, the market is segmented into zinc oxide eugenol, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomers, and others. The zinc oxide eugenol segment generated maximum revenue in 2020, accounting $527.28 million. The resin-modified glass ionomers segment is expected to witness highest CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into hospitals, dental clinics, and research & academic institutes. The dental clinics segment generated maximum revenue in 2020, accounting $671.31 million. The research & academic institutes segment is expected to witness highest CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

North America accounted for a majority of the global dental liners and bases market share in 2020, and is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in prevalence of dental caries, surge in patients demanding premium quality & high-priced dental restoration products, presence of key players, and rise in healthcare expenditure in the region. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness notable growth, owing to high population base, increase in disposable income, and improvement in patient awareness towards dental hygiene & dental restoration procedures.
