Rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, and the adoption of dental 3D printers in hospitals & clinics, and rising dental tourism is expected to drive the market
The global dental practice management market is projected to reach 6.7Billion in 2028 from USD 3.0 Billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 17.5% between 2023 and 2028.
The market is anticipated to grow as a result of development of technologically advanced dental 3D printing materials and equipment, and rise in demand for advanced cosmetic dental procedures, among other factors.
3D dental printing also offers advantages such as reduced product development time for dental appliances, superior-quality complex parts and products, and mass personalization, which boost the demand for 3D printing in dentistry. On the other hand, an unfavorable reimbursement scenario, and stringent regulatory process for the approval of 3D printing equipment are expected to limit market growth to a certain extent.
By material type, the plastics segment was the largest segment in the Dental 3D Printing Materials market in 2022
By material type, the Dental 3D Printing market is segmented into plastics, metals, and other materials.
The reason is the affordability and versatility of plastics in dental 3D printing. On the basis of product & service, the dental 3D printing market is divided into services, materials and equipment. Out of these, materials are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the numerous advancements in the field and demand for materials that can be used for 3D printing of permanent restorations.
Among Applications, the implantology segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment from 2023 to 2028
Out of the applications, implantology is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028.
This can be attributed to growing preference for manufacturing dental implants using 3D printing, the advantages offered by 3D-printed dental implants, and the increasing application of 3D printing in dental implantology.
The prosthodontics segment accounts the highest share in the market. This huge, and growing, consumer base, the introduction of advanced technologies such as CAD/CAM, and the rising adoption of dental 3D printers & scanners have significantly improved prosthetic dentistry procedures, and are expected to drive the dental 3D printing market for prosthodontics during the forecast period.
