Global Dental Services Market Scope:

Type Analysis

Dental implants dominated the market in 2021. It held a 23% revenue share. The dental implant is a sophisticated oral procedure that offers patients functionally and aesthetically feasible options for tooth restoration. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (AAOMS) estimates that around 70% of adults between 35 and 44 have lost at most one permanent tooth due to decay, disease, or accident. Implant demand is increasing. Research and development in dental implants have increased over the last few years. They are expected to continue expanding in the future with improved biomaterials, surface modifications, and implant designs. Due to the increasing use of cosmetic dentistry, the segment will see the greatest growth between 2023 and 2032. Cosmetic dental procedures include teeth bleaching to remove discolorations and staining. Patients also prefer veneers, inlays, and ontolays, composite bonding, and crowns to enhance their oral appearance.

End-Use Analysis

The dental clinic segment dominated the market in 2021, with a revenue share of 66.0%. It is expected to grow at the fastest pace between 2023 and 2032. Because of the availability of specialists, most dental patients choose private clinics. Their owners own more than 80% of dental practices. Globally, the number of independent dental practices is increasing. This trend will continue over the next few years due to cost efficiency, availability of specialists, and technologically advanced equipment. The initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic caused many problems in the dental care market. Dentists were at high risk of spreading infection. During the initial phase, no dental clinics were operating. The practices are now operating as normal. Dental professionals need to be aware of the latest guidelines that must be followed to prevent the spread of the virus.

Market Dynamics:

The American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute (HPI) data shows that the dental sector was at a halt due to COVID-19. This is because dental practices were only allowed to treat emergency cases during the initial stages of the pandemic. The ADA or American Dental Association issued general guidance in March 2020 to delay elective dental procedures. The ADA stated that routine cleanings, radiographs, and cosmetic procedures could delay the following procedures. Oral examinations, pain management, routine cleanings, radiographs, and orthodontic treatments. Dental emergencies included tooth fractures, abnormal tissue biopsies, oral bleeding, facial trauma, pain management, and dental or facial trauma.

Recommendations from dentists have been instrumental in driving demand for different dental services. The shift in marketing efforts to market the practices includes online advertising campaigns, free dental camps, and education programs. Dental equipment manufacturers have been encouraged to invest in R&D to create and capitalize on new technologies due to the many unmet needs in the area of oral care. More patients will be able to access services as more innovative products are introduced in the future. The launch of TeleDentistry in the United States by Pacific Dental Services (PDS), an international dental support company, was announced in April 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic continues, putting pressure on hospitals and urgent care centers. TeleDentistry platform launch is expected to make a positive difference in the community.

The steady increase in disposable incomes has resulted from the global economic boom and rapid urbanization. The per capita healthcare spending is expected to rise in the coming years. Market growth is expected to be aided by the millennial population’s rising health and wellness consciousness.

Regional Analysis

North America was the dominant market in 2021, with a revenue share of 47.0%. This is due to factors such as preventive care for oral hygiene and the existence of independent clinics, increasing R&D in dentistry, and rising disposable income. Market growth is likely to be aided by the increasing government funding of dental programs. As patients tend to spend less out-of-pocket, the U.S. federal funding of Medicare & Medicaid will likely increase the demand for oral care services.

The Asia Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth between 2023 and 2032. This is due to the increasing number of dental clinics, growing dental tourism, increased R&D in manufacturing, and growing awareness about oral health. Most of the Asia Pacific dental practices are private. Modern technology is transforming the healthcare infrastructure of Asia Pacific. Many companies and governments from countries like India and China are taking initiatives to increase awareness about dental care. My Dental Plan, for example, announced in June 2021 that it would open 4,000 additional clinics and expand its reach to 250 more cities by 2021.

Market Share & Key Players Analysis:

Many countries closed their dental practices due to social distancing guidelines imposed in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The business has suffered from the decline of the dental care industry. Service providers are now looking for innovative ways to improve patient care. Aspen Dental’s digital check-in platform was launched in June 2020. It is now available at their 820 offices across 41 states. Patients will be able to manage their dental appointments conveniently through this platform.

The expansion of geographic markets is another factor that dental care practices use to increase their market share. According to the July 2021 article, the UK Dental Group intends to open 400 franchise clinics in the country within three years. Patients will be discouraged from traveling abroad to receive dental treatment, and the waiting times at these additional clinics should reduce. These clinics will also offer home services for those with limited mobility. The clinics will be able to provide high-quality dental care to more people by extending their reach across the U.K.
