Global Dentures Market Analysis

The Global Dentures Market size is expected to generate revenue of $ 3,212.1 million by 2031, growing from $ 1,696.2 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.8%.

Market Synopsis

The rise in the prevalence of tooth loss among people due to various causes such as poor oral health, accidents, and the prevalence of disorders such as edentulism is predicted to boost the global dentures market. Tooth loss is more common in adults over the age of 65 due to health risks associated with old age. The prevalence of edentulism is likewise increasing across the world, and it has become one of the primary health issues for the geriatric population. All these factors are anticipated to drive the dentures market revenue growth during the forecast period.

The high cost of treatment and dentures implant is likely to restrain the dentures market share growth. Dentures, either complete or partial, are expensive and it is difficult for people especially middle- or low-income people, to afford such high-priced dentures. This factor is anticipated to hamper market growth during the forecast period.

To fulfill the rise in the need for better healthcare facilities, several manufacturing companies are concentrating on expanding their denture product line and introducing new and improved denture goods. Such factors are expected to produce a number of growth opportunities for the major players operating in the dentures industry in the coming years.

According to the regional analysis of the market, the Asia-Pacific dentures market is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. In the region, the growing geriatric population and prevalence of tooth decay among millennials is the main factor estimated to drive the growth of the dentures market during the forecast period. The growth of the regional market is subjected to the rapid increase in cases of dental problems in middle-aged people and the development and adoption of technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD) by dental healthcare companies to produce dentures in shorter periods.

Dentures Overview

Dentures, widely known as false teeth, are custom-made prosthetic replacements for missing or lost teeth, which can replace upper or lower teeth or both. Dentures are custom-made and can be made to fit any mouth configuration based on a person's clinical, aesthetic, and financial needs. Dentures are manufactured using a range of raw materials, including acrylic gum-colored bases, flexible polyamide microcrystalline, chrome-cobalt, and a hybrid material that combines two types of material. These false teeth are convincing in their aesthetic replication of human teeth, with the addition of realistic-looking substitute teeth, that it is impossible to identify a well-made denture from a set of original teeth.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Dentures Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the expansion of the dentures market trends. Several patients purposefully postponed their routine medical and dentist visits due to the high rate of coronavirus transmission and the predominance of serious symptoms. To prevent the fatal infection from spreading, medical experts also rescheduled numerous dental procedures and limited outpatient visits. Several private dentistry clinics were shuttered due to the lockdown. These factors hampered the market share expansion for dentures during the pandemic.

Increase in Cases of Dental Issues to Surge the Market Growth

Currently, the prevalence of oral diseases continues to increase globally with growing urbanization and changes in living standards. As per the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), it is estimated that oral diseases affect close to around 3.5 billion people worldwide. Globally, around 2 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. This is primarily due to inadequate exposure to fluoride (in the water supply and oral hygiene products such as toothpaste) and poor access to oral health care services in the community. Also, the penetration and marketing of food and beverages containing high sugar, and the rise in consumption of tobacco and alcohol are factors that contribute to an increase in oral health conditions and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Thus, the dentures market share growth is expected to be driven by a rapid increase in cases of oral health issues such as caries and tooth loss among millennials owing to unhealthy eating habits during the forecast period.

High Cost of Dentures Implantation to Restrain the Market Growth

Dentures are artificial teeth and making them is an expensive process as the raw materials and techniques used in its manufacturing are expensive. Because of this, few patients, particularly in developing and underdeveloped countries, are unable to pay such high treatment costs. In addition, several insurance firms do not have reimbursement plans for expenses related to dental healthcare which further limits the patient to afford denture implants. These aspects are therefore anticipated to restrain the dentures market expansion during the forecast period. Apart from this, large out-of-pocket expenditures in low- and middle-income countries and the lack of unavailability of highly specialized dental equipment and skilled professionals in primary healthcare facilities negatively impact the growth of the dentures market.

Development of Dentures Product Portfolio by Major Companies to Fuel the Market Growth

Improvements to existing denture products and the introduction of new products are expected to drive dentures market share in the future. Major denture market players are focusing on developing and launching new products to meet the rise in demand for advanced treatment options for dental issues like tooth loss. Furthermore, major companies operating in the market are now using cutting-edge technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD) to design and manufacture dentures in record time. Such factors are expected to create several growth opportunities for the key players operating in the dentures market growth during the forecast period.

In addition, Dentsply Sirona announced the planned validation of Asiga and SprintRay 3D printers for Lucitone Digital Print Denture. Both of these announcements further enable the continued digital transformation in dental laboratories worldwide.
