Asia-Pacific Dental Consumables Market by Product [Implants (Titanium, Zirconium), Prosthetics (Bridges, Dentures, Abutments, Veneers, Inlays & Onlays), Endodontics, Orthodontics (Clear Aligners, Brackets), Sutures, and Hemostats], and End User - Forecast to 2030

The Asia-Pacific Dental Consumables Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2024 to 2030 to reach $15.99 billion by 2030. Dental consumables are used to maintain dental health and oral hygiene and have various uses in treating dental diseases, such as tooth restoration, tooth decay, and gum and gum tissue-related problems. These include dental implants, dental prosthetics, and orthodontic and periodontics products. Dental consumables are made from materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials.

The growing prevalence of dental diseases, the rising demand for cosmetic dental procedures, and the high burden of the geriatric population drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific dental consumables market. The high costs of dental procedures restrain the growth of this market. Growing medical tourism for dental procedures and the adoption of CAD/CAM in dentistry are expected to offer growth opportunities for the players in this market. However, low awareness regarding oral health is a major challenge for the growth of the Asia-Pacific dental consumables market.

Growing Prevalence of Dental Diseases Drives the Dental Consumables Market Growth

Dental disorders and conditions, including edentulism, dental carries, periodontal diseases, and malocclusion, pose a significant health burden. The increasing prevalence of these disorders drives the demand for dental treatments and procedures. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), untreated dental caries in permanent teeth is the most common dental condition. Dental caries results when plaque forms on the surface of a tooth and converts the free sugar (added sugars and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices) from food and drinks into acids that destroy the tooth over time. Periodontal diseases are prevalent in countries of the Asia-Pacific region. For instance, according to Reiko Dental Clinic, over 80% of the Japanese population is affected by periodontal diseases.

Furthermore, the risk of dental diseases increases with age due to the progressive deterioration in the structure and function of organs. Older adults are at increased risk of root caries due to increased gingival recession that exposes root surfaces and higher use of medications that produce xerostomia.

Risk factors, such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, medication, age, heredity, stress, and diabetes, have been linked to periodontal diseases. For instance, people with diabetes are at a higher risk of periodontal diseases, an infection of the gums, tissues, and bones that hold the teeth in place. Diabetes also slows down the healing process, hampering treatments. Diabetes can also cause dry mouth and fungal infections. A dry mouth may lead to ulcers, infections, and tooth decay. Increased blood glucose levels can also increase sugar levels in saliva, wherein bacteria can metabolize sugar, resulting in acid formation, which leads to tooth decay. The increasing prevalence of dental diseases and chronic conditions leads to the degradation of dental health, driving the dental consumables market in the region.

Growing Medical Tourism for Dental Procedures Create Opportunities for Players Operating in Dental Consumables Market

Dental tourism is growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, lower costs of simple and complex dental procedures in developing countries, and people’s desire to experience their preferred holiday destinations. The growth in medical tourism is largely observed in low-to-middle-income countries, mainly due to the low cost of dental procedures. Countries in Asia-Pacific are preferred for most medical procedures, including complex dental procedures that are significantly costlier in developed countries such as the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. For instance, dental implantation costs around USD 3,500 (value implants) to USD 15,000 (premium implants) in the U.S., excluding the cost of abutment, crown, and tooth and root extraction procedures. In contrast, the cost of dental implantation in major APAC countries ranges from USD 800 to USD 1,000. Moreover, patients can receive similar or even better treatments in many APAC countries.

Key Findings of the Asia-Pacific Dental Consumables Market Study:

Among the Products, Orthodontics Segment is estimated to dominate the Dental Consumables Market in 2024

The large share of the orthodontics segment is attributed to the high prevalence of malocclusion, increasing adoption of digital technologies for orthodontic treatments, growing popularity of clear aligners, and growing demand for cosmetic dentistry. Malocclusion is often hereditary. It may be caused by a difference between the size of the upper and lower jaws or between the jaw and tooth size. It causes tooth overcrowding or abnormal bite patterns. The shape of the jaws or congenital disabilities such as cleft lip and palate may also be reasons for malocclusion. The high prevalence of malocclusion in the region is one of the major reasons for the large segment share. According to the European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry, the prevalence of malocclusion in Asia was 48% as of 2021. Thus, the high prevalence of malocclusion is supporting the largest share in the region.

Dental Clinics & Hospitals is Projected to Register Fastest Growth in the Dental Consumables Market by 2030

Increasing adoption of technologies such as CAD/CAM by dental practitioners, consolidation of dental clinics, and increasing prevalence of dental diseases are the driving factors of the segment. Companies are focused on acquisitions of the dental clinic and service chains. For instance, in November 2021, EC Healthcare (China) acquired 55% of Bayley & Jackson Dental Surgeons Limited (China), including a chain of seven dental clinics. These acquisitions help the growth of dental clinics as they are provided with additional resources. Such expansions and growing chains of dental clinics contribute to the market growth.

China: Fastest Growing Market

Based on geography, China is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high prevalence of oral diseases, increasing sugar consumption, and initiatives by the government to improve oral health in the country are the major factors driving the growth of the dental consumables market in China. For instance, the sugar consumption in China is expected to reach 16.44 million metric tons by 2030. The high sugar consumption is likely to develop oral diseases, leading to the adoption of dental consumables for various dental treatments.
