The Dental 3D Printing Materials Market is projected to reach $2.6 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 22.4% from 2021 to 2028. The high prevalence of dental diseases like edentulism, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, growth in the geriatric population, and technological advancements in dental 3D printing propel market growth. In addition, advancements in the resins used for dental 3D printing and increasing awareness and acceptance of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies provide lucrative opportunities for the market's growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted various industries worldwide, affecting more than 200 countries globally. Due to the pandemic, several dental departments experienced a decline in procedures resulting in a decline in dental consumables case volumes. This also increased the need for social distancing among physicians and other healthcare professionals.
The American Dental Association (ADA) issued guidelines in March 2020 and postponed dental practices amidst the pandemic to keep dentists and patients safe from the coronavirus infection. Also, on 3rd August 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued recommendations for the provision of only essential oral health services in the context of COVID-19. This suspension of dentistry elective procedures resulted in reduced demand for dental 3D printing and dental consumables.
Further, the pandemic disrupted the supply chains due to the restrictions on travel and import exports. This led to decreased access to dental 3D printing materials, negatively affecting the dental 3D printing materials industry.

Rising Demand for Cosmetic Dentistry Drives the Growth of the Dental 3D Printing Materials Market
Cosmetic procedures are increasing due to rising awareness regarding oral health and rapid technological advancements. The demand for cosmetic procedures has been in the age groups 24–40 and 57–75. The population aged 24–40 majorly demand dental aesthetics, such as implants and veneers for a youthful appearance, while the population aged 57–75 demand dentures. The industry's shifting dynamics are largely due to patients’ choices, which have moved from mere hygiene to definite image enhancement. People are more ready than ever to invest in themselves. Baby boomers with disposable incomes, the younger generation of business people who want the perfect appearance for better careers, and significant advances in the industry have contributed to the rise of cosmetic dentistry.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry states that around 99% of people think a smile is their most important social asset. In 2018, the Harley Street Emporium surveyed more than 1,000 U.K. residents over 18 years of age. The survey concluded that the most desired improvement people want to make is cosmetic dentistry. Furthermore, 43% of the people who participated in the survey wanted to improve their teeth with dental treatments.
The introduction and application of two significant concepts, biomimetics and biocompatibility, have set the stage for the future of the cosmetic dentistry industry. The rise in the disposable income to spend on appearance, social media, celebrity influence, and technological advancements in cosmetic dentistry, such as CAD/CAM systems (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing), are the factors contributing to the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry.
Increasing Awareness and Acceptance of CAD/CAM Technology offer Opportunities for the Dental 3D Printing Materials Market
Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems are widely used in dentistry, mainly for the fabrication of inlays, crowns, fixed partial dentures, and implant prostheses. CAD/CAM technology has been applied to the fabrication of complete dentures, offering many advantages to dentists and patients. This reduces the number of appointments and increases the availability of spare dentures as digital data is saved.
The dental industry has been using subtractive manufacturing or milling, but it does not consider the internal structure; hence, it does not reproduce complex models. However, CAD software, intricate algorithmic designs, and artificial intelligence help in modeling any object to reproduce it as desired. The penetration levels of this technology have been increasing in the larger laboratories of developed countries. For instance, the penetration levels among laboratories in Europe and the U.S. reached 60% in 2019. In the U.S. and Europe, only 45% of small labs use a CAD/CAM system, whereas 98% of large labs either own or lease such a system.
Technological advancements and the availability of hardware/software alternatives are accelerating the adoption of CAD/CAM systems, and even smaller dental clinics are moving ahead with the adoption. The dental CAD/CAM materials also offer higher quality, user-friendliness, and enhanced aesthetics.
The Dental Composites Segment is Projected to Register the Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period
Similar to polymers, a major advantage of composites is manipulating the manufacturing process to yield the desired material properties. Advances in composites include the introduction of fiber-reinforced composites, self-healing or self-repairing composites, condensable composites/packable composites, organically modified ceramic oligomers, and hybrid ceramics conventional materials additives, altering their physical properties, driving the growth of this market.
In 2021, the Crown, Bridges, and Dentures Segment Accounted for the Largest Share of the Market
The large market share of this segment is attributed to the advantages offered by materials used for making crowns, bridges, and dentures, such as minimal material loss, superior fitting accuracy, and favorable detail reproducibility. In addition, dentures restore speech ability and are easy to maintain.
Asia Pacific: Fastest Growing Market
Based on geography, in 2021, Europe accounted for the largest share of the dental 3D printing materials market. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing burden of oral diseases in the region, growing demand for various dental procedures, growing dental tourism due to the low cost of dental procedures in Asia-Pacific countries, and rising geriatric population support the growth of this market.
