South East Asia Dental Consumables Market Size & Forecast
The South East Asia Dental Consumables Market is projected to reach $1.14 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2031. Dental consumables are products and devices that are used to maintain dental health and oral hygiene and have various uses in treating dental diseases, such as edentulism, tooth decay, malocclusion, and gum or gum tissue-related problems. Dental consumables include dental implants and prosthetics, and endodontic, orthodontic, and periodontic products.
The growth of the South East Asia dental consumables market is driven by the rising demand for cosmetic dental procedures, growing medical tourism for dental procedures in several Asian and South East Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and India, among others, the rising prevalence of dental disorders, and the increasing incidence of edentulism in the geriatric population. Oral diseases are a significant health burden in many countries, affecting nearly 3.5 billion people around the world. According to the WHO’s Oral Health Indonesia Profile 2022 report, in 2021, the prevalence of oral diseases, including untreated caries of permanent teeth among people aged five years and older, was 28.8% in Indonesia. Also, a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2020 concluded that poor oral health is a major public health concern in Indonesia, with approximately 89% and 74% of the population having suffered from caries and periodontal diseases, respectively. Various initiatives are being undertaken to restore and improve dental health in South East Asian countries. For instance, in May 2022, on the occasion of World Oral Health Day, Unilever PLC (U.K.) launched the 'Don't Wait Until It's Too Late #TalkToADentist' campaign in several Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Ghana, among others.
Growing Medical Tourism for Dental Procedures Driving the Demand for Dental Consumables
Dental tourism is growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry and the lower costs of both simple and complex dental procedures in developing countries. This growth in dental tourism is largely observed in low to middle-income countries, mainly due to the low costs of dental procedures. Countries in Asia-Pacific, such as India, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, 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 $3,500 (value implants) to $15,000 (premium implants) in the U.S., excluding abutment, crown, and tooth & root extraction costs. In contrast, the cost of dental implantation in APAC or South East Asian countries, such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India, ranges from $800 to $1,000. Dental tourism in South East Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, is expanding rapidly, especially for uninsured individuals seeking affordable, safe, and high-quality dental care. For instance, in Indonesia, the cost of 4 dental implants is $7,307.9 (A$11,000) compared to $17,937.5 (A$27,000) in Australia. Proper infrastructure, cost-effectiveness, experienced dental staff, and availability of the latest equipment and technologies are increasing medical tourism in the country, driving the demand for dental consumables.

Rising Prevalence of Dental Disorders Supporting Market Growth
Oral diseases are a significant health burden across many countries, affecting nearly 3.5 billion people around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases are the most common noncommunicable diseases in the South East Asia region. The disease burden indicates strong inequalities, with high prevalence and severity in poor and disadvantaged populations that generally have limited access to prevention, care, and rehabilitation. Considering the high prevalence of oral diseases in South East Asian countries, in 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Action Plan for Oral Health in South East Asia 2022–2030 initiative. Under this initiative, the WHO envisions enabling universal coverage for oral health for all people in South East Asia by 2030. Insured patients are more likely to visit dental facilities for dental treatments, driving the utilization of dental consumables.
Dental caries is among the most common health concerns in developing countries, affecting 60–90% of school children and most adults. Similarly, periodontal diseases are prevalent in both developed and developing countries, with the global prevalence increasing from 14% in 2019 to 19% in 2022. Additionally, risk factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, medication, age, heredity, stress, and diabetes increase the risk of periodontal diseases and 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. Increased blood glucose levels can also increase sugar in saliva, wherein bacteria can metabolize sugar, resulting in acid formation, which leads to tooth decay. Thus, the increasing prevalence of dental diseases and chronic conditions that lead to the degradation of dental health is driving the dental consumables market.
Key Findings in the South East Asia Dental Consumables Market Study:
The Orthodontics Segment Expected to Account for the Largest Market Share in 2024
Based on product, in 2024, the orthodontics segment is expected to account for the largest share of the South East Asia dental consumables market. The segment’s large share is attributed to the high prevalence of malocclusion, the increasing adoption of digital technologies for orthodontic treatments, the growing popularity of clear aligners, and the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry. Orthodontics is the category of dental consumables used for straightening malocclusions, misaligned teeth, and jaw & bite patterns. The prevalence of malocclusion is higher due to insufficient knowledge regarding oral health care and practices. There are different categories of malocclusion—Class I malocclusion, Class II malocclusion (also known as overbite), and Class III malocclusion (also known as underbite). In 2020, the prevalence of Class III malocclusion in South East Asia reached 15.08%. Therefore, the demand for orthodontic dental consumables is increasing in South East Asia, supporting the growth of this segment.
The Dental Clinics & Hospitals Segment Expected to Account for the Largest Market Share in 2024
Based on end user, in 2024, the dental clinics & hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the South East Asia dental consumables market. The segment’s large share is attributed to the high adoption of technologies such as CAD/CAM among dental practitioners, the consolidation of dental clinics, and the increasing prevalence of dental diseases. According to the National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS, Singapore), a recent study showed that 31% of Singaporean residents aged 60+ years were suffering from edentulism, largely due to the increasing prevalence of chronic and oral diseases. This scenario has highlighted the need for a sustainable and transformed healthcare ecosystem. Hence, the NDCS was established to develop novel and effective therapies for common chronic diseases, leverage technology, increase efficiency, and introduce new care models for improving health in the community.
Indonesia to be the Largest Country-level Market in 2024
Based on geography, in 2024, Indonesia is expected to account for the largest share of the South East Asia dental consumables market. Indonesia’s large market share is primarily attributed to the country’s high healthcare expenditure, high prevalence of dental disorders, availability of highly skilled professionals, established healthcare system, demand for cosmetic dentistry, growing dental tourism due to high-quality services and affordability, and the availability of government and private sector funding to improve dental health in the country. For instance, in September 2022, KLAR Smile (Indonesia), a start-up specializing in dental care and oral wellness, received pre-series A funding of $4.5 million from AC Ventures (ACV), a technology venture fund company. Such developments are expanding the use of dental devices and procedures and increasing awareness regarding oral health and personal aesthetics, supporting the growth of the dental consumables market in the country.
