Dental Infection Control Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The Dental Infection Control market is expected to register a CAGR of about 3% over the forecast period. The rising burden of dental infection and other periodontal diseases, growing demand for dental care facilities and dental surgical procedures, increasing dental care personnel, and technological advancements are some of the factors prevailing the growth of this market. For instance, in 2019, Midmark Corporation introduced Midmark M9 and M11 Steam Sterilizers, an innovative product with the highest efficiency in sterilization. Consequently, the adoption of novel technologies for infection controls such as DAC, ultrasonic indicators and cleansers, and H₂O₂ photolysis, radiation sterilization techniques are providing an upthrust to the market growth. Cosmetic dentistry is one of the emerging segments in the market and is gaining popularity due to the increasing focus on dental tourism which is significantly driving the demand for aesthetic and perfect teeth. Cosmetic dentistry thus will be the high demand segment in the future and is expected to offer immense growth opportunities during the forecast period. Moreover, stringent implementation of Infection control programs and access to medical reimbursement policies will further boost the market growth.

Scope of the Report

National Center for Biotechnology Information defines Dental Infections as ‘Dental infections are the infections that originate at the tooth or its supporting structures and can spread to the surrounding tissue.’ Dental infections also affect gums causing gingivitis, which later causes periodontal disease. There are mainly two routes of transmission of infection viz direct or indirect. The direct route of transmission of dental infection involves contact with an infected body fluid such as blood, saliva, or direct contact with the affected lesion. The indirect route of transmission involves contact with the contaminated equipment or instrument. It is also caused by tissue debris during intraoral procedures.

Key Market Trends

Consumable Segment is Expected to Lead the Market Over The Forecast Period

Based on the product type the market is segmented into Consumable and Equipment. The consumable product segment is by far leading the market and is expected to do so even in the forecast period. Consumables products are intended to be used by end-users such as dental hospitals and clinics, dental laboratories, and pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies such as to prevent the risk of infection transmission. Among the before mentioned end users, the largest share of consumable goes to the dental hospitals and clinics for they are effective, disposable, and of low cost. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 19% of children aged 5-19 years suffer from dental disorders.

Hence the high prevalence of dental disorders which subsequently giving rise to the number of dental clinics and hospitals, and ultimately driving the growth of consumables. Furthermore, factors such as the increasing risk of cross-contamination, their short lifecycle, and the high rate of adaption will act as a driver for the growth of this segment.
