The orthodontic supplies Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.5% during the study period, 2022-2027.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global orthodontic supplies market in 2020. In addition, the dental visits were postponed for at least a one-month period for patients with SARS infection. For instance, according to the study conducted in Brazil in May 2020, 395 orthodontists responded to an online poll, 66.8% were solely dealing with emergencies, while 14.2% shuttered their operations due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Contrarily, just 19% of orthodontists offered regular orthodontic appointments. Thus, the decreasing hospital visits and shutting down of the clinics have negatively impacted the orthodontic supplies market during the pandemic. According to an article published by the Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists, in October 2020, it has been found that 27.3% of the patients were unable to attend their appointments and 69% were unable to get the services, and treatment due to the closure of the dental clinics. Additionally, many of the companies reported a decline in the revenue of their orthodontics supplies segment as well as the decline in customer demand during the first two quarters of 2020.

This acquisition will assist the company to strengthen its position in the fast-growing orthodontics supplies market.
Thus, due to the above-mentioned factors, the studied market is expected to grow during the study period. However, unfavourable reimbursement policies, and risks and complications associated with orthodontic treatments is expected to restarin the market growth during stuyd period.
