US Dental Equipment Market Analysis
The USA Dental Equipment Market size is estimated at USD 4.15 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.63 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.30% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
COVID-19 significantly impacted the United States dental equipment market. Many dental procedures were postponed or canceled as they require close contact with the doctor and their patients and with the dental equipment, which holds the risk of virus contamination. Further, government authorities published various recommendations during the pandemic regarding the hygiene needed at dental clinics. For instance, per the report published by the American Dental Association (ADA) in August 2022, the ADA released a revised infection control guide outlining the importance of implementing comprehensive infection prevention and control practices in the dental office and other treatment settings. However, with the support of large-scale vaccination programs in the United States and the rising burden of dental diseases, the studied market is expected to return to its full potential in the coming years.
The United States witnessed an increasing geriatric population since this population is highly prevalent in dental surgeries and other dental practices, thereby driving the dental equipment market in the country. For instance, according to the CBO projections over the 2023-2053 period, 73 million people, on average, are estimated to be aged 65 or older in the United States. Dental problems such as dental cavities, roots, coronal caries, periodontitis, etc., increase with aging; thus, the high geriatric population in the country is expected to drive the studied market.
Furthermore, the increase in dental diseases among the United States population is expected to bolster market growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the April 2022 update by NIH, about 9 out of 10 adults aged 20 to 64 have experienced tooth decay in the United States. Also, more than 2 in 5 individuals between the ages of 45 and 64 suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, which is linked to almost 60 other health issues like diabetes, heart disorders, and Alzheimer's disease.
Also, technological advancements in dentistry and the presence of key market players in the United States are expected to drive the market. For instance, in July 2021, A-dec partnered with Surgically Clean Air to provide air purifying products to the dental industry. Also, in January 2021, Nobel Biocare launched the Xeal and TiUltra surfaces in the United States. These new surfaces are applied to implants and abutments, which optimizes tissue integration at every level.
Therefore, the market is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period due to the increase in dental problems among the geriatric population and strategic product launches by the key players. However, excessive costs involved in private health insurance and negligence toward oral health may slow its growth over the forecast period.
