The dental adhesives and sealants market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for dental adhesives and sealants has experienced accelerated expansion in recent times. The projections show an increase from $5.81 billion in 2024 to $6.54 billion in 2025, making a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%.
The considerable increase in the historic timeframe is credited to factors such as growing interest in aesthetic dentistry, rising cases of dental cavities and decay, a trend towards minimally invasive dentistry and the elevation in patient awareness and education.
The dental adhesives and sealants market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of dental adhesives and sealants is projected to undergo significant expansion in the coming years, with an estimated worth of $9.67 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%.
This growth in the projected period can be correlated to the growing aging population, an increasing awareness and emphasis on prophylactic dentistry, a rising demand for aesthetic dentistry, the burgeoning dental tourism sector, and a shift towards biomimetic dental practices. The forecasting period will witness several trends, which include advancements in nanotechnology for binding agents, the use of 3D printing technology in bonding agent application, a focus on bonding agents that minimize or eliminate post-operative sensitivity, and the development of dual-cure and light-cure hybrid bonding agents.
The escalating count of dental health clinics and dental practitioners is likely to significantly fuel the dental adhesives and sealants market's development. A dental clinic serves as the place where dentists cater to patients' dental health needs and carry out various oral procedures. Dentists widely employ dental adhesives and sealants in these clinics as solutions to halt tooth decay, improve overall oral health, and reduce the potential necessity of intrusive dental procedures in the future. For instance, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a local governmental body, published data in October 2024 that highlighted roughly 87,400 avoidable hospitalizations for dental issues in the 2022–23 period, given if timely treatments had been provided. Children within the age group of 5-9 years recorded the largest number of preventable hospitalizations, boasting a rate of 12.3 per 1,000 populace. Hence, the swelling count of dental clinics and practitioners is a positive indicator for the growth of the dental adhesives and sealants market.

Key players in the dental adhesives and sealants market, in a bid to expand their customer reach and boost revenue, have commenced the development of innovative products like the adhesadent denture adhesive. This particular type of denture adhesive stands distinguished by its zinc-free, artificial color-free, and flavor-free attributes and its ability to keep dentures securely in place while offering hydration and rejuvenation to the mouth. An instance of this was Dr. B Dental Solutions LLC, a US-based oral care firm, which rolled out an all-inclusive denture care kit in December 2022. The kit targeted full, partial, implant-retained, and supported dentures and comprised of six unique items: adhesadent denture adhesive, cleanadent paste, cleanadent denture and gum wipes, dental prosthetics and mouth toothbrushes, a revitalised ultrasonic cleaner, and a liquid crystal soak disinfectant wash. The adhesadent denture adhesive, free from zinc and artificial flavors or colors, was uniquely formulated with aloe vera, vitamins A, D, E, and advanced B copolymer, aimed at maintaining moisture in the tongue and providing extra retention.
