The dental impression material market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The dental impression material market has seen rapid growth recently. It is projected to grow from $0.78 billion in 2024 to $0.87 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 10.9%.
The growth can be linked to rising dental issues, an aging population, increased interest in cosmetic dentistry, heightened awareness about oral health, and the expansion of dental tourism.
The dental impression material market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The dental impression material market is expected to grow to $1.3 billion by 2029, expanding at a CAGR of 10.6%.
The growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of periodontal disorders, growing medical tourism, rising disposable incomes, and a stronger focus on aesthetic dentistry. Key trends include the use of intraoral scanners, integration with CAD/CAM technology, development of advanced and eco-friendly materials, and AI-driven innovations.
The rising prevalence of dental disorders is expected to drive the growth of the dental impression material market. Dental disorders include conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity, and their rise is linked to factors such as aging populations, poor oral hygiene, socioeconomic conditions, and food habits. Dental impression materials are essential tools for diagnosing, treating, and managing dental issues by providing accurate replicas of oral structures and facilitating the creation of customized restorations or appliances. For instance, in March 2023, the WHO reported that around 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases, with the majority of cases in middle-income countries. As a result, the increasing prevalence of dental disorders is propelling the growth of the dental impression material market.
