The dental market encompasses a wide array of products and services, including restorative components (like implants and prosthetics), orthodontic offerings (such as clear aligners and braces), and advanced dental equipment like CAD/CAM scanners, lasers, and imaging solutions. Its growth is driven by the rising prevalence of oral health issues—cavities, gum diseases, malocclusion—and increasing demand for both functional and cosmetic treatments. Technological trends like digital dentistry (including CAD/CAM systems and intraoral scanners), AI-enhanced diagnostics, and same-day crown fabrication are reshaping care delivery and patient experience. North America currently leads the market, with Asia-Pacific emerging as the fastest-growing region due to expanding dental infrastructure and rising awareness. While solo dental practices remain predominant, Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) are rapidly expanding, streamlining operations and broadening access to care.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global dental market size was valued at USD 37.86 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 41.03 billion in 2025 to USD 87.65 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period. North America dominated the dental market with a market share of 39.06% in 2024.
The popularity of invisible orthodontics—such as clear aligners—is increasing due to their comfort, fewer dental visits, customization, and ease of removal. Align Technology reported a global volume increase of 54.8% in clear aligner usage in 2021 versus 2020, while Institut Straumann AG boosted its orthodontic aligner production capacity by 30% in August 2020.
