The dental consumables market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.56% to reach a market size of US$59.631 billion in 2030 from US$46.654 billion in 2025.
The rising incidence of dental infections, coupled with inadequate oral care, is driving the growing adoption of advanced dental consumable products. These products aim to improve dental treatment and patient care, ultimately increasing the demand for better solutions.
Many factors are contributing, out of which the most common cases are the practice of an unhealthy lifestyle by consuming high amounts of sugar, tobacco products, and harmful amounts of alcohol. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Oral Health Status Report, 2022, approximately 3.5 billion people are estimated to suffer from oral diseases globally; of these, 3 in every 4 live in middle-income countries. Of the global population, approximately 2 billion suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.
In the majority of countries, the treatment for oral health conditions is expensive and is not covered as a part of universal health coverage (UHC). It is estimated that treating dental problems is around 5% of the total health expenditure and 20% of the out-of-pocket spending in many high-income countries. However, as the dental problem is getting severe, most low- and middle-income countries are unable to provide services to prevent and treat different oral health conditions. This encourages some market players to offer affordable solutions and products. For instance, ClearArc, which is a product by one of the leading companies, Western Dental & Orthodontics, is a clear aligning solution for teeth that is available at around 40% lower price than the other brands are providing.
The better, advanced, and diverse varieties of dental consumables with enhanced properties can effectively prevent and control oral diseases. These products are being offered by existing and new players in different markets, which is estimated to lead to increased adoption and propel the market growth further over the forecast period.
Teeth whitening solutions are increasingly common and sought-after for dental cosmetic improvement treatments to enhance oral beauty. Teeth whitening is expected to grow and hold a significant share over the forecast period, attributable to the increasing number of individuals, particularly women, opting for these treatments in most high-income countries. In addition, dental crowns and bridges are also increasingly being used as cosmetics to enhance oral beauty. The middle-aged and older populations mainly opt for these solutions because of the discoloration and the weakening of the teeth.
Dental consumables can be broadly categorized into four categories, namely metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials, each with a specific advantage in dental applications. Metals like titanium, gold, and stainless steel are used in dental implants, crowns, and orthodontic wires due to their high strength, biocompatibility, and durability. Acrylic resin and composite resin are used for dentures, temporary crowns, and fillings due to their versatility, ease of handling, and aesthetic compatibility with the original teeth.
Ceramics, including zirconia and porcelain, are valued for their hardness, wear resistance, and aesthetic compatibility with the natural enamel so that they are best applied for crowns, bridges, and veneer. Biomaterials consist of bioactive glass, calcium phosphate, and collagen-based products used in bone grafts, periodontal regeneration, and tissue scaffolding, all aimed at healing and integrating natural tissues in restorative and regenerative dental treatments.
The North American region is estimated to hold a significant market share over the forecast period since an increasing number of players are providing enhanced and aesthetic-improving products to cater to the demands of consumers and dentists. Additionally, factors such as rising dental diseases, the increasing geriatric population, and the growing adoption of cosmetic dentistry are anticipated to influence market growth in the coming years positively.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period and experience rapid growth. This is due to efforts being made to improve dental care services for the population and to raise awareness about oral health, particularly among rural communities. These initiatives align with the suggestions and recommendations outlined in the National Oral Health Policy.
