The dental consumables market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.52% to reach a market size of US$47.499 billion in 2027 from US$30.528 billion in 2020.

The increasing number of cases of dental Infections and lack of proper oral care is leading to an increase in the adoption of enhanced and advanced dental consumable products to aid in the proper and effective dental treatment and care in the patients and increase the demand.

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 the increasing harmful amount of alcohol. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral health is a serious problem plaguing many individuals. It poses a major health burden affecting different people throughout their lifetime. It is also considered a leading cause of pain, discomfort, and disfigurement. Tooth decay is one of the most common heath conditions, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2017. Moreover, dental caries of primary teeth is a prevalent problem in around 530 million children. Severe periodontal disease, which affects the gums seriously, is a resulting factor of tooth loss and is increasingly common among approximately 10% global population. Most of these oral conditions, however, are largely preventable in the early stages, which encourages market players to adopt enhanced and advanced solutions to boost market growth over the forecast period.

The increasing participation of organizations in taking steps to tackle the unavailability of affordable dental care products and the lack of proper policies for dental treatment for the many individuals in the population is leading to a surge in the market growth

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 expenditure in many high-income countries. Whereas, as the dental problem is getting severe, majorly all low-income and middle-income countries are unable to provide services to prevent and treat the different oral health conditions. This encourages some market players to offer solutions and products that are affordable. For instance, ClearArc, which is a product by one of the leading companies Western Dental & Orthodontics is offering, is a clear aligning solution for the teeth that is available at around 40% lesser price than the other brands are providing.

Product Offerings by Major Market Players

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 is estimated to lead to increased adoption and propel the market growth further over the forecast period.

Some of the examples of the product offerings are as follows:

• Plackers, among the leading brands that provide dental flosses, based in Texas, announced that they had launched a new product called the “Plackers Mega Mint.” This product is a new type of flosser that can facilitate the delivery of a minty blast to provide a fresh breath in a less amount of time, just by the addition of a new flavour patch on the flosser. To use this feature, the person has to simply guide the flavour patch along the surface of their tongue for a fresh feeling. It is available in a ‘‘Plackers Sure-ZIP” bag.
• In January 2019, 3M Oral Care, one of the leading companies dealing in the provision of materials and solutions to cater to the needs of the dental industry, announced that they entered into a partnership with Bioclear to support dentists in performing different state-of-the-art procedures. Under this agreement, 3M is planning to host a series of hands-on training courses to facilitate the education of the Bioclear method. This restorative method is a type of Class II restorative method. In addition, the kits containing the tools required for the Bioclear method, along with the range of restorative products by 3M, will be available for dentists performing these procedures.

Teeth Whitening solutions to hold a considerable share over the forecast period and grow at a noteworthy pace 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, which is attributable to the fact that there are an increasing number of individuals, particularly women, who are 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 population and the older population, because of the discolouration and the weakening of the teeth, mainly opt for these solutions.

The North American region holds a considerable share over the forecast period, and the Asia Pacific to grow at a significant pace over the forecast period because of the increasing measures.

The North American region is estimated to hold a significant market share over the forecast period since there are an increasing number of market players that are providing enhanced and aesthetic-improving products to cater to the demands of consumers and dentists.

Moreover, the Asia Pacific region is projected to hold a considerable share over the forecast period and show growth rapidly because measures are being taken to enhance the provision of dental care to the population and increase awareness regarding oral health among the rural population in conjunction with the suggestions and recommendations being put forward in the National Oral Health Policy.

COVID-19 Impact on Dental Consumables Market

The development of the dental consumables business has been greatly impacted by COVID-19. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic forced healthcare professionals, including implant dentists, in particular, to take extra precautions to provide excellent care in the safest possible environment, according to a January 2021 article titled "COVID-19 and dental implants: impact and views." The same source also stated that anyone with COVID-19 infection symptoms was not allowed to visit the implant clinic. Additionally, several imaging and diagnostic departments have seen a sharp drop in the number of dental consumables cases as a result of COVID-19. The cumulative imaging volume across seven weeks during the pandemic, compared to 2019, was seen, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR), with all patient service sites and imaging modality types included. Non-essential imaging scans and procedures were delayed restraining the market growth.
