Global Dental Consumables Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Dental Consumables Market Outlook

The global dental consumables market size was valued at USD 35.2 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing number of dental disorders across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 67.6 billion by 2032.

Global Dental Consumables Market Overview

Dental consumables are single-use products that come in a wide range, including instruments, products, materials, medicaments, and chemicals that are available in the market. Single-use instruments and products are used when re-consumption of some equipment or products is not possible, or the time consumption is more.

The increasing emphasis towards oral and maxillofacial surgery, which is a surgical procedure for reconstruction of the face including facial trauma surgery, the oral cavity, head and neck surgery, mouth, and jaws, as well as facial cosmetic surgery, is significantly contributing to the rising dental consumables market share. The increasing awareness among people about the appearance of their teeth and gums has also been fueling the demand for dental consumables.

Rising Product Launches

In September 2023, Oral health brand TePe launched a dental floss made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles; the brand states that 150 metres of floss can save two 0.5 litres of water bottles from landfill. The floss is coated in vegetable wax and avocado oil, and even comes in a 100% recyclable outer carton which is made from recycled raw materials; it is also free from PFAS chemicals. According to major toothbrush and toothpaste brand Colgate, dental floss is traditionally made from synthetic wax nylon or Teflon and can take up to 80 years to break down in a landfill .

Such launches are prone to gain traction in current circumstances when people are more than ever aware of our surroundings and environment. The fact that this floss is made of 100% recycled plastic exhibits the commitment of TePe to provide sustainable products and make a difference while sparking competition in the market as well. This is further expected to propel the global dental consumables market growth.

Increase in Strategic Acquisitions

In August 2023, MBK Partners and UCK Partners acquired Osstem Implant, a Korean manufacturer of dental implants, for an enterprise value of KRW 3.64 trillion (USD 2.7 billion).

In December 2023, Young Innovations, a leading global supplier of dental products, announced the acquisition of Salvin Dental Specialties (Salvin). Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, Salvin is a leading supplier of regenerative biomaterials, surgical instrumentation, supplies, and equipment specifically for implant dentistry.

These strategic acquisitions by market players are a step toward coming together and producing something innovative and efficient enough that is convenient to use and easily available. These acquisitions enable market players to acquire resources from the partnering companies and gain control, expanding company strengths in the dental consumables market.

Global Dental Consumables Market Regional Analysis

The increasing incidence of caries, which is caused by continued high intake of free sugars, inadequate exposure to fluoride, and insufficient removal of plaque by toothbrushing can lead to caries, toothache, tooth loss, and even infection. The increasing prevalence and severity of oral diseases is a major factor driving the dental consumables market demand. A report was published by the World Health Organization (WHO) which provided the first-ever comprehensive picture of oral disease burden with data profiles for 194 countries.

According to the data released by the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2023), oral diseases affect about 3.5 billion people worldwide, with 3 out of 4 people affected living in middle-income countries. Approximately 2 billion people around the world suffer from caries of permanent teeth and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.  The increasing incidence of oral cancer globally is directly contributing to the rising dental consumables market demand.

Based on regions, North America is dominating the global market due to the rising dominance of social media presence and increased consciousness among people. People are more likely to follow social media trends and opt for dental treatments to look presentable and seek an aesthetic appearance. Additionally, the increasing oral disease burden is expected to increase in dental procedures, which is likely to further contribute to the increased demand for dental consumables market demand.

In March 2023, BURST® Oral Care launched their new BURSTkids Flossables™. These are new dental floss picks specifically created for kids ages 3+ to make flossing fun, and to make it easier for parents to floss their kids’ teeth. This floss is designed and tested by thousands of BURST Ambassador Dental Professionals. The flossables use high-quality, strong, and shred-resistant floss coated with xylitol to help fight cavities. With no-slip grip areas on a comfortable handle designed for small hands, and a U-shaped angled head to reach back molars in a small mouth, flossables make flossing easy and fun with a yummy strawberry flavor and in different colors.

Flossables are created with biodegradable wheatgrass handles to reduce single-use plastics. The floss is coated with natural wax with no PFAS, BPA, Teflon, artificial colors, or flavors, and the outer packaging is made of renewable plant resources. The shifting focus of market players toward sustainable packaging and the use of non-toxic ingredients is a major trend influencing market growth and increasing awareness among people to prefer such products over others. Such product launches are anticipated to contribute to the product demand during the forecast period.
