Market Insights and Analyst View:

The increasing prevalence of dental diseases, clubbed with the introduction of favorable government initiatives pertaining to the dental equipment and consumables markets, are some high-impacting growth drivers of the bench-top dental autoclaves market. These autoclaves also find application in cosmetic dental procedures and the demand is rapidly on the rise, especially in the high-income countries of North America and Europe. The rise in demand for cosmetic dental procedures is expected to increase the volume of dental procedures and, consequently, the demand for bench-top dental autoclaves.

Growth Drivers and Restraints:

Oral diseases, including dental diseases, are highly preventable. However, these diseases can be a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime. A few common dental problems include dental caries (tooth decay), periodontal diseases, and tooth loss. The rising incidence of dental diseases is boosting the demand for teeth replacement, dental crowns, copings, and dental bridges. According to the WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), oral diseases affect approximately 3 out of 4 people globally, out of which ~3.5 billion people live in middle-income countries. Further, ~2 billion people globally suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 514 million children suffer from primary teeth caries. Furthermore, the prevalence of major oral diseases continues to increase globally with growing urbanization and changing lifestyles. The increasing prevalence rate of dental problems such as crooked teeth, spaces between teeth, overbites, and teeth overcrowding is creating the demand for dental consumables to treat such conditions. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the US, approximately 47.2% of adults over 30 years of age have some periodontal disease, and it increases with age; approximately 70.1% of adults over the age of 65 years have periodontal disease in 2021. The surging number of people suffering from dental diseases and undertaking oral procedures can risk contamination of the instruments that are used, hence, sterilization instrument such as bench-top autoclave plays an important role in maintaining hygiene. Therefore, the increase in the prevalence of oral diseases worldwide is fueling the growth of the bench-top dental autoclave market.

The initial cost of the bench-top dental autoclave is high, and the practitioner needs to spend time and money on training. Dentists with bench-top dental autoclave but without a large enough volume of restorations will have a challenge making their investments pay off. Moreover, similar to conventional impressions, dentists must obtain an accurate recording of the tooth needing restoration by taking an optical scan. Obtaining dental impressions or digital scans poses a significant challenge for dentists, as they must take care of soft-tissue management and retraction, moisture control, and hemostasis. Further, the unfavorable reimbursement policies in various nations of Asia Pacific and the Middle East hamper the demand for advanced and expensive machines in the dental sector. A few developing Asia Pacific countries, such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have minimal or no reimbursement for medical devices and medicines, and the patient or local charities are generally responsible for the payment burden. Thus, unfavorable reimbursement policies across the globe, coupled with the high capital cost of bench-top dental autoclave, are hampering the bench-top dental autoclave market.
