Market Insights

Growing Prevalence of Dental Problems Drives Germany Clear Aligners Market Growth

Cases of oral and dental issues are rising in Germany. Oral epidemiological data shows that dental caries and periodontal diseases are widespread in the country. Up to 80% of the population unknowingly have some form of gum disease. Characterized by a persistent bacterial infection surrounding a tooth or teeth, gum disease causes little discomfort and produces few overt symptoms in the early stages. Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases. If the periodontal disease persists and is left untreated, it can spread and compromise gums, teeth, and bone.

According to The Economist, around 30–40% of all teeth extraction processes in Germany are performed due to unchanged periodontitis. In Germany alone, 80% of all people over the age of 40 will sooner or later develop periodontitis. At the same time, populations are aging significantly. In Germany, according to deStatis, people aged 65 and above accounted for 22% of the population in 2018 (17.9 out of 81.2 million); it is expected to be 28% (21.8 out of 79.2 million) by 2030 and around 31% (23.2 out of 76.0 million) by 2040. As more teeth are preserved in this growing age group, the absolute number of teeth at risk for periodontitis increases. Germany also has a prevention-oriented healthcare system. Statutory health insurance pays for basic care, including regular check-ups, acute pain therapy, amalgam fillings, and tooth extractions.

Lifestyle related habits are propelling the incidence of dental caries and dental issues. Currently, various research studies are taking place, which are expected to create a competitive advantage for manufacturers to develop new and innovative clear aligners. This factor is expected to provide various opportunities for the clear aligner market in Germany during the forecast period.
