The global dental impression material market size is expected to reach USD 1,464.9 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.., registering a CAGR of 10.0% from 2023 to 2030. A dental impression is a false imprint of soft tissues and hard (teeth) in the mouth from which a positive reproduction (model or cast) is formed. Dental impression material is semi-solid or liquid in nature when first mixed and placed in the mouth. There are several types of impression materials for dental such as silicone, alginate, polyether, etc. The dental impression materials are used to keep a dental imprint which is further used in dental treatment.
The dental impression materials market growth is mostly fuelled by factors such as the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry and the rising incidence of dental disorders. In addition, the growing adoption of digital dentistry and increasing dental tourism in emerging markets are anticipated to boost the dental impression materials market growth during the forecast period. As per the National Institute of Dental Research, the most common and prevalent dental disease in both, children and adults is tooth decay. Nearly 92% of the population, between the ages of 20 to 64, have dental caries.
The growing incidence of dental problems is a major driver contributing to the overall demand of the dental impression materials market. Furthermore, with the increasing disposable incomes in emerging economies, the willingness to afford expensive cosmetic dental procedures has also increased among the population, specifically among the aging population. Bad lifestyle habits and poor diet, especially amongst teenagers which lead to tooth decay are rising the growth of the dental impression materials market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the dental impression materials market. Initially, due to lockdown and global restrictions being imposed in most countries, many dental treatments and procedures were halted. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge disruption in the supply chain of the overall medical industry. Initially, the outbreak has resulted in a decrease in the number of procedures performed each year, resulting in an overall decline in the market.
