The global dental obturators market size is expected to reach USD 543.8 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2024 to 2030, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market experiences growth driven by an increasing prevalence of dental disorders and continuous technological advancements within the dental industry. Simultaneously, a rising consumer demand for optimal dental treatments propels market expansion. As per the Global Oral Health Status Report published by the World Health Organization in November 2022, a significant oral disease burden affects 45% or 3.5 billion people globally. Three-quarters of those impacted reside in low and middle-income countries.
The report underscores a substantial increase of 1 billion cases of oral diseases over the past 30 years, revealing a pervasive lack of access to preventive and treatment measures. Advancements in manufacturing techniques significantly influence the growth of the market. According to research from the American College of Prosthodontists, obturator prosthesis bases produced through injection molding demonstrate superior intaglio surface trueness compared to traditional compression molding and certain 3D printing methods.
In 2023, the definitive obturators segment dominated the market, accounting for 40.7% of the market share. According to a March 2020 article from the NCBI, incorporating definitive obturators with cast metal frameworks in rehabilitating maxillectomy defects is crucial for enhancing patients' masticatory efficiency, speech clarity, and overall quality of life. This transformative approach positively expands the market, addressing functional and aesthetic challenges associated with oriental communication resulting from maxillary defects.
