The dental infection control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for disposable dental products, the increasing focus on cross-contamination prevention, the rising adoption of digital dental practices, continuous innovation in disinfection technologies, and the growth of dental tourism. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of smart sterilization systems, the adoption of eco-friendly infection control products, a shift towards personalized dental care, focusing on reducing chemical disinfectants' environmental impact, and the expansion of single-use dental instruments.
The growing number of patients with oral diseases is expected to drive the growth of the dental infection control market. Oral diseases, which affect the mouth, teeth, gums, and related structures, can cause discomfort, impair oral function, and lead to systemic health issues. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, high-sugar diets, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, aging populations, and limited access to preventive dental care contribute to the increasing prevalence of these conditions. Dental infection control products are crucial for preventing cross-contamination during the treatment of oral diseases, including cancers, by ensuring proper sterilization and disinfection of instruments and surfaces. This is particularly important for protecting patients with compromised immune systems from additional infections. For instance, a report by the American Cancer Society in January 2024 projected that 58,450 adults in the U.S. would be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer in 2024, up from 54,000 adults in 2022. Thus, the rising incidence of oral diseases is fueling the growth of the dental infection control market.
Major companies in the dental infection control market are focusing on developing advanced automation technologies to enhance the efficiency and safety of infection control procedures in dental settings. One such innovation is the automatic water filling feature in sterilizers, which allows the device to automatically replenish its water supply from a connected demineralized system. For example, in January 2023, W&H Impex, Inc., an Austria-based dental equipment company, launched new infection control products, including the Lexa Plus sterilizer and the Assistina One maintenance device. The Lexa Plus, a Class B pre-vacuum sterilizer with a 7.4-gallon chamber, features Eco Dry + technology, automatic water filling, and EliTrace for advanced documentation. The Assistina One is designed to quickly lubricate and clean dental handpieces in 18 seconds, utilizing a cartridge system and HEPA-filtered exhaust to maintain a clean environment.
