Market Definition

The class B bench-top dental autoclaves are defined by a pre-sterilization vacuum cycle. Class B is considered the highest autoclave class and can be used to sterilize all loads, including solids, type A hollow instruments, type B hollow instruments, porous loads, and wrapped instruments. The class B bench-top autoclaves should clear the Helix test as per standard EN 13060 outlined by EN 867-5:2001. This can only be achieved by the use of a pre-sterilization fractionated vacuum. Post sterilization vacuum drying ensures complete drying of all loads after the entire sterilization process. A class B Sterilizer is a must have autoclave in every dental clinic. It provides highly effective and safe sterilization for instruments. STERICOX class b autoclaves meet EN13060 standard and come in 23 liters' capacity, which is the most preferred brand at an economical price. Class B dental sterilizers are extensively used in medical and dentistry to safeguard the security of doctors, staff, and patients. Various types of loads such as porous materials, textiles, products in pouches, turbines, wands, and tips can be effectively sterilized in a Class B dental autoclave.

Asia-Pacific Class B Bench-Top Dental Autoclaves Market Dynamics

Drivers

• INCREASED PREVALENCE OF DENTAL DISORDERS

Oral health refers to the healthy gums, teeth, and oral facial system that enables speaking, chewing, and smiling. The most common dental disorders include tooth decay, periodontal diseases, and oral cancer, among others. According to World Health Organization's report, around 2.3 billion people in the world are suffering from caries of a permanent tooth, among which around 530 million children suffer from caries of the primary tooth.

Tooth decay results from a complex interplay of variables, including bacteria, host susceptibility, time, food, and others. Unhygienic practices, such as poor oral health, can cause tooth decay that will have an impact on the growth and maturity of permanent teeth, and widespread consumption of sugary foods causes teeth cavitation. Sterilization is an essential step in reusable dental instruments that have become contaminated due to all the biological fluids.

As the number of dental disorders increases, the chance of infection or cross-contamination through dental equipment also increases. Thus, the availability and use of class B bench-top dental autoclaves are projected to drive market expansion due to the rise in dental disorders.

Thus, increasing cases of dental disorders such as dental caries, tooth decay, and oral cancers are expected to boost the growth of the Asia-Pacific class B bench-top dental autoclaves market.

• INCREASED NUMBER OF DENTAL PRACTITIONERS AND DENTAL CLINICS

As the number of dental problems is increasing globally, the need for dental professionals and dental clinics is also increasing. As the usage of advanced instruments demands trained dental professionals, there is a surge in the number of dental practitioners in developing and developed countries.

Thus, the increased dentist population and dental labs number is expected to drive the market growth in the forecasted period.

• INCREASED DEMAND FOR COSMETIC DENTAL PROCEDURES

Cosmetic dentistry enhances the idea of oral health by producing a complete sense of well-being that includes both feeling and looking excellent. New dental materials yield superior results, as cosmetic dentistry has advanced over time. The development of cosmetic dentistry has paved the door for greater, more long-lasting changes to the face that go far beyond simply correcting teeth. Thus, the demand for cosmetic dental procedures has increased the market growth of class B bench top autoclaves as they include a powerful vacuum pump to remove all the air from their chamber, which allows them to sterilize every part of the instruments needed for dental procedures effectively. Its speed and user-friendly interface have raised its demand among health practitioners.

Opportunities

• RISING PREVALENCE OF DENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND AWARENESS ACROSS ALL AGE GROUPS

Dental issues are sometimes overlooked, which leads to major dental problems. Increasing cases of oral or dental infections are prevalent according to various age groups. Hence, government bodies have imposed various dental health-related guidelines. Moreover, government bodies and healthcare organizations are spreading awareness to control infections through various health resolutions and programs.

Growing dental health programs significantly affect the development of better and advanced dental products in the market. Thereby surge in dental issues and awareness across all age groups is a greater opportunity for the Asia-Pacific class B bench-top dental autoclaves market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• LACK OF AWARENESS ABOUT DENTAL HYGIENE

The development of the worldwide dental autoclave market is anticipated to be hampered by developing nations' lack of dental hygiene awareness.

For instance, oral disorders are commonplace worldwide and negatively impact people's health and the global economy.

The majority of countries continue to see an increase in the prevalence of oral diseases, which is mostly a result of people's poor access to oral health care facilities and lack of knowledge about dental hygiene (which leads to people being unaware of the importance of dental hygiene).

• INAPPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT SCENARIO

Reimbursement is one of the crucial scenarios for the expansion of this market. Various agencies are involved in providing refunds for it.

However, some issues exist, such as inappropriate coverage and lack of transparency in reimbursement procedures. These limitations restrict dental professionals from accessing products at affordable costs, decreasing product developers' incentives.

For instance,

• In April 2019, Endeavor Business Media LLC. reported that the reimbursement rate on dental healthcare is declining. Chasing down reimbursements, understanding the intricacies of exclusions, waiting periods, and preapprovals, submitting appropriate documentation, and filing claims for refund are just a few of the many responsibilities required for each patient visit which makes it hard for reimbursement processes to go smooth and convenient
• According to the NCBI article, the barriers included in dental coverage such as lack of coverage, insufficient coverage, inability to find a dentist who accepts the insurance, poor quality of care for the uninsured, and having to wait for coverage to take effect, among others

The current coverage evaluation procedure lacks transparency and differs among different payers, leading to inconsistent coverage decisions and limiting healthcare professionals' access to the best instruments.

These limitations lead to delays in the development and investment of novel devices. As per the publication of NCBI, this has been projected that lack of dental reimbursement is a significant barrier to seeking dental care, which is expected to restrain the market's growth.

Recent Development

• In October 2021, W&H announced that it could cover the entire workflow for minimally invasive oral surgery with a modular solution that will simplify clinical work and open up new prospects for treatment. Thus, it will help the company in generating more revenue
