Dental 3-Dimensional (3D) Printing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in Prevalence of Dental Disorders

The technology advancement and increased R&D efforts have surged the development of healthcare 3D printing which acts as life-saving medical devices in situations like dental diseases and various implant situations. The changing lifestyle is causing the enhanced need for dental implants further increase in demand. Thus, the increased incidence of dental deformities raises the demand for the operation of such diseases via proper advanced medical devices and implants, thereby boosting the growth of the market.

• Product Innovation Leading to New Product Launch

The development of innovative 3D printers utilizing different technologies like selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), direct laser metal sintering (DMLS), electron beam melting (EBM), light curing technology and fused deposition modelling (FDM) among others proves to be advantageous for the healthcare industries, thereby boosting the demand of the market.

Opportunity

• Increase in the Geriatric Population

The escalating demand 3D printing technology is observed across globe. The reason being surging incidence of dental disorders. The people suffering from these disorders are mainly from older population. The ageing population is increasing globally due to the availability of better healthcare facilities. Increased research and development leading to the launch of newer 3D printing technologies and materials for the geriatric population will further aid in the surging demand for dental 3D printing.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Equipment Costs

The substantial initial investment required for 3D dental printing equipment can be a significant barrier, particularly for smaller dental practices. The cost of purchasing and maintaining advanced 3D printing technology may limit widespread adoption, hindering accessibility for practitioners with budgetary constraints and potentially slowing down market growth.

• Limited Adoption in General Dentistry

While 3D dental printing has gained traction in specialized fields like prosthodontics, its integration into general dentistry practices faces challenges. General practitioners may hesitate to adopt 3D printing for routine procedures due to factors such as equipment costs, technical complexity, and the perceived need for specialized training. Overcoming these barriers is essential to promoting broader acceptance of 3D dental printing in everyday dental care.
