Dental Lasers Market

Dental Lasers Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global dental lasers market is estimated to grow to USD 306.3 million by 2028 from USD 236.6 Million in 2023. It is predicted to be growing at a CAGR of 5.30% during the forecast period.

Dental lasers are devices that generate a beam of light to remove or shape a tissue in the field of the dental treatment process. These dental lasers are highly productive, depending on the dentist’s capability to manage the exposure time and laser power output. These lasers are used for surgery processes; this grows in a short period. These lasers are used for cuts, destructions, periodontal treatment, and bone surgery. Unfortunately, 47% of adults who are 30 years and above are observed to be affected by at least one form of periodontal disease. 30% of people aged above 65 lack natural teeth. Nearly 300,373 people have oral cancer, and lip cancer cases were recorded worldwide in 2012 and are projected to grow by 702,149 by 2017, growing at an annual rate of 18.5%.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global dental lasers market:

The eruption of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a critical disruption. Most of the researchers have faced many difficulties in meeting their timelines. The pandemic crisis has impacted every facet of modern life in the U.S. Dentists are guided to prefer laser systems used with disposable optic fiber tips whenever possible. Dental lasers are a dynamic industry with significant business development opportunities, but the present COVID-19 crisis caused shifts in short-term planning goals. During 2020, the profit pool increased widely across the dental lasers market as industries rapidly aligned their plans according to the market conditions. There was a slight decline during the lockdown period, but once the lockdown lifted, there was an increase in the economy.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing patient population with dental problems and awareness among people to have oral hygiene are majorly propelling the global dental lasers market growth.

Technological advancements and new product launches by key market participants in the dental industry are anticipated to boost the dental lasers market. Most importantly, common dental disorders like dental caries and periodontal diseases have driven the dental laser's market growth. Furthermore, increasing demand for the cosmetic industry and rising medical tourism among developing countries promote market growth. In addition, lifestyle changes in people and creating awareness associated with dental care and cosmetic dentistry among developed and developing countries worldwide surged the dental lasers market throughout the period.

The increasing adoption rate of soft tissue surgeries owing to the rising prevalence of soft tissue disorders like gingivitis and periodontal disorders is likely to offer growth opportunities. In addition, the growing demand for laser therapies using dental lasers is expected to increase growth opportunities in the market. The patients are opting for laser therapies over the traditional methods owing to the advantages associated with dental lasers, such as high comfort, less bleeding, reduced risk of contamination through instruments, effective results in less time, and reduced trauma are offering opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The increasing adoption of technically advanced laser devices for connecting prosthetics and dental implant fabrication is further favoring the growth of the dental lasers market. In addition, increasing focus on research and adopting minimally invasive techniques to eliminate dental anesthetics and other instruments, such as dental drills, are expected to provide several opportunities for the growth of the dental lasers market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The restraints limiting the market's growth are the high costs of advanced dental treatments and the shortage of professionals for handling the devices. In addition, some dental procedures do not allow dental lasers, mainly when teeth have been treated with mental amalgam or other tooth components, which is expected to restrain the growth of the dental lasers market.
