by The Dental Caries Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6,302.2 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Dental caries, commonly known as cavities or tooth decay, is caused by demineralization of tooth enamel and dentin due to acids produced by plaque bacteria. Dental caries treatment aims to stop demineralization and promote remineralization through restorative procedures such as dental fillings, dental sealants, and dental bridges.
Market Dynamics:
The rising demand for non-invasive and effective dental caries treatment procedures is expected to drive the growth of the dental caries treatment market over the forecast period. Traditionally, restorative procedures such as dental fillings were the primary treatment option for dental caries. However, with technological advancements, minimally invasive procedures such as dental sealants and remineralization therapies are gaining popularity as they effectively treat early stage caries lesions without drilling or removing tooth structure. These procedures help in remineralizing demineralized tooth structure and protect healthy tooth structure from demineralization, thereby effectively preventing cavities.
Market key trends:
The dental caries treatment market has been witnessing rising demand for minimally invasive procedures and dental implants. Minimally invasive dental procedures cause less pain and trauma to patients while producing long lasting results. These advanced techniques allow treatments to be performed quickly with less instrumentation in the tooth structures. Moreover, there has been a rise in demand for dental implants as a tooth replacement option. Dental implants have emerged as the most natural solution to replace missing teeth as they look and function similar to natural teeth. Growth in dental tourism and rise in disposable incomes are also fueling the uptake of implants.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: Advanced technologies such as CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) are enabling improved accuracy and outcomes. Aging population prone to tooth decay also drives market growth.
Weaknesses: High costs associated with dental treatments restrict broader acceptance. Lack of dental coverage in insurance policies poses affordability challenges.
Opportunities: Emerging economies provide scope for market expansion aided by improving access to dental care. Investments in R&D of novel biomaterials can enhance process efficiency.
Threats: Stringent regulatory approvals and reliability issues over long-term performance of new products. Competition from low-cost alternatives impact pricing.
