by Dental polymerization lamps, also called curing lights, are essential tools in modern dental practices. They are used to cure light-cured dental materials like composites, sealants, and adhesives during various procedures like fillings, crowns, and implants. The light sources in these lamps help dental materials to polymerize and harden quickly, allowing dentists to efficiently carry out procedures.
The global dental polymerization lamps market is estimated to be valued at US$ 589.7 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increasing number of dental procedures across major regions is expected to augment the dental polymerization lamps market over the forecast period. According to WHO, around 3.58 billion people suffer from oral diseases worldwide with untreated tooth decay affecting over 530 million children. Also, over 15-20% of middle-aged adults suffer from advanced periodontitis. This high prevalence of dental diseases has propelled significant growth in dental procedures like fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, and dentures which require polymerization lamps. Between 2015 to 2050, the global population aged over 65 years is projected to grow significantly from approximately 600 million to nearly 1.6 billion, thus further increasing dental care requirements and driving the demand for dental polymerization lamps during the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Dental polymerization lamps provide uniform curing of composite resins and acrylics, resulting in long-lasting dental restorations. They are easy to use and operate effectively.
Weakness: High costs associated with dental polymerization lamps limits adoption in cost-sensitive markets. Dependence on technology for functioning also makes them prone to malfunctioning.
Opportunity: Growing demand for advanced dental procedures worldwide and the need for effective curing of light-cured composite materials and bonding agents offer growth opportunities.
Threats: Threat of substitute products and technologies that can also cure composite resins pose competition. Stringent quality and safety regulations in the dental industry also act as a challenge.
