Report Overview

The global dental chair market size was valued at USD 505.90 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing number of dental procedures, especially surgeries related to dental esthetics, is among the major factors driving the market. In addition, improving healthcare infrastructure is expected to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic had delayed many dental procedures, thereby hampering the revenue of the companies. The increasing need for patient comfort during surgeries is also fueling product demand, thereby driving the market. Hence, major improvements are being made in dental chairs to provide patients with optimal comfort during surgeries. The dental chairs used today can be adjusted according to patient and surgeon requirements, along with the positioning of the light.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged disrupting many socio-economical and healthcare aspects across the world. As per the WHO, the virus has infected around 9.1 million people globally till June 2020. Among that, 80% of cases were in Europe and the U.S. During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was lockdown in many countries and according to the guidelines, dental offices were shut down, which had negatively impacted the market for dental chairs.

Technology advancement has resulted in increasing the adoption rate of dental chairs. The advanced dental chair includes unparalleled features that help the dental professional and patient to operate and be relaxed during the procedure. Recently, dual location touchpad controls are located on both sides of the upper backrest that provide ease of access. The dual touchpad controls come with an option to add a unit-mounted touchpad, wireless foot control, and remote wireless touchpad. Advanced features are anticipated to increase the demand for dental chairs.

The increasing geriatric population is expected to increase the demand for dental chairs for the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal and gum disease.

The oral health disease is anticipated to boost market growth. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study estimation in 2017, oral disease affects around 3.5 billion people globally, with caries of permanent teeth being the most common.
