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.
Periodontal or gum diseases caused by mouth cancer and plaque are prevalent dental disorders among the geriatric population. According to the United Nations estimation, in 2019, there were 703 million people aged 65 years or over and the number is projected to double to 1.5 billion by 2050. 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. Worldwide, it has been estimated that around 2.3 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and over 530 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. The growing prevalence of oral disorders is anticipated to increase the demand for dental chairs for examination and treatment.
Powered dental chairs accounted for the largest volume share of over 55.0% in 2020. The growth is attributed to the increasing advancement in dental chairs and rising preference by dentists to offer optimal comfort to their patients. Advantages offered by powered dental chairs are fueling the segment growth. The powered dental chair offers silent, smooth operation and ease of access that increase its demand in the market.
Moving a dental chair during the procedure is relatively difficult. A powered dental chair is programmed by a button setting that can automatically adjust the height and position during the treatment. This eliminates the need to adjust the dental chair manually and waste time manually. In addition, the powered chair is highly resilient to temperature variations that quickly change as per requirement during the procedures. The features and benefits of powered dental chairs are anticipated to boost the segment's growth.
The ceiling-mounted design segment held the largest volume share of over 35.0% in 2020. The growth is attributed to its ability to reduce neck strain caused by looking down on patients for a prolonged period. The easy way to approach the patient while treatment is provided by the chair that is comfortable to use and has more demand in the market. The features such as dental cuspidors, dental handpieces, and operator light are connected to the chair itself that makes it a perfect option for treatment. Such advantages and benefits are anticipated to boost the segment's growth.
The dental chair-mounted design segment is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the advantages of dental chair-mounted design, such as better mobility and easy maintenance. The chair is comfortable and makes work easier and more efficient, which is anticipated to increase its demand.
The examination segment captured the largest volume share of more than 25.0% in 2020 owing to the growing awareness regarding oral hygiene. According to the Academy of Implant Dentistry, in July 2020, more than 30 million Americans are missing all teeth in at least one jaw. Many people are suffering from oral health. The increasing prevalence of dental disorders needs diagnosis and treatment that increases the demand for dental chairs, thus boosting the segment growth.
The others segment is expected to grow during the forecast period due to unhealthy eating habits and smoking. The high demand for cosmetic dental surgery, along with increasing esthetic awareness, is anticipated to boost the demand for cosmetic dental procedures, thus propelling the segment growth.
North America dominated the market with a revenue share of over 35.0% in 2020 owing to the growing demand for dental chairs due to the need for minimal pain, reduced chair time, and precise diagnosis, and high consumer awareness regarding the efficiency of therapeutic application. In addition, the increasing number of dental practitioners and clinics is anticipated to aid the market growth. Rising partnerships and collaborations among major market players are expected to boost market growth.
The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period due to the rising awareness regarding oral health and an increase in the number of cosmetic procedures. The introduction of technologies such as CAD/CAM of dental restoration procedures is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
The competitive landscape is strengthened by innovations in existing technology, product developments and launches, and awareness campaigns.
