Dental Suction Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Dry, Wet), By End Use (Hospitals, Dental Offices), By Region (Asia Pacific, North America), And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global dental suction systems market size was valued at USD 242.7 million in 2020 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2021 to 2028. This growth can be attributed to the high demand for dental procedures, especially cosmetic dental procedures as well as the introduction of advanced technologies in the field of the dental suction system. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a reduction of dental procedures, thereby negatively impacting the market growth. The dental procedures performed on regular basis use ultrasonic scalers and turbine handpieces that produce aerosols that are harmful to patients and the staff. The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during the dental procedure can occur through inhalation of aerosols and droplets as well as from direct contact with oral fluids and mucous membranes of infected individuals.

Extraoral suction is a helpful tool for the reduction of aerosols and droplets, thereby enabling dentists to perform the procedures without compromising on safety. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the market growth. The outbreak of COVID-19 led patients to postpone non-emergency checkups due to the fear of contracting the novel coronavirus infection. Moreover, regulatory guidelines issued by several nations during the pandemic allowed public hospitals and dental practices to treat only emergency cases, while a large number of private practices were closed, especially those dentists whose practice mainly comprised of non-emergency services.

Thus, the pandemic has had a negative impact on the global market. PAX2000 suction system offers a five-stage filtration system. The system includes four layers of activated carbon and HEPA pre-filtration followed by UV-C light and plasma technology, a VOC filter. The availability of such advanced technologies is expected to increase the product demand, thus propelling the market growth. The dental suction system is a vital element in dental clinics and offices. The invention of these systems has transformed the way of working of dentists.

The systems not only improve the hygiene aspect but also the process ergonomics and comfort of the dental professional and patient alike. The right suction pump reduces the risk of complications, improves patient outcomes, and provides a clear field view during a serious dental emergency. Thus, the benefits, importance, and features of the system are anticipated to propel its demand, thereby supporting market growth.

Product Insights

The wet suction system product segment held the largest revenue share of more than 54% in 2020. The wet suction units are highly reliable than the dry systems. These units are powered by electric motors that power the vacuum pumps, which separate the liquid and solid. The vacuum pump draws waste products, water, and air through tubing into the pump. The wet suction system also features a reverse flow valve and implementation of central amalgam separation. These features of the product drive its demand, thereby contributing to the segment growth.

The dry product segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2028 due to the advantages associated with these systems. These systems are energy-efficient, require less maintenance, and have features, such as variable speed motor functionality that provides consistency in extraction power. Moreover, these systems do not require a water connection for operation and can temporarily reconnect to the shop vacuum if the main motor breaks down. These features are anticipated to boost their demand, which, in turn, will augment the segment growth.

End-use Insights

The dental offices segment dominated the market in 2020 accounting for more than 55% of the global revenue share. This can be attributed to the increased number of dental treatment procedures in these healthcare settings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people were avoiding visiting hospitals and dental offices frequently. Thus, dental offices have taken initiatives, like the implementation of strict safety measures, to enhance the safety of staff and patients alike.

The use of extraoral suction technology for the protection of staff and patient is one such initiative adopted by dental offices to prevent the spread of the virus. These factors are anticipated to propel segment growth. The dental office segment is also expected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The rising demand for diagnosis & treatments and the presence of a large number of dental specialists in these healthcare settings along with an increasing number of dental offices are expected to drive the segment growth.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the global market in 2020, accounting for more than 38% of the overall revenue share. The growth was attributed to the presence of a well-established health care infrastructure and quick adoption of advanced technologies in the region. Moreover, key companies in the region invest in R&D and new product launches, which also supports market growth. For instance, VacStar by Air Techniques, Inc. allows dental offices to obtain better performance during the procedure, it uses less water and saves space due to its compact design.

Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high patient pool leading to increasing demand for dental procedures. In addition, investments by leading players to improve the healthcare infrastructure in developing countries, such as India and China, further boosts the market growth. The rising medical tourism in the region and initiatives by various companies for the development of advanced technologies are also expected to propel market growth in the coming years.
