Dental Turbine Market (2020 - 2027) Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Speed (High, Low), By End Use (Hospitals, Dental Offices), By Region (North America, Europe, APAC, Latin America, MEA), And Segment Forecasts

Report Overview 

The global dental turbine market size was valued at USD 113.9 million in 2019 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1% from 2020 to 2027. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for not only cosmetic dentistry but also for other dental procedures such as restorative and orthodontics. The market is also driven by the technological advancements in dental turbine handpieces, growing oral health awareness, and the rise in dental diseases.

As per the Global Burden of Disease Study in 2017, it is estimated that 3.5 billion people around the world are suffering from oral diseases. Caries in permanent teeth are the most common condition. The high prevalence of tooth decay is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market for dental turbines.

As per the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 84.9% of children from 2-17 years of age, 64.0% of adults from 18 to 64 years of age, and 65.6% of adults aged 65 and above had visited a dentist in 2017. Some most frequently carried out dental procedures include dental fillings, bonding, implants, dental crowns, canalling, dental bridges, periodontal treatments, and maxillofacial procedures. Thus, the high demand for these dental treatments is anticipated to favor the growth of the market for the dental turbine.

Furthermore, according to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in 2017, nearly 99.7% of adults believe that smile is an important social asset. While nearly 74.0% of adults feel that an unattractive smile can negatively impact a person’s chance of career success. Such factors have led people to opt for beautification and restorative procedures. This, in turn, is likely to drive the cosmetic dentistry market in the future and thereby favor the growth of the market for dental turbines.

Speed Insights

The high-speed turbine handpiece segment held the largest market share of 51.8% in 2019. The segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth in the market for dental turbines over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high adoption of high-speed handpieces by dentists. For instance, according to an article published by A-dec, an average dental practice requires at least 3 high-speed handpieces and around 2 low-speed handpieces for each operation. A study published in the Journal of Prosthodontics, mentions the high usage of high-speed handpieces in Canada and Puerto Rico.

The low-speed turbine handpieces are anticipated to witness substantial growth in the market for dental turbines over the forecast period. These handpieces are used for procedures such as caries and cavity removal, teeth preparation before filling, crown, and veneer treatments. The wide application scope is anticipated to contribute to segment growth.

End-use Insights

The hospital segment dominated the market for dental turbines and held the largest revenue share of 51.4% in 2019. The segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 16.4% over the forecast period owing to the increased healthcare infrastructure in developing countries and affiliations of hospitals with dental schools.

As per the guidelines issued by local and global regulatory agencies, as a measure to combat COVID-19, dental settings were recommended to focus only on emergency and urgent visits and postpone all elective visits. This has increased the financial burden on the dentists, especially on the dentist whose practice is mainly comprised of non-emergency services as well as the one having issues related to equipment maintenance and facility rent during the lockdown. The above-mentioned issues are anticipated to lead to the closure of several small dental offices.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the dental turbine market in 2019 and accounted for more than 36.0% of the revenue share in 2019. This is attributed to the presence of skilled dentists and advanced equipment, a high level of oral health awareness, and high demand for cosmetic dentistry in the region.

In the Asia Pacific, the market for the dental turbine is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to a rise in dental conditions, low cost of treatment, an increase in demand for technologically advanced tools, and increased focus on dental aesthetics and oral wellbeing.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market for dental turbines is highly fragmented, marked by the presence of a large number of domestic as well as international players.
