Endodontic Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Instruments, Endodontic Consumables), By End Use (Dental Hospitals, Dental Clinics), By Region (EU, APAC, North America), And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global endodontic devices market size was valued at USD 1.75 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2022 to 2030. An increase in the prevalence of dental caries, high expenditure on dental care, and a rise in out-of-pocket expenditure are some of the major factors driving the market growth. Increasing demand for rotary instruments, improved reimbursement scenario, rising dental tourism, and infrastructural improvements are likely to support the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, the growing investments by key players, such as Danaher and Dentsply Sirona, for geographical expansion are expected to further boost the market growth. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services report in 2020, the total healthcare spending in the U.S. has increased to around USD 3.8 trillion.

However, the total dental expenditures have declined from 4.5% to 3.7% from 2000 to 2020, and out-of-pocket dental expenditures have remained more than 40% of all dental care spending during this period. The market saw a slight setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the second and third quarters of 2020, particularly due to supply chain bottlenecks and national shutdowns. However, after the second quarter of 2020, dental procedures like root canalling, implants, etc. started to resume and this might boost the market growth. The endodontic consumables type segment in the U.S. market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. A rise in the consumption of sugar and tobacco has led to an increased prevalence of tooth decay and infection.

In the U.K., oral health is improving; however, 24.7% of children aged 5 years & above have tooth decay with an average of 3 to 4 teeth affected. Poor oral health leads to expensive treatments, resulting in a significant burden on the national government. Dental tourism is growing worldwide due to an increase in competition and technological advancements, enabling providers in developing countries to offer dental care at economic costs as compared to their counterparts in developed countries. Dental tourism involves patients seeking dental care outside their local healthcare systems. Dental tourism has gained popularity among Europeans and Americans owing to the cost savings associated with services, such as root canals, fillings, dental bridges, and orthodontic care, in destination countries.

In Costa Rica, international tourists seeking dental care accounted for 40% of all medical tourist populations. According to Promed, people from around the world travel to developing countries for dental treatments, primarily because it saves 60-70% of their overall treatment costs. As per the WHO, European and Asian countries have a high prevalence of dental diseases with dental caries being the most frequent dental condition. Developing Asian countries like India and China are witnessing an increase in dental diseases due to the growing consumption of sugary foods, poor tooth brushing habits, and a low level of awareness about dental caries. However, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the overall dental and oral hygiene market.

Regular dental visits, appointments, and consultations were ceased in many countries and key manufacturers reported supply chain and operational constraints. However, the market is expected to recover, as according to the American Dental Association, 39% of practices in the U.S are fully operational with the volume of patients they had before the pandemic. Dentsply Sirona which is a key market player in the dental market reported that its Technologies & Equipment segment, which includes endodontic devices, witnessed 6.8% growth in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to 2020. This indicates that the dental market is recovering from the losses caused by the pandemic.

Type Insights

The instruments segment led the global market in 2021 with a revenue share of over 55%. Endodontic motors held a majority of the revenue share in the instruments segment, as hospitals and other dental care practices prefer a quick and safer way to perform the root canal process. The rising preference for NiTi instruments that provide super-elasticity and help preserve the original anatomy of the apical foramen is anticipated to boost the motor-driven equipment segment. Handpieces are conventional yet emerging technology with a variety of electric handpieces with different designs, applications, materials, and manufacturing methods. In recent years, the use of multiaxis grinding machinery has provided a better cutting ability and file flexibility to hand files. Electric motors are relatively inexpensive compared to air-driven units and are compact & mobile.

The most used endodontic motors are those that have a continuous and reciprocating motion function as they provide ease of use and save time. Dentsply Sirona offers an X-Smart IQ handpiece, which is a continuous and reciprocating cordless motor with an Apple iOS-controlled application, offering different torque settings and real-time torque monitoring. The access preparation segment, within the consumables domain, is driven by the growth in guided endodontics that allows better predictability, safety, and clinical feasibility to locate canals & prevent root perforation. Navigation in dentistry is a significant example of technological advancement as it has transformed surgical interventions to be safer, more reliable, and predictable. A computer-aided design-based methodology has spurred the demand for customized endodontics.

End-use Insights

The dental hospitals end-use segment dominated the global market in 2021 and accounted for the highest market share of more than 48.00%. Based on end-uses, the global market is divided into dental clinics, hospitals, and academic & research institutes. Emergency hospital visits for preventable oral health conditions have risen dramatically over the past decade and most of these visits were by young adults. According to the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Health Policy Institute, around 2.2 million people visit the hospital emergency department annually for dental pain, and 41% of these visits are reimbursed through Medicaid.

The presence of skilled & certified dental professionals like dental surgeons in hospitals is also boosting the segment growth. Hospital facilities are well equipped with advanced devices for effective diagnosis and quality treatment. Moreover, many patients prefer dental hospitals to undergo surgical dental treatments as they offer high-quality care and service. However, the dental clinic segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Dental clinics are increasingly focusing on personalized attention, customized treatment plans, lower waiting time, providing specialist treatment, adopting upgrading dental technology, and providing treatment that is effective yet economical. These factors are driving the segment growth.

Regional Insights

On the basis of geographies, the market has been divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and MEA. North America emerged as the largest regional market and accounted for the maximum share of more than 41.00% in 2021. It is estimated to retain the leading position throughout the forecast period. As per a study conducted in December 2020 by the U.S. CDC, one in four adults has untreated dental problems and 46% of adults aged over 30 years have signs of gum disease; the prevalence of dental caries was 13%. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market during the forecast period.

This growth can be credited to the rising number of dental care centers, growing dental tourism sector, and increasing R&D activities in this field. The Asian Pacific Endodontic Confederation (APEC) is an association focused on the specialty of endodontics in the Asia Pacific region. The confederation aims for the development and promotion of high standards of endodontic research & clinical practice along with cultivating a closer professional network of endodontic practitioners within the region. The presence of such organizations is expected to further boost regional market growth.
