Dental laboratories are used for surgery, orthodontia, and other dental applications. Digital platforms like unified digital simulations and virtual planning for dentistry operations help provide treatment steps and workflow with software intimation.

Dental laboratories and systems can effectively manage the spread of infectious diseases using manual interventions. In addition, the rising adoption of digital impression techniques in dental laboratories helps improve patient compliance and reduces the risk of infection. This technique is used for the aging population with respiratory illnesses, such as chronic or acute mucosa diseases.

Additionally, full-lab automation is gaining traction, and a significant rise in 3D printing technology within dentistry is further projected to fuel the overall market growth. This technology also enables dental laboratories to deliver their patients with the fully automated fabrication of customized plans. It can be used for treatment and offered with personalized dental devices and aids. The automated inventory management systems promote production efficiency within dental laboratories, providing lucrative growth opportunities for the global market.

Rising Geriatric Population and Product Launch by the Companies

According to the data published in OSHA in 2023, the global population share aged 65 years or above is projected to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. By 2050, the global population aged 65 years or over will likely be more than twice that of children under 5 and 12.  Similarly, in June 2022, according to the United States Census Bureau, the 65-and-older population grew by over 34.2% and by 3.2% from 2018 to 2019. Hence, an increase in the geriatric population and rising demand for cosmetic dental procedures are major factors driving the dental lab market. Dental laboratories provide customized dental solutions with advanced technological support, and the latest equipment may support the growth of dental labs in the future. Such factors are anticipated to increase the adoption of dental labs, thereby contributing to the studied market growth.

In addition, new product launches and strategic activities by dental laboratory companies have resulted in positive market growth. For instance, in June 2022, ZimVie Inc. launched the US FDA- T3 PRO Tapered Implant and Encode Emergence Healing Abutment in the United States. Similarly, in July 2021, 3M Oral Care launched Clarity Aligners Flex + Force. This new aligner system allows orthodontists to choose from two unique aligner materials in one treatment design and gives patients a customized treatment. Thus, increasing product launches by the key players of the studied market are expected to have noteworthy growth over the forecast period.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are the factors that can hinder the market growth?

The high cost of equipment and installation and dearth of skilled professionals in the dental laboratories across the globe are the major factors expected to hamper the market growth in the coming years. The cost of equipment required in the dental laboratories is much higher; the cost associated with installation is also higher. For instance, the cost of dental CAD/CAM equipment is approximately US$ 100,000. The dentist or the owner of the dental laboratory incurs additional cost to install the equipment and train a technician. Thus, the high cost is responsible for the expensive usual and customized fees for making crowns, bridges, and others.

What are dental lab?

A dental lab is an organization that manufactures or customizes dental products such as dentures, implants, a crown (cap), veneers, and others. Dental laboratory plays a vital role in the restorative dentistry. It is responsible for manufacturing and providing outsourcing of dental aesthetic products. It is owned by a dentist, and dental technicians are employed for assistance.

What are the trends in dental lab market?

During recent years, the rise in the use of 3D printing has been observed in dental laboratories. A 3D printed model is more accurate in matters of size and shape and can be taken directly from a doctor-supplied intraoral scan. Through this technique, a large number of models can also be printed simultaneously, which highly saves the amount of time required. Also, 3D printing technology continues to advance; moreover, the prices are expected to come down during the future years. For instance, the cost incurred by dental laboratories to develop a 3D printed model using an intraoral scan and CAD/CAM processes is less compared to the expenses of making it conventionally. Moreover, the technicians involved require less time to carry out the procedure, which reduced the labor cost.
