The Europe clear aligners market is expected to reach US$ 2,688.26 million by 2028 from US$ 815.19 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.3 % from 2021 to 2028.
The growth of the market is attributed to the key driving factors such as the growing prevalence of dental problems, rising incidence of malocclusions in children, and increasing demand for dental cosmetic procedures. However, the high cost of clear aligners hinders the market growth.
The prevalence rate of dental diseases is increasing day by day as a large number of people are diagnosed with dental problems and high cases of oral and dental issues are found in developed countries like Belgium & Netherlands. According to the Platform for Better Oral Health in Europe, more than 50% of the European population may suffer from some form of periodontitis and over 10% have severe dental disease, with prevalence increasing to 70-85% of the population aged 60- 65 years of age. With a 64.0% increase in disability-adjusted life year (DALY) due to oral conditions across the world, the number of people with oral conditions has increased from 2.5 billion in 1990 to 3.5 billion in 2015. By pioneering efforts and potentially different approaches the oral health goal of reducing the oral diseases can be achieved by 2020.
In Germany, there are around 15 suppliers of aligners, including both the internationally established market leaders such as Invisalign or Clear Correct and emerging brands such as DrSmile or Sunshinesmile. In some cases, the leading brands are backed by major corporations such as Straumann, Dentsply or Align Technology, which in turn is a strong indicator that aligners will be an established product in the dental market in the near future.
According to the data availed by WHO, around 3.58 billion people are affected by dental diseases that is almost half of the total global population. Severe periodontal diseases are the 11th most prevalent disease which may result in tooth loss. In European countries including Netherlands and Belgium, 5–20% of middle-aged (35–44 years) adults and up to 40% of older people (65–74 years) are suffering from periodontal (gum) diseases. Around 30% of geriatric patients of age 65–74 years have no natural teeth that reduce their function and quality of life in Europe. The prevalence rate of dental diseases has increased in 15 years. This significant rate of increment of dental diseases and disorders will drive the growth of the market.
Dental cosmetic surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures across the Europe. The increasing significance of aesthetics, growth of the aging population, willingness to spend out-of-pocket, and rising awareness of oral hygiene and aesthetics are the primary drivers for the growth of the European markets. According to the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry (ESCD), cosmetic dentistry experienced a recent boom with an increase in procedures demanded by people of Europe.
The cost of the dental cosmetic procedure is less in Hungary. Hungary has emerged as the top destination in Europe for dental tourism with approximately 7,000 visitors every year. Low price of these procedures is the key factor attributed to this growth. For instance, root canal treatment in U.S. starts from USD 550 while in Hungary it is only around USD 69. Zirconium crowns cost over USD 1,250 in the U.S. while it costs only USD 440 in Hungary.
Germany held the largest market share for the clear aligner market in 2021. The market is expected to grow due to the high prevalence rate of dental problems, along with the rising demand for dental cosmetic procedures. Moreover, increasing incidence of malocclusions in children is also expected to promote growth of clear aligner market across Europe.
