Market Ecosystem
The global dental 3D printing market is analyzed from four perspectives: type, technology, application, end-user, and region.
Dental 3D Printing Market by Type
[896534523]
Based on the types, the global dental 3D printing market is segmented into equipment, materials, and services.
The services segment accounts for the largest market revenue share owing to the large demand for outsourcing dental product design by hospitals and dental clinics. Additionally, the need for dental 3D printing services is being fueled by the growth of dental labs, the increased outsourcing of different manufacturing tasks to dental laboratories, and the rising demand for fabricated/customized dental frame solutions needed for several applications.
Dental 3D Printing Market by Technology
Based on the technologies, the global dental 3D printing technology market is segmented into VAT photo-polymerization, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, polyjet technology, and others (binder jetting, electron beam melting, etc.).
The selective laser sintering segment accounts for the largest revenue share of the market owing to its high precision and accuracy. The selective laser sintering segment captured almost 40% of the global market in 2022. Due to its benefits over competing technologies, including its high level of chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and surface finishing, the market segment is projected to remain dominant over the projection period.
But because of increased R&D expenditures on material jetting, electron beam melting, and binder jetting methods, the other segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate throughout the projection period. Due to the accessibility of a large variety of durable, biocompatible, and sterilizable thermoplastics in dentistry, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is becoming more and more popular. FDM is the most popular method for creating intricate shapes and patterns and is also highly cost-effective. This results from the rising rates of edentulism and tooth decay, fueling the segment's expansion.
Dental 3D Printing Market by Application
Based on the applications, the global dental 3D printing market is segmented into orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implantology.
Orthodontics has the largest revenue share of 38% in 2022. The increasing frequency of occurrences of misalignment and gaps in their teeth can be related to the segment's development. Furthermore, nearly 3 million Canadian and American teenagers wear braces, with the steadily increasing number of adults initiating orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) advises that children see their first orthodontist before age eight. The increased need for orthodontic treatment is propelling the dental 3D printing industry forward. The prosthodontics segment accounts for the fastest revenue growth share of the market owing to technological advancements and the growing prevalence of tooth decay that result in edentulism.
Dental 3D Printing Market by End User

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the dental profession from the initial closure in March 2020 until the present day. According to an article released in February 2021 titled "The Biggest Impact of COVID-19 on Dentistry," the biggest impact of the pandemic on dental clinics in Canada has been a decrease in income. Revenue lost the greatest since dentists were unable to practice during the initial shutdown. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the healthcare system, including the dentistry sector, according to another article released in September 2020, "A New Study Explores COVID-19's Significant Impact on the Dental Industry." When the epidemic first hit the United States in March and April, many dental clinics shuttered except for emergencies. Even when they reopened, there were significant alterations. According to an August American Dental Association poll of dentists, 98.9% were open, but only 47.6% reported "business as usual"; 51.3% were open but had "lower patient volume than usual."
Malocclusion, along with dental cavities and periodontal disease, is one of the most significant oral health issues, according to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics from 2021. Its frequency in children and adolescents varies widely and is thought to range from 39% to 93%. Among the other abnormalities, crowding was one of the most common, with a prevalence as high as 84%, and spacing was next, with a prevalence as high as 60%. As stated in the Maxillo-Faciale Clinique MFML article from June 2021, Class 1 dental malocclusions are the most typical malocclusions. Between the ages of 6 and 17, 50 to 55 percent of youngsters have Class 1 malocclusion.
