Dentures Market Growth & Trends

The global dentures market size is expected to reach USD 2.3 billion by 2028, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2028. The advancements in dental prosthetics and rising demand for dentures by the geriatric population are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. According to FDI World Dental Federation, dental diseases affect over 3.9 billion people across the world, with untreated tooth decay affecting over 40% of the world’s population. According to the U.S. CDC, around 25% of adults have one or more untreated dental problems.

In emerging economies such as India and China, tooth loss, dental caries, periodontal diseases, xerostomia, and potentially malignant disorders are more frequently observed in elderly people with poor oral hygiene. According to World Dental Federation, globally, about 30% of people aged 65 to 74 years have no natural tooth, and this burden is expected to increase with the aging of the population. The growing incidence of oral diseases in the older age group is likely to drive demand for dentures in the coming years.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on the dental care industry in the initial phase. Due to the imposed social distancing guidelines, the dental practices were not allowed to operate. The dentists were only allowed emergency cases. According to the ADA, the non-emergency dental procedures were needed to be postponed. However, the market has been recovering at a steady speed.
