The State of Global Oral Health Report 2022 shows that about 3.5 billion people worldwide have oral disease and about 2 billion people have dental caries in their permanent teeth. About three quarters of the global oral disease patients are from low- or middle-income countries. With the economic development, urbanization and lifestyle changes in Southeast Asia, the prevalence of oral diseases in Southeast Asia is also increasing.

Products such as high sugar foods, beverages, tobacco and alcohol are among the major causes of oral health problems. In Singapore, for example, the increased time spent indoors by residents during the COVID-19 epidemic led to a large increase in the consumption of snacks and beverages in Singapore. At the same time, about 80% of Singaporeans suffer from oral diseases, with tooth sensitivity, tooth discoloration and plaque being the main oral problems faced by Singaporeans. According to CRI’s analysis, similar problems exist in other Southeast Asian countries, so the Southeast Asian dental industry has a promising future.

The Southeast Asian dental industry varies somewhat from country to country. According to CRI analysis, the dental industry in Singapore has a certain scale and the industry is growing fast. Singapore Ministry of Health data show that in 2021, Singapore has 1,147 dental clinics, the number of 3.49% year-on-year growth, including 248 public clinics, up 1.22%, and 899 private institutions, up 4.29%. The dental industry in Vietnam is relatively small, and surveys show that in Vietnam, there are only 0.4 dentists per 10,000 people, far below the level of mature markets such as Europe and the United States.

Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of nearly 700 million by the end of 2022, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.

According to CRI’s analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$79,000 in 2022. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2022. The population and minimum wage levels of each country also vary greatly. Brunei, which has the smallest population, will have a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2022, while Indonesia, which has the largest population, will have a population of about 280 million people in 2022.
CRI expects the Southeast Asian dental industry to continue to grow from 2023-2032.
