U.S. Zirconia Based Dental Materials Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. zirconia based dental materials market size is expected to reach USD 182.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary market drivers are the increasing demand for aesthetic dentistry, growing oral health awareness, CAD/CAM technology utilization, and government initiatives. The increased demand for zirconia-based dental materials in dental manufacturing processes contributes to the market growth. Innovations in the CAD/CAM have improved the precision & quality of zirconia restorations. These advancements allow customized solutions that cater to individual patient needs while ensuring durability and strength comparable to traditional materials like metal ceramics. As dentists adopt these technologies, they offer enhanced aesthetic options that meet patient expectations, further driving the market growth for zirconia products.

The Cosmetic Dentistry State of the Industry 2022 Survey highlighted that the projected trend for the next 5 years matched forecasts from 2019. Key expected advancements, such as the broader adoption of CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies, had already begun to take shape. Chairside CAD/CAM usage has been observed to increase consistently. Within the member group (combining General and Accredited), utilization of chairside CAD/CAM went up gradually from 39% in 2019 to 40% in 2022. Nonmembers’ usage increased from 25% in 2019 to 31% in 2022.

Combining CAD/CAM technology with zirconia creates highly customized restorations that fit precisely within a patient’s mouth. The ability to produce complex shapes and designs through digital modeling enhances the performance of zirconia-based materials by minimizing gaps and improving overall fit. Advancements in zirconia formulations have improved translucency and color matching, making these materials more appealing for aesthetic applications in dentistry. In December 2023, Roland DGA introduced a new Chairside Zirconia for CAD/CAM milling-a significant advancement in same-day zirconia restorations. This fully sintered zirconia, designed for wet milling with DGSHAPE DWX-42W Series, simplified the process for dental procedures.
