The global dental consumables market size was estimated at USD 36.37 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 73.46 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.17% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is attributed to the rising prevalence of dental disorders, increasing awareness about oral hygiene, technological advancements in dental materials, a growing elderly population, and higher demand for cosmetic dentistry.
In addition, expanding dental tourism, particularly in emerging economies, and increased investments in dental infrastructure further support market expansion. According to data published by WHO in March 2025, oral diseases affect an estimated 3.7 billion people.
The increasing prevalence of dental caries and tooth decay is a key driver of growth in the global market. Dental decay remains one of the most widespread chronic conditions, affecting billions worldwide, particularly children, adolescents, and older adults. Factors such as poor dietary habits, high sugar consumption, inadequate oral hygiene, and limited access to preventive dental care in low- and middle-income countries have contributed to a surge in untreated dental cavities. This rising burden of dental disease has led to greater demand for restorative dental procedures, such as fillings, crowns, root canal treatments, and extractions, which require a high volume of consumables, including dental cements, bonding agents, composite resins, impression materials, and dental amalgams.
Furthermore, the growing awareness of oral health and its link to systemic health has driven increased use of preventive consumables, such as fluoride varnishes, sealants, and desensitizing agents, as the number of patients requiring treatment increases. For instance, according to data published by CDC in May 2024, over 50% of children between the ages of 6 and 8 have at least one cavity in their primary teeth, a trend that persists into adolescence, with a similar percentage of 12 to 19-year-olds experiencing cavities in their permanent teeth.
"Women, as the primary caregivers to children, have a great influence on their development. With the right empowerment tools, women have the potential to play a positive role in yielding desirable oral health outcomes". Dr Khabiso Ramphona, a specialist in community dentistry at the University of the Western Cape and the Chair of the Public Health Association of South Africa, Dental Public Health Special Interest Group.
Technological advancements driving the dental consumables market include developing next-generation dental implant systems for improved osseointegration, surgical efficiency, and immediate loading protocols. Innovations such as deep conical connections, enhanced macro designs, and proprietary implant-abutment interfaces enable greater primary stability, even in challenging bone conditions. These advancements support minimally invasive procedures, reduce treatment time, and improve long-term prosthetic outcomes-thereby increasing the adoption of advanced implants and associated consumables across diverse clinical settings.
In February 2024, ZimVie Inc., a key player in life sciences within the
spine and dental sectors, introduced the TSX Implant in Japan. The TSX Implants are specifically designed to facilitate standard loading protocols and immediate extraction, providing improved placement predictability and strong primary stability in soft and dense bone types. Built upon more than two decades of clinical experience, these implants are crafted to support peri-implant health, preserve crestal bone, ensure lasting osseointegration, and deliver stable prosthetic outcomes.
In July 2024, BioHorizons recently introduced the Tapered Pro Conical implants, marking the company's first dental implant line with a deep conical connection. These new implants are built on the macro design of the Tapered Pro series and incorporate the patented CONELONG connection, designed to streamline surgical procedures.
The increase in dentists worldwide contributes to expanding the dental consumables market. As more dental professionals enter the workforce, particularly in emerging economies and urban areas, the volume of dental procedures performed rises, leading to higher consumption of materials such as restorative products, preventive consumables, and infection control items. Furthermore, new dental clinics and practices are being established to accommodate growing patient demand, increasing the procurement of single-use items and diagnostic tools, all of which are part of the consumables market. In developed regions, the trend toward practice consolidation and group dental practices also promotes bulk purchasing of advanced consumables and adoption of digital dentistry, thereby boosting demand for high-quality, tech-compatible materials. For instance, registered dentists in Australia were 19,600 in 2022, with nearly 90% employed in their field.
The graph below shows the increase in licensed dentists in South Korea between 2019 and 2022. In 2019, there were 31,640 licensed dentists, which rose to 32,340 in 2020, 33,036 in 2021, and further to 33,707 by 2022. This upward trend reflects continued growth in the country's dental workforce, which is expected to support expanding dental services and drive increased demand for dental consumables.
In 2023, the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) launched the Global Maternal and Child Oral Health Initiative to promote oral health equity worldwide. This initiative underscores the critical importance of addressing oral health disparities among pregnant women, infants, and young children, who are often underserved in public health systems. By integrating oral health into maternal and child health programs, the initiative seeks to improve access to preventive care, promote early intervention, and reduce the global burden of dental diseases in vulnerable populations. It also advocates policy reforms, workforce training, and public awareness campaigns to ensure equitable oral health outcomes across all communities.
"Oral health is essential to overall health for all, and women are the key change agents in achieving oral health for children, families, and communities. Therefore, oral health must be positioned as an integral part of primary and antenatal health, focused on prevention. The new norm needs to be a caries-free mouth". Dr Hyewon Lee, the Chair of the WFPHA Oral Health Working Group.
