Report Overview
The dental impression trays are instruments made from metal or plastic, which are used to hold the material needed for dental imprint and to withstand the impression. These trays are used in orthodontics and prosthodontics procedures to take an accurate impression of the subject’s teeth.
The rise in the prevalence of periodontal disease, the surge in awareness of the need to maintain oral hygiene, the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and the increase in the edentulous population are the major factors boosting the lucrative growth of the market. For instance, according to the American College of Prosthodontics, above 36 million people in the U.S. are edentulous and nearly 120 million people are missing a minimum number of one tooth. Moreover, an inclination toward advanced novel technology-based products is among the other considerable factors supporting market growth.
During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, any elective or non-emergency dental care treatment was postponed for the initial timeframe, which has created a decline in the demand for dental impression trays along with other dental equipment. However, with the ease of restrictions in 2021 and significant economic revival, the market has witnessed a considerable recovery and rebound in market revenues, thus witnessing significant growth over the forecast period.
Based on the end user, the dental hospitals & clinics segment is anticipated to account for the highest market share in the dental impression trays market, owing to the fact that people like to visit private dental clinics and hospitals due to high efficiency in service, individual attention, and contemporary or modern technology involved with the procedures.
The North American region is expected to hold the lion’s share and witness lucrative growth in the market over the forecast period. The factors such as increased preventive approaches towards oral care and hygiene, a surge in disposable income, and rising R&D activities in dentistry are boosting the region’s growth.
