Europe Dental Equipment Market

Europe Dental Equipment Market Size

The size of the European dental equipment market was valued at USD 2.08 billion in 2024. The European market size is further predicted to be worth USD 3.20 billion by 2033 from USD 2.18 billion in 2025, with a growing potential of 4.9% during the forecast period.

Europe is one of the prominent regional markets for dental equipment worldwide. The growing healthcare expenditure, favorable reimbursement conditions, and growth in the geriatric population are contributing to the expansion of the dental equipment market in Europe. The European region is predicted to grow during the forecast period owing to people's less acceptance of dental care and growing cases of infectious diseases caused by a lack of oral hygiene.

MARKET DRIVERS

Growing Population Suffering from Dental Issues in Europe

An increasing number of people in the European population suffering from dental problems is one of the major factors propelling the dental equipment market in Europe. Due to increased age, nearly 50% of the European population suffers from periodontitis. Dental problems such as tooth decay, bad breath, sensitive teeth, root infections, and others affect many people from the age of 5 years. Tooth decay is the most common dental problem across Europe. For instance, nearly 1 in 3 adults in the UK have tooth decay problems. The usage and demand for dental equipment are due to Europe's growing dental disease burden.

YoY Growth in the Aging Population in Europe

The growing aging population is further fuelling the growth of the European dental equipment market. Aged people are much more likely to have gum and tooth loss problems; these problems cause significant trouble in consuming food and need immediate dental treatment. Dental equipment is designed and manufactured for older people to increase their comfort levels during treatment procedures. This technologically advanced dental equipment requires skilled professionals to handle and work without causing any other damage to the tooth.

YoY Growth in the Number of Dental Clinics in Europe

An increase in the number of dental clinics across Europe and growing investments from the governments of European countries promote the growth rate in the European market. Due to the increasing number of dental-related courses, most people are considering it to pursue as a profession. Manufacturers focus on producing advanced dental equipment and reducing pain and infection during dental-related surgery, which is anticipated to have a favorable impact on the dental equipment market in Europe. Furthermore, factors such as increasing demand for cosmetic surgery and a growing number of dental practitioners providing large-level dental care services that enable dental implants to be cost-effective to the end-user are expected to favor the European market during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, restraints that hamper the market's growth are a lack of proper reimbursement policies and a stringent regulatory framework. Furthermore, the high cost of dental equipment and maintenance and the lack of skilled professionals are the major factors restraining the market growth. In addition, the unavailability of some of the equipment in developing areas also hampers market growth. Along with this, the lack of product approvals and awareness about the different dental treatments impedes market growth.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The European market accounted for the second-largest dental equipment market share worldwide in 2023. The strong position of Europe in the global market is primarily attributed to the increased demand for cosmetic dentistry, and the growing patient population for dental problems is driving growth in developed regions across Europe. In addition, the rapid adoption of modern technologies and the introduction of novel items further favour the dental equipment market in this region.

The German dental equipment market accounted for the most significant European market share in 2023. In Germany, several population-based surveys show high dental caries in the older population, which contributes to the growth of the German dental equipment industry. Other factors, such as increased demand for cosmetic dentistry, increased dental incidence, and the creation of dental products, also drive the German dental equipment market. In addition, the GBD/Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation 2017 study indicates that over 33,000 dental caries were observed per 100,000 people in Germany in 2017. In Germany, dental caries is the most common condition. Because of the high frequency of dental caries in this country, dental practices are increasing, resulting in a greater need for dental products, enhancing the market in the coming future.

The French dental equipment market is likely to share a promising share in the European market during the forecast period. Prosthodontic equipment is expected to hold the greatest market share in the treatment sector of the French dental equipment market during the forecast period. In addition, older people with poor cognitive health have a more challenging time managing medical conditions, drugs, and other self-care, such as dental cleanliness, which is expected to increase the demand for dental equipment in France.

Countries like the UK, Italy, and Spain are projected to showcase a significant share of the dental equipment market. The market growth is driven by the government's increased investment in hospitals' development, supporting the market's expansion. The rise of software technologies is also fueling market expansion. Imaging and radiology technology that makes the treatment procedure easier and more comfortable while maintaining high accuracy expands the market's prospects. The influence of teeth is directly represented by changes in lifestyles and eating patterns, which only strengthens the market's expansion. Increased research institutes and training programs also contribute to the market's lopsided growth trajectory across Europe.
