MARKET DRIVERS

The increasing prevalence of dental disorders across the European region is one of the major factors propelling the growth of the European dental laboratories market. An estimated 50% of the European population is suffering from some sort of dental disease including periodontitis and other related conditions. Factors contributing to these disorders include poor oral hygiene practices, unhealthy dietary habits, inadequate fluoride intake, impure water sources, consumption of sugary foods, smoking and alcohol consumption. Dental laboratories play a pivotal role in the development and manufacturing of various dental care products. These laboratories employ skilled professionals who collaborate with dental practitioners to create a range of dental products, such as crowns, bridges, dentures and other specialized dental solutions.

The growing aging population and rising awareness about dental hygiene across Europe further contribute to the European dental laboratories market growth. People who are old are most likely to suffer from dental issues such as loose teeth, gum disorders and halitosis. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial to enhance the quality of life for older individuals enabling them to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and boost their confidence through a pleasant smile. In the UK alone, approximately 11 million people rely on dentures, with a significant proportion being individuals aged 60 and above. This trend has prompted regional manufacturers to prioritize the development of personalized dentures, thereby driving market growth.

The growing number of advancements in manufacturing practices of dental care products drive the European market growth. Dental laboratories in Europe are dedicated to producing effective dental products that address various oral health issues with support from the governments of European countries. Personalized equipment has gained popularity due to its convenience in the treatment process. Manufacturers also focus on developing materials tailored to meet the specific requirements of healthcare providers and users. The growing number of R&D activities in the dental industry, increasing support from public and private sector organizations and the rising number of product approvals in Europe further accelerate the growth rate of the European dental laboratories market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost of dental laboratories is one of the major factors hampering the European market growth. Factors such as the shortage of skilled professionals, infrastructure requirements, lack of awareness about dental treatment and financial constraints further hinder the European market growth. The high cost of treatment procedures and potential side effects of dental products further impede market growth in Europe.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The European region held a substantial share of the global market in 2023 and the domination of the European region is predicted to continue during the forecast period. The growing awareness about dental issues and an increasing number of initiatives from European governments to regulate licensed dental laboratories propel the European market growth. Germany had the leading share of the European market in 2023 and is predicted to continue to lead throughout the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for artificial teeth, rise in clinical trials and increasing number of awareness programs.
