Asia-Pacific Dental Lab Market, By Products (General and Diagnostic Devices, Treatment-Based Devices and Others), Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Market Analysis and Insights
The equipment in the dental laboratory includes the full range of systems used for manufacturing fixed or removable dental prosthetics. The dental laboratory technician’s task is to fabricate crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances based on the prescription of a dentist. Many of these tasks require high precision, and the technician’s skill weighs heavily on the ultimate success of the treatment. Laboratory technicians are trained on the job or in formal education programs.
The technological advancement in the dental industry is the use of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) process; process, by developing high definition 3D scanning devices, more accurate, faster and simpler design Software, and precise subtractive or additive manufacturing of innovative materials.
Market Definition
A dental laboratory primary role is to provide restorative dentistry is to perfectly copy all of the functional and aesthetic parameters that have been defined by the dentist into a restorative solution. Throughout the entire restorative process, from the initial patient consultation, diagnosis, and treatment planning to final restoration placement, the communication routes between the dentist and the laboratory technician now can provide a complete transfer of information. Functional components, occlusal parameters, phonetics, and aesthetic requirements are just some of the essential types of information that are necessary for technicians to complete the fabrication of successful, functional, and aesthetic restorations. Today, as in the past, the communication tools between the dentist and the technician include photography, written documentation, and impressions of the patient's existing dentition.
The Asia-Pacific dental lab is supportive and aims to reduce the severity of the symptoms. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the dental lab market will grow at a CAGR of 13.4%, during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

Asia-Pacific Dental Lab Market Dynamics
Drivers
- High Prevalence Of Dental Disorders
Oral health is one of the most important aspects of maintaining the health of gums, teeth, and the oral-facial system, which allows for speaking, chewing, and smiling. According to World Health Organization’s report in March 2022, around 2.0 billion people worldwide are suffering from caries of a permanent tooth, among which around 520 million children suffer from caries of the primary tooth.
The most common dental disorders include tooth decay, periodontal diseases, and oral cancer.
For instance,
- In 2021, In the U.S. the data by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), states that more than 1 in 4 (26%) adults in the U.S. have untreated tooth decay. 70.1% of adults aged 65 years and above have periodontal disease, and 47.2% of adults aged 30 years and above have some form of periodontal disease
As the companies are constantly engaged in research and developmental activities, the knowledge about the prevalence of oral disorders would help in finding novel solutions and that would aid in more collaborations and partnerships with market players in countries such as the Asia-Pacific region. Thereby, increasing cases of dental disorders like dental caries, tooth decay, and oral cancers are expected to be boosting the growth of the global dental lab market.
- Rise In Research And Development Activity In Dental Industries
The pricing pressure has resulted in changes in the core dynamics of the dental implant industry. The innovations have created a substantial increase in the number of local and regional players involved in the creation of similar products and offering them at a lower cost.
For instance,
- In 2018, Young Innovations (U.S.) announced the acquisition of Johnson-Promidet (U.S.). The company focuses on high-quality dental handpiece solutions. This acquisition will result in delivering innovative, high-quality products and solutions to clinicians and their patients and also enhance their portfolio of brands and products through organic growth and acquisitions.
The increase in research and development activities has made the companies more active in extending their services in the market targeting more customers in the market leading to a growth in the global dental lab market.
Opportunities
- New Product Releases
The major players are also trying to devise specific strategies, such as product launches, acquisitions, approvals, expansions, and partnerships, to ensure the smooth running of the business, avoid risks, and increase the long-term growth in the sales of the market.
The companies which are involved in the dental lab market have been coming up with various new products based on new technologies most noticeable launches amongst these in the field of dental labs are in the field of Dental Imaging and digital dentistry.
For instance,
- In 2019, Zimmer Biomet (Indiana, U.S.) announced the launch of its new line of non-resorbable membranes and sutures which are specifically designed to eliminate bacterial infiltration into the surgical site
These strategic initiatives such as by the market players, including acquisition, conferences, and focused segment product launches, are helping the companies grow and improve the company's product portfolio, ultimately leading to more revenue generation. Hence, these strategic initiatives by the market players provide an opportunity that is helping them to drive market growth.
Restraints/Challenges
- Lack Of Proper Reimbursement Scenario
There is a rapid change that is occurring in the dentistry treatments, dental insurance, reimbursement rates, and rules and regulations are also changing. The dental billing services have been aiming at submitting accurate claims to insurance payers and have been receiving maximum reimbursement; these claims are being declined due to many factors which may include invalid documentation amongst others. The survey conducted by Bankers Healthcare Group (BHG) revealed that the decline in the reimbursement rates is a very major concern amongst the dental professionals.
The current coverage evaluation procedure lacks transparency, and also it differs among different payers, which ultimately leads to inconsistent coverage decisions and hence limits healthcare professionals and patients' to access the best treatment. This insurance issue hinders the market and creates various challenges for the industry making it an accountable restrain to the market.
- Lack Of Skilled Technicians
There is a shortage of skilled labor in the field of healthcare in emerging or developing countries due to migrations and several other factors.
Africa had the most inadequate health system especially dealing with the regions in sub-Saharan Africa, which have been severely damaged due to the migration of the health professionals. On average 57 countries were noted to have a critical shortage of healthcare workers with a deficit of around 2.4 million doctors and nurses.
Covid-19 Impact on the Dental Lab Market
During the pandemic, dental lab has a remarkable effect on reducing mortality and morbidity of patients with COVID-19. Further large-scale studies are needed to approve these results. A protocol for dental lab in COVID-19 infection should be defined to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes. Dental laboratories and the technicians are leaving declining levels of extinction. According to National Center of Biotechnology Information, studies have shown that there is high level of contamination for dental impressions arriving in a dental laboratory.
Recent Development
- In September, Envista formed an agreement with Planmeca OY. The agreement stated that, Envista, would sell its KaVo Treatment Unit and Instrument business to Planmeca OY for USD 455 million, for the potential earn-out payment of up to USD 30 million. It would increase the number of customers and increase the availability of KaVo Treatment Unit across dental clinics.
