The global dental 3D printing market size was estimated at USD 3.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4% from 2024 to 2030. 

3D printing dentistry has established a strong position in today’s dental products due to the combination of state-of-art technology and a potential footprint. The design and development of advanced products such as invisible aligners, advanced fabrication to provide an aesthetic look, and delivery positioning are some of the factors that are increasing the demand and adoption of dental 3D printers. The user-friendliness and ease of 3D printing procedures have promoted the dentistry industry to print products that can meet the dental requirements of different individuals. These printers will increase the output and also reduce fabrication time. Furthermore, the digitalized workflow will also overcome procedural discomfort and enhance customer satisfaction.

The market is growing at a significant rate and is expected to grow further in emerging economies. The American College of Prosthodontists stated that about 15% of the edentulous population makes dentures each year. Edentulism affects the most vulnerable populations – economically disadvantaged and aging populations. Around 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth and more than 36 million Americans do not have any teeth. These numbers are expected to grow in the next two decades. The majority of aged population needs to go for replacements of the tooth. However, even partially toothless, aged or young people undergo dental procedures as they view dental implants as a viable option.
