Orthodontic Supplies Market Outlook by Product (Fixed Braces, Removable Braces, Adhesives, Accessories), Patient (Adults, Children and Teenagers), End User (Dental Clinics, Hospitals) - Global Industry Revenue Estimation and Demand Forecast to 2030

Market Overview

The orthodontic supplies market size stood at $5,206 million in 2021, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.90% during 2021–2030, to reach $11,214 million by 2030.

Orthodontic supplies are the consumables used to improve the alignment and appearance of crooked, protruding, and crowded teeth. Key dental orthopedics supplies include removable braces, fixed braces, and related adhesives.

The market is expected to grow as a result of the increase in the global prevalence of malocclusion and a rise in the focus on cost-effective treatments. Along with these factors, the government measures to raise the public awareness of orthodonture treatments and the expansion of the demand for high-tech supplies are set to drive the revenue for suppliers over the forecast period.

The use of dental supplies is to treat crooked teeth which is currently very popular. In addition to being crucial for orthodontic health, these treatments also enhance a person's overall look, which is why the demand for items such as braces and aligners is rising rapidly.

Moreover, the increasing awareness about malocclusion and advanced diagnostic tools that aid in the early detection of dental problems have increased the patient acceptance of treatments. In addition, the gradual shift toward preventative oral care, increasing concern for equipment hygiene, and favorable health reimbursement policies for the treatment of malocclusion are predicted to fuel the industry advance during the forecast period.

Impact Of COVID-19 on Global Market

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary decline in the access to hospitals and the temporary closure of clinics, which led to short-term negative growth in the market. This was a result of the temporary decrease in patients' dental expenditure. The number of monthly appointments at clinics also decreased as a result of the restricted or limited access to such clinics, temporary closure of hospitals, and enforcement of rigorous lockdowns.

As per the American Dental Association, the U.S. experienced an around 66% decrease in dental spending in 2020. Therefore, the low count of hospital visits and shutdown of the clinics impacted the trade of supplies during the pandemic.

Rising Adoption of Cosmetic Orthopedics

Cosmetic dental orthopedics encompasses treatments done to improve the appearance of a person’s gums and teeth and the correction of the bite. The primary focus of these treatments is to alter the color, shape, and alignment of the teeth. With the growing inclination toward appearance, cosmetic orthopedics has become a popular option. In addition, many technological advancements have been made in orthodonture products, to give an appealing look to the patient. Some of these advancements are transparent brackets for a professional look, colored brackets for children, and lingual brackets.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the U.S., around 62% of the adults aged 18 and over visited a dentist in 2020, while around 86% of the children aged 2–17 years saw one in 2019.

Resultingly the children & teenagers category, under the patient segment, held a significant share, of more than 70%, in 2021.

Rising Awareness of Oral Denture Treatments

Various activities, such as orthodontia conferences and workshops, are being conducted by different associations to create awareness among people regarding dental health and treatments. The main objective of these conferences is to increase awareness about the new treatments available and of the improvements in the existing methods.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), European Federation of Orthodontic Specialists Associations (EFOSA), Asian-Pacific Orthodontic Society (APOS), and many other such organizations are engaged in such activities.

As a result, the overall awareness among people with respect to the various options available for treatments is increasing. This is expected to lead to a surge in the use of the related consumables in the future. Thus, the rising awareness about these products, along with the increasing disposable income, is expected to drive orthodontic supplies demand.

Increasing Prevalence of Oral Diseases

More than anything, the demand for orthodontic supplies, such as braces and aligners, is on the surge due to the increasing prevalence of oral diseases. Some of the most-common dental conditions are dental cavities, periodontal diseases, oral cancer, and malocclusions.

According to the WHO, the majority of the oral disease cases are periodontal diseases, tooth decay, oro-dental trauma, oral cancers, noma, and cleft lips and palates.

Further, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study, 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases. Worldwide, 2 billion people have caries of the permanent teeth, while caries of the primary teeth affect 520 million children.

In most low- and middle-income countries, oral disease incidence is increasing with the growing urbanization rate and changing living conditions. This is primarily due to the inadequate exposure to fluoride (in the water supply and toothpaste), availability and affordability of food with a high sugar content, and poor access to oral healthcare services. The marketing of food and beverages high in sugar, as well as the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, leads to oral health conditions.

Moreover, as per the WHO’s stats, orofacial clefts are the most-common craniofacial birth defect, with a global prevalence of 1 in 1,000–1,500 births, with a wide variation in different populations. Genetic predisposition is a major cause; however, poor maternal nutrition, tobacco and alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and obesity also play a role.

Brackets Hold Leading Position

During the forecast period, brackets will continue to dominate the orthodontic supplies industry, holding around 60% share in 2030. Due to their usage comfort and ease and the fact that a bracket treatment is typically quicker, they are widely favored by orthodontists. The market revenue in this category will also increase as a result of the expanding access to dental healthcare insurance reimbursement policies.

Additionally, the worldwide market expansion in the brackets category is accelerated by the rising incidence of chronic orthodontic problems and malocclusion cases, rising hygiene awareness, and increasing dentist availability.

North America Region Is Largest Market for Such Supplies

The demand for such supplies is the highest in North America, which held 38.1% share in 2021, because of the rising incidence of dental issues. Moreover, the increasing presence of the significant players in the market and the rising awareness of the available treatments are expected to play a vital part in driving the growth of the North American orthodontic supplies industry.

Moreover, the U.S. dominated the North American market in 2021. This is credited to the increasing disposable income, growing number of people preferring aesthetic orthodontic treatments, and improving dental care system.
