Gitnux/Report 2026

Dental Medical Technology Industry Statistics

Dental Medical Technology is still scaling fast, with markets projected to jump from $7.7 billion CAD/CAM in 2023 to $13.7 billion by 2030 and from $9.9 billion implants to $18.2 billion over the same period, while clinics shift from analog impressions to digital workflows that cut remakes by 18%. Pair that growth with quality and risk requirements like ISO 14971 and FDA QSR that increasingly shape time, cost, and device outcomes, and you get a page built for anyone trying to understand what adoption really changes in chairside care and lab production.

Market size
The global dental equipment market was valued at $12.5 billion in 2025. A separate 2026 estimate places the market at $13.2 billion, reflecting differences in market scope and methodology across research providers.[57]
Forecast & CAGR
Grand View Research forecasts growth from $13.2 billion in 2026 to $20.9 billion in 2033, equivalent to a 6.8% CAGR. Fortune Business Insights estimates a 7.18% CAGR from 2026 to 2034, with the market reaching $14.62 billion.[57][59]
Market share & regions
North America accounted for 38.6% of global dental equipment revenue in 2025 according to Grand View Research. Fortune Business Insights reports a higher 41.34% North American share for the same year, illustrating variation by market definition.[57][59]
Segmentation
Systems and parts represented 40.4% of global dental equipment revenue in 2025. In the United States, systems and parts accounted for 43.82% of dental equipment revenue in 2025, while the broader product landscape includes imaging, laboratory machines, lasers and hygiene-maintenance devices.[57]
Key players & concentration
The dental implants segment is concentrated among large manufacturers: Global Market Insights estimates that the five leading companies held 80% of the market in 2025, with Institut Straumann exceeding 32%. Named leading companies include Straumann, Envista, Dentsply Sirona, Osstem Implant and ZimVie.[60]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Demand is being supported by aging populations, untreated oral disease, medical tourism and adoption of CAD/CAM, digital radiography, imaging and laser systems. The World Health Organization estimates that oral diseases affect nearly 3.7 billion people, while affordability and limited service availability remain major constraints, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.[61][57]
Consumer behavior & competition
The unmet-care base remains large: the World Health Organization estimates that oral diseases affect nearly 3.7 billion people, and the U.S. CDC reports that 21% of adults aged 20–64 had at least one untreated cavity in the latest cited data. Competition is increasingly shaped by digital workflow integration, implant systems and organized dental-clinic networks.[61][62][57]
M&A
Straumann reported two 2025 business combinations: it increased its stake in maxon dental GmbH to full ownership on June 10, 2025, and obtained control of Promaton, an artificial-intelligence dental applications company, on July 17, 2025. The company said neither transaction had a material impact on 2025 revenue or net profit.[19]
Regulation
In fiscal 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued guidance covering performance criteria for the safety and performance-based pathway for endosseous dental implants and implant abutments. Dental devices remain subject to FDA device controls, including applicable premarket and postmarket requirements.[63]
Latest news
Straumann’s 2025 annual report highlighted more than 7.3 million smiles transformed during the year and continued market-share gains across key implant segments. Its 2025 acquisitions of Straumann Ceramic GmbH and Promaton also show the industry’s continuing movement toward ceramic components and AI-enabled dental applications.[19]
