Global dental 3D printing market is an emerging market that grows continuously owing to the fast integration of innovative technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. However, high 3D printing costs, rising payment issues, escalating copyright and patent issues, and a shortage of experienced personnel may restrain the market growth.

Global Dental 3D Printing Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Spurring Demand for 3D Printing in Dental Treatments and Solutions

Dental device manufacturers employ 3D printers to create a range of products, including those with intricate geometry or features that are specific to a patient's anatomy. A standard design is used to print a small number of devices, after which numerous exact replicas of the same device are created. The patient-specific imaging data is used to develop additional devices, sometimes known as patient-matched or patient-specific devices. The choice of technology for 3D printing is influenced by various elements, including the printer's ease of use and the intended purpose of printed objects.

The most popular technology for 3D printing medical equipment is powder bed fusion. This method works with a variety of components made of nylon and titanium, which are employed in medical equipment. With 3D printing, it is inexpensive and straightforward to produce patient-specific, tactile reference models from scans. These models give dentists a different viewpoint to better prepare for operations, which dramatically cuts down on the length and cost of the actual surgery carried out in the operating room. Patients may benefit from this in the form of increased satisfaction, decreased anxiety, and accelerated healing.

Restraints

Shortage of Skilled Workforce in Dental 3D Printing and High Initial Costs

Skilled workforce in the dental 3D printing area is in short supply. There is a very limited pool of trained and experienced staff in 3D printing processes, which is exacerbated by the rapid pace of evolution of the dental 3D printing market in terms of technology and materials. Moreover, there are few training programs for dental 3D printing, and there is a significant gap between academia and practical applications in the industry that is difficult to bridge. Shortage of workforce with a thorough understanding of the design process and production cycle has a negative impact on product quality. Hence, limited availability of experienced and skilled personnel in dental 3D printing could restrain the growth of global dental 3D printing market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Dental 3D Printing Market

Initially, COVID-19 pandemic affected dental 3D printing market, as dental clinics and dentist offices were closed due to lockdowns. Non-essential dental treatment procedures were postponed to increase the healthcare facilities’ focus on treating a rapidly growing number of COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 pandemic affected every industry sector across the globe. The pandemic is an unprecedented global public health threat, and when it was present, there were serious resource shortages for hospital beds, medical supplies, and personnel, which resulted in human misery. Manufacturers were unable to produce and sell medical supplies because of labor shortage induced by lockdowns. During the pandemic, global healthcare systems encountered numerous challenges, as COVID-19 patients had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which necessitated high-level respiratory support for them to survive. The need for 3D printing in the healthcare industry has dramatically increased during the pandemic due to the equipment shortage. The scarcity of equipment for the COVID-19 battle caused by the pandemic and its negative effects were the biggest challenges for dental 3D printing market worldwide.
