Global Dental Handpieces Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rising incidence of dental diseases and growing dental tourism

Oral disorders afflict an estimated 3.5 billion people globally, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017, with caries of permanent teeth being the most frequent condition. Furthermore, it is projected that 2.3 billion people worldwide suffer from permanent tooth decay, with over 530 million children suffering from primary tooth decay. Oral diseases are highly prevalent globally, posing a very serious public health challenge. Due to demographic changes, including population growth and aging, the cumulative burden of oral conditions increases dramatically. In addition to this, sugar, alcohol, and tobacco consumption underlying social and commercial determinants are risk factors associated with oral diseases. Moreover, dental tourism, an increasing trend facilitated by the ease of travel, information, and trade in the wake of globalization, has developed into a major revenue stream in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region and may contribute to increased demand for dental headpieces.

Restraints: Lack of reimbursement policies and lack of awareness regarding oral health problems

As they lack the health care knowledge and financial resources to seek treatment, most of those impacted by the oral disease are from lower-income groups. Even in developed countries such as the US Medicares, the national health insurance program for older adults and younger beneficiaries with disabilities does not cover routine dental care. The majority of people have no dental coverage at all. Limited or no dental insurance coverage can result in relatively high out-of-pocket costs for some and foregone oral health care for others. Also, the policies do not cover routine preventive dental services such as exams, cleanings, x-rays, or minor and major vital services such as fillings, crowns, or dentures.
