The global market for dental impression materials is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% between 2022 and 2031, according to a report by market analysis company, Allied Market Research. The 2021 value of the market was $878.10 million and is expected to reach a new value of $2.14 billion by 2031. 

The market’s growth is based on the increased awareness of the importance of oral health and the greater demand for cosmetic dental treatments. Additional market drivers are the increasing rates of endodontic disease, dental tourism, and rates of root canals. 

When viewing the individual market segments, the segment of alginate made up greater than 3/5 of the overall market in 2021. The alginate segment is anticipated to continue to lead in 2031. However, the “other” materials segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR at 13.0% between 2022 and 2031. The latter is expected as the use of mouth guards has increased.

Within the application segment, orthodontics was responsible for half of the 2021 total market revenue in 2021. The segment is also expected to result in a similar position in 2031. Between 2022 and 2031, the segment is anticipated to grow by a 9.8% CAGR based on the high rate of dental disease and endodontic disease.
