The dental 3D printing medical devices market is principally driven by factors such as the increasing incidence of dental caries and other dental diseases, rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, the growing adoption of dental 3D printers in dental hospitals & clinics, and the increasing growth in the geriatric population.
In an optimistic scenario, the need for smoother clinical workflows, faster turnaround times, and fewer dental appointments could boost the market growth. Dentists may be more likely to invest in technologies like CAD/CAM and dental 3D printing to reduce the time taken to deliver dental appliances and treatment, and patients may be more likely to opt for these solutions for the same reason.
The dental 3D printing market was initially negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as most dental offices, clinics, and laboratories were closed in many parts of the world due to lockdowns and quarantine restrictions in early 2020. This resulted in all non-essential dental procedures being deferred; the volume of outpatient cases reduced considerably in this period.

According to the American College of Prosthodontists, more than 36 million Americans are completely edentulous, and around 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. The number of partially edentulous patients is expected to increase to more than 200 million Americans in the next 15 years.
With increasing disposable incomes, the willingness to undergo expensive cosmetic procedures has also risen, specifically among the aging population. Globally, there is a growing demand for dental restoration solutions and aesthetic treatments such as whitening and polishing.
By 2060, according to the US Census, the number of US adults aged 65 years or older is expected to reach 98 million, accounting for around 24% of the overall population. Oral health problems in adults comprise untreated tooth decay, gum diseases, tooth loss, oral cancer, and chronic cancer.
