The dental polymerization lamps market is estimated to be valued at US$ 280.3 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Dental polymerization lamps are used in dental offices and clinics for curing dental filling materials such as dental composites. There are two main types of lamps- halogen and LED lamps. Halogen lamps are portable and inexpensive but emit significant heat during curing. LED lamps offer faster curing, require less time per curing, and emit minimal heat and blue light. They are gaining popularity due to their advantages over halogen lamps. Both lamps help dentists to polymerize and cure filling materials, thereby enabling efficient dental procedures.
Market Dynamics:
The dental polymerization lamps market is driven by the increasing prevalence of dental disorders worldwide and the growing demand for dental treatments. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases affect an estimated 3.9 billion people globally causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement and even death. Dental procedures such as composite fillings, crowns, and veneers involve the use of dental polymerization lamps for curing. Hence, rising number of such dental procedures is fueling market growth. Further, technological advancements in dental curing lights is also expected to boost the market over the forecast period. LED lamps provide faster curing and require less curing time compared to halogen lamps. Their advantages over halogen lamps such as minimal heat emission and longer lifespan are increasing their adoption among dentists. This is another key factor propelling the growth of this market.
Segment Analysis
The dental polymerization lamps market can be segmented based on product type, polymerization method, light source, sales channels, and end user. Based on product type, the LED polymerization lamps segment currently dominates the market as they have higher efficiency compared to conventional halogen lamps and are eco-friendly.
PEST Analysis
Political: Regulations related to dental equipment and product approval influence market growth. Economic: Rising disposable income levels in emerging nations drive the market growth. Social: Increasing awareness about oral health and aesthetics fuels the demand. Technological: Development of LED lamps with faster curing times and wireless connectivity support market growth.
