Global dental laboratories market projected to reach $13.09b by 2030

Asia Pacific dental labs expected highest CAGR growth.

The global dental laboratories market is projected to grow from $9.20b in 2025 to $13.09b by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.

According to a new analysis by MarketsandMarkets, market growth is primarily driven by the aging population, rising prevalence of edentulism, and increased adoption of advanced digital dentistry solutions.

Despite advances in technology, high cost of dental laboratory equipment and digital systems and limited affordability of premium dental restorations are some of the constraints in market expansion, especially in developing and low-income regions.

The adoption of CAD/CAM design platforms, AI-driven restorative planning, and cloud-based collaboration tools modernises the workflow, whilst the demand for real-time case tracking, automated design validation, and seamless integration between clinics and labs further increases the use of software.

Subscription-based modules and open-architecture systems allow advanced digital tools to be more accessible, enabling laboratories to improve accuracy, reduce turnaround times, and scale their operations more efficiently.

The dental service organizations (DSOs) segment is experiencing the highest CAGR due to the rapid consolidation of dental practices, strong purchasing power, and a systematic approach to outsourcing laboratory work on a large scale, the analysis said.

DSOs are adopting digital workflows, enhancing their dependence on advanced laboratory services. Their ability to standardize protocols, negotiate volume-based contracts, and integrate preferred laboratory partners leads to higher and more consistent case volumes

Amongst regions, MarketsandMarkets said the Asia Pacific market is expected to experience the highest CAGR due to rapidly improving healthcare infrastructure, increased dental spending, and a growing patient population with untreated dental conditions.

Rising awareness of cosmetic dentistry and significant growth in medical and dental tourism, especially in India, Thailand, and Malaysia, further support market growth.

Swift adoption of digital systems is also aiding in the expansion of the dental market. The availability of cost-effective laboratory services and dental clinics and training institutions are pushing the growth in the APAC region.
