Dental Milling Machines Global Market Report 2024

The dental milling machines market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.12 billion in 2023 to $2.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the growth in implant dentistry, progress in dental materials, the evolution of intraoral scanning, and the increasing demand for same-day restorations.

The dental milling machines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.28 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to the increasing demand for personalized restorations, the expansion of dental tourism, a surge in cosmetic dentistry procedures, the aging population, and the prevalence of dental implants, coupled with the integration of intraoral scanning. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass a focus on user-friendly interfaces, a shift towards eco-friendly solutions, a rising demand for compact and portable machines, an emphasis on workflow efficiency, and the growth of dental labs and clinics.

The anticipated growth in the dental milling machine market is expected to be fueled by the rising prevalence of dental problems. Dental problems encompass various ailments affecting oral health, such as cavities, tooth erosion, gum infections, and disorders, which can cause discomfort and difficulty in eating. Dental milling machines play a crucial role in the precise fabrication of dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, veneers, and implant components. For example, as of November 2022, the World Health Organization estimated that globally, approximately 2 billion people are affected by dental caries in permanent teeth, and around 514 million children are dealing with caries in primary teeth. Additionally, a survey by the ADA Health Policy Institute in March 2021 reported an increase in teeth clenching, grinding, chipped teeth, cracked teeth, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction symptoms, including headaches and jaw pain, as reported by 71%, 63%, and 62% of dentists, respectively. Consequently, the rising prevalence of dental problems is a driving factor for the growth of the dental milling machine market.

The growth of dental tourism is expected to contribute to the expansion of the dental milling machine market. Dental tourism involves individuals traveling to another country or region to seek dental care and services. Dental milling machines play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency, precision, and quality in dental procedures, making them integral to the dental tourism experience. For instance, according to Strategic Dentistry DBA DOCS Education, a US-based company providing dental consulting services, in 2021, 390,000 Americans traveled abroad for dental procedures, compared to 170,000 in 2020. This increase in dental tourism is a significant driver for the growth of the dental milling machine market.

The dental milling machine market is witnessing a prominent trend in the adoption of technological advancements, with major companies in the sector actively incorporating innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. An illustration of this trend is evident in the actions of Amann Girrbach AG, a US-based manufacturer of laboratory units for dental technicians and dental labs, which introduced Ceramill Motion 3 in February 2022. This hybrid device represents a breakthrough in denture fabrication by enhancing convenience and digitality. Positioned as the world's most intelligent hybrid machine, Ceramill Motion 3 integrates an end-to-end digital workflow with exceptional production quality, a diverse range of materials, and indications. The machine offers remote access, allowing users to monitor manufacturing processes, access customer support, and process orders swiftly and securely. The inclusion of integrated analysis functions enables ongoing analysis and optimization of laboratory procedures.

Major players in the dental milling machine market are strategically focusing on the development of innovative solutions, such as dry milling machines designed for discs. Dry milling machines for discs are utilized in the dental field for fabricating dental prosthetics and restorations. In February 2023, vhf camfacture AG, a Germany-based CNC milling machine manufacturing company, announced the launch of the E5 Dry Milling Machine. Tailored as a 5-axis milling machine for discs, it ensures the highest precision for complex indications. Operating without the need for compressed air, this milling machine is employed in practice labs and laboratories.

In August 2022, Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG), a Germany-based public investment firm, acquired a one-fifth stake in VHF camfacture AG for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move positions DBAG to strengthen business operations and meet growth objectives structurally. The acquisition is expected to facilitate international expansion and prepare for capital market involvement. VHF camfacture AG is a German company specializing in the manufacture of milling and grinding machines, tools, and software for dental laboratories.
