Dental Composites Market Report 2025

The dental composites market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.97 billion in 2024 to $3.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for aesthetic dental restorations, increased utilization of composite resin materials, heightened awareness of oral health, a surge in dental tourism, and a growing prevalence of dental caries and tooth fractures.

The dental composites market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing geriatric population, rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures, ongoing research and development in nanocomposites, improved access to dental care in emerging markets, and the continued expansion of cosmetic dentistry. Major trends during this period include the development of bioactive and self-healing composites, growing utilization of CAD/CAM-compatible materials, a preference for BPA-free and non-toxic composites, integration of 3D printing technologies in restorative dentistry, and a heightened focus on sustainable and eco-friendly dental materials.

The increasing demand for dental procedures is expected to drive the growth of the dental composites market in the coming years. Dental procedures involve professional treatments aimed at diagnosing, preventing, or addressing issues related to teeth, gums, and overall oral health. The rise in dental procedures is attributed to greater oral health awareness, with more individuals prioritizing regular dental check-ups and treatments for both health and aesthetic reasons. Dental composites play a vital role in these procedures by restoring damaged or decayed teeth using durable, tooth-colored materials. Their strong adhesion to the tooth structure ensures lasting restorations with a natural appearance. For example, in August 2024, the National Health Service, a UK-based government agency, reported that dental treatment courses in England reached 34 million during 2023/24, a 4.3% increase compared to 2022/23. As a result, the rising demand for dental procedures is contributing to the expansion of the dental composites market.

Leading companies in the dental composites market are focusing on developing innovative products like flowable dental composites to improve handling and provide faster, more accurate application in restorative procedures. Flowable dental composites are low-viscosity, tooth-colored materials that enable smooth and precise placement in small or hard-to-reach cavities. Their flowable nature allows for excellent adaptation, making them ideal for use as liners, bases, and in minimally invasive restorations. For instance, in December 2023, Kerr Dental, a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, introduced SimpliShade Bulk Fill and SimpliShade Bulk Fill Flow, two new composite materials designed to simplify restorative dental procedures. These products feature a one-shade system compatible with all 16 VITA classical shades, reducing the need for extensive shade selection and inventory. SimpliShade Bulk Fill cures up to 5 mm in a single step without requiring a capping layer, while SimpliShade Bulk Fill Flow is a self-leveling composite that cures up to 4-5 mm before a capping layer is added, offering improved adaptability, strength, and reduced shrinkage stress.

In August 2024, Ultradent Products Inc., a US-based producer of advanced dental materials, acquired i-dental for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is intended to utilize i-dental’s established network and manufacturing capabilities to extend Ultradent’s global presence, especially in Europe. It also aims to strengthen the company’s ability to support dental professionals worldwide by advancing innovation and enhancing patient care in the field of dental materials. i-dental is a Lithuania-based manufacturer specializing in dental composites for everyday restorative procedures.

North America was the largest region in the dental composites market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in dental composites report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa. The countries covered in the dental composites market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

The dental composites market consists of sales of universal composite, radiopaque composite, self-adhesive composite, and packable composite. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Dental composites are tooth-colored, aesthetic materials made from a resin matrix combined with fine glass particles. These materials bond directly to the tooth surface and provide durable, long-lasting restorations. Renowned for their ability to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, dental composites are commonly used for both front and back tooth restorations.

The primary types of dental composites include nanocomposites, microhybrid composites, macrohybrid composites, flowable composites, and packable composites. Nanocomposites, which contain nanoscale particles, offer enhanced polishability, aesthetics, strength, and ease of handling, making them ideal for minimally invasive procedures. The resins used in these composites include bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), with curing methods classified as either chemically cured or light-cured. These composites are used in various dental applications such as restorative procedures, cavity fillings, fracture repairs, cosmetic enhancements, and more. Key end users include dental clinics, dental laboratories, hospitals, research centers, and academic institutions.

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
