Study Overview

The dental market includes all medical professionals who provide dental services. This includes general dentists, specialists in specific areas such as orthodontics, oral surgery, or periodontics, as well as dental clinics and dental practices. These services can range from general dental care to complex dental procedures. The global market is being driven by an aging world population, as the worldwide percentage of people over 60 is expected to double between 2000 and 2050, according to the WHO, and by greater attention to personal hygiene [WHO]. The growth is also due to emerging and developing countries having an increasing proportion of their populations with access to dental care, such as the Chinese market, which is the fastest growing in the world. The German market for dentists is one of the largest and most developed markets in the world. Germany has an extensive dental infrastructure with a large number of dentists and dental practices. The demand for dental services is influenced by the high importance of dental health in German society, as well as the financial support provided by health insurance companies. Currently, there are a total of 97,372 dentists working in Germany, with 72,592 of them being active. 50,022 dentists have their practice and 22,570 work in practices, medical care centers, or other health care facilities [German Dental Association]. Contrary to the global market dynamism, the German market for dental practices is declining. Dental practice revenue is expected to decline by 3% to xx billion euros in 2023. This represents an average annual recession of 1.9% since 2018 [IBIS World]. The most common dental treatments in Germany are general examinations, consultations, infiltration anesthesia, and scaling [KZBV].  The German dental market is subject to various trends and developments. Increasing specialization and diversification of dental services can be witnessed as dentists specialize in certain areas such as implantology, aesthetic dentistry, or orthodontics. In addition, digitalization is playing an increasingly important role in dentistry, whether in diagnostics, treatment planning, or the fabrication of dental prostheses. Another trend is the increased emphasis on prevention and holistic oral health. The following market study deals with current trends in the industry as well as with the market structure and the competitive situation of the market.
