Some major findings of the dental chairs market report include:
• Increasing prevalence of dental disorders across the globe will positively impact the
dental chairs market
• Technological advancement in dental chairs along with an increasing need for
ergonomic chairs will spur product demand
• Major players operating in the dental chairs market include A-dec Inc., Takara

Increasing technological advancements associated with dental chairs such as
ergonomic designs, advanced workflow solutions, and advanced imaging systems
are increasing the product demand. In addition, infrastructural improvements in
dental setups coupled with rising demand for comfortable chairs are expected to
drive industry growth. Hence, increasing technological advancements will foster the
global dental chair industry across the forecast timeframe.
Rising prevalence of dental disorders such as cavities, periodontal disorders and
malocclusions will increase the demand for dental procedures, positively impacting
the global dental chair market. Dental caries and periodontal disease are the most
common dental disorders caused by an unhealthy diet and incorrect brushing habits.
Furthermore, as geriatric population rises across the globe, they show an increased
incidence of dental disorders leading to a growing number of dental patients. With
increasing dental patient population, the demand for dentists is projected to increase,
thereby positively impacting industry growth.
Product segment is classified into ceiling mounted, mobile independent and dental
chair mounted units. The mobile independent chair segment held a market value of
USD 144 million in 2019 and is expected to show substantial growth over the
forecast period. Mobile independent chairs features portable designs with wheels
and folding mechanisms. These chairs are typically used in mobile dental clinics to
serve patients in remote parts. Rising number of underserved patients in remote
parts of the world will boost product demand for mobile independent chairs.

Furthermore, geriatric patients cite commute as a barrier when it comes to seeking
dental treatment. Mobile independent chairs can eliminate the commute barrier to
serve these patients. Hence, these factors will boost demand for the product.
By technology, dental chairs are segmented into powered and non-powered.
Powered dental chairs held a 70% market share in 2019 and will show lucrative
growth over the forecast period. Powered chairs use electric power, and motors for
operation and lift technology. The electric motors enable precise control of the chair
recline and height, are easy to use, and comfortable. Thus, various advantages
associated with powered dental chair will boost segmental growth in the future.
Dental chairs by operation are segmented into electromechanical, hydraulic, electric,
manual, pneumatic, electropneumatic and mechanical. The pneumatic dental chair
segment had a market value of USD 191 million in 2019 and will show significant
growth in the future. These dental chairs use air to control the operation of dental
chair. Advantages of these chairs include reduced risk of wear and tear due to the
absence of moving parts along with reduced risk of fire due to elimination of
hydraulic fluids and motors. These factors will contribute to segment growth,
boosting the dental chair market.
By configuration, dental chairs are classified into portable and non-portable dental
chairs. Non-portable chairs are further segmented into general, pediatric, and
exodontic dental chairs. The non-portable dental chair segment held a significant
market share in 2019 and is poised to show a 4.5% CAGR over the forecast
timeframe. Non-portable chairs are used in dentist's offices and are a cornerstone to
any dental office. Increasing number of dental patients is turning a significant number
of people to dental practice as a means of lucrative livelihood, driving the number of
dentists. A growing number of dentists would thus increase the demand for nonportable
dental chairs, propelling the market growth.
Dental chair market by application is segmented into examination, surgery, and
orthodontic dental chairs. The surgery dental chair segment held a market share of
16.5% in 2019 and is forecasted to show substantial growth over the forecast years.
Surgery dental chairs differ from the examination and orthodontic chairs by offering
optimized workflows, and advanced imaging technology. An increasing number of
patients opting for dental surgery and a growing influence of dental aesthetics in
Europe will increase the number of dental surgeries across the globe. These factors
will boost product demand and foster the global dental chair market.
The dental chair market by specialty is segmented into general practice, oral and
maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry,
and dental pathology segments. The orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics
segment is predicted to show a 4.8% CAGR across the forecast period. A rising
number of malocclusions across the globe, coupled with a large percentage of
populations with untreated teeth alignment issues will increase orthodontic patients.
Furthermore, rising awareness of dental aesthetics will increase the need for

orthodontic procedures. These factors will fuel product demand and bolster the
industry expansion.
Dental chairs are used in dental clinics, hospitals, and ambulatory centers. The
ambulatory centers segment accounted for around USD 315 million in 2019 and will
show lucrative growth during the forecast period. Dental ambulatory surgical centers
(ASCs) are on a growth trajectory. Reduced cost of ambulatory surgery and greater
convenience for patients, increase a preference for ASCs among the patients. Dental
chairs are paramount to any dental practice. Hence, a rising number of dental ASCs
will increase the product demand, fostering market growth.
India dental chair market will expand at 12.3% CAGR over the analysis timeframe.
High growth can be attributed to an increasing number of dental patients in the
region, coupled with an increasing awareness of dental health. Furthermore, rise in
disposable income in the region would mean an increase in number of patients
opting for treatment. Low cost of treatment in the region makes the country a hotspot
for medical tourists, further increasing the number of dental patients. The above
mentioned factors coupled with growing demand from dentists will boost the regional
market growth.
A few notable companies operating in dental chairs market include A-dec Inc.,
Dentsply Sirona, Takara Belmont, Vic Dental, KaVo Kerr, J. Morita Corp., and Alliage
S/A. These companies are adopting various strategies such as innovative product
launches, geographical expansion, and partnerships to expand their customer base
and market share. For instance, in October 2019, Planmeca Oy launched a new
dental unit, the Compact i3 dental unit. Such initiatives will assist the company in
increasing their customer base.
