세계의 투명교정 시장 예측(-2030년) : 제품 유형, 재료 유형, 치과의 유형, 연령, 기간, 최종사용자, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Clear Aligners Market is accounted for $2.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.7% during the forecast period. Clear aligners are transparent, removable orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. It is constructed from silky, BPA-free plastic and provides a covert substitute for conventional braces. Clear aligners are made specifically for each patient, and by making small, gradual adjustments, they help move teeth into the right alignment. And, clear aligners are a popular orthodontic solution for people who want a straighter smile without the hassle and visibility of traditional braces because of their unobtrusive appearance and ease of use.

According to an article Published in IJERPH in May 2022, when a systematic literature review was conducted by the scientists, the range of prevalence of angle class I, class II, and class III malocclusion was very large, with a mean prevalence of 51.9%, 23.8%, and 6.5%, respectively.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Orthodontic advancements

The new advancements contribute to the development of more sophisticated and customizable aligners, allowing orthodontists to address a broader range of dental misalignments. Technological innovations such as 3D printing and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have revolutionized the production of clear aligners, enabling precise and patient-specific treatment plans. Orthodontic advancements not only improve the functionality of clear aligners but also enhance patient comfort and treatment efficiency and can offer more tailored solutions, expanding the applicability of clear aligners to a wider demographic, which is driving this market size.

Restraint:

Maintenance challenges

The aligners may develop stains, smells, or even bacterial accumulation if these maintenance procedures are not followed, which could reduce their overall effectiveness and aesthetic appeal. Patients must also be cautious about misplacing or damaging their aligners, as replacements can be costly and may disrupt the treatment schedule. Furthermore, because clear aligners are transparent, any lack of maintenance may be underlined, which could affect the aligners' appearance and lower the patient's level of satisfaction with the course of treatment, which is hampering this market expansion.

Opportunity:

Patient awareness

Increased awareness among individuals about orthodontic options, including the benefits of clear aligners, has led to a growing demand for these aesthetic and technologically advanced solutions. Patients are increasingly conscious of their smiles and actively inquire about clear aligners during dental consultations, which have also contributed to disseminating information and success stories by informing the public about the advantages of choosing clear aligners over traditional braces.

Threat:

Compatibility issues

The problems result from the intricate nature of dental imbalances and variances in the dental structures of different patients. For people with severe tooth crowding, rotations, or other complicated dental problems, clear aligners might not be the best option. Furthermore, patient compliance may give rise to compatibility problems which may result in less-than-ideal results or treatment failure. As they only apply to a certain percentage of patients, these compatibility problems have had an impact on the market for clear aligners, possibly lowering the total demand for these treatments, which hinders this market size.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had several negative impacts on the clear aligners market. Lockdowns and restrictions imposed to curb the virus's spread disrupted routine dental care, leading to the postponement or cancellation of non-essential orthodontic treatments, including clear aligner procedures. Furthermore, economic uncertainties and disruptions in the global supply chain and manufacturing processes impacted the production and distribution of clear aligners. Delays in material sourcing, production, and shipping affected the timely availability of these orthodontic devices, causing challenges for both providers and patients and thereby hindering this market expansion.

The hard type segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hard type segment is estimated to hold the largest share, due to its more rigid material composition, which provides additional strength and durability during the orthodontic treatment process. The increased rigidity of hard-type aligners allows for better control over tooth movement, making them suitable for cases that demand precise adjustments. These are constructed using advanced materials that offer enhanced resistance to wear and tear, which contributes to improved longevity by reducing the risk of breakage or deformation during the treatment period.

The plastic polyethylene terephthalate glycol segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The plastic polyethylene terephthalate glycol segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to its transparency, strength, and versatility. These are durable and resistant to deformation, providing the necessary structural integrity for effective tooth movement over the course of the treatment. Moreover, they can be customized for each individual, ensuring a comfortable fit and facilitating the gradual repositioning of teeth. The technological advancements and material innovations are driving this segment's expansion.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to factors such as increasing disposable incomes, rising awareness of orthodontic treatments, and a growing emphasis on aesthetic dental solutions. Some of the major key players, such as 3M Unitek, Align Technology, Inc., and Candid Co., contribute to technological advancements by offering innovative clear aligner solutions. This region surged for sustained growth, reflecting a convergence of economic development, evolving consumer preferences, and advancements in orthodontic technologies, thereby boosting this region's growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period. This region experiences a high demand for orthodontic treatments, with clear aligners gaining popularity due to their cosmetic appeal and patient-friendly features. Countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy are key contributors to the adoption of clear aligner therapies. Furthermore, the region is being driven by factors like an aging population, increasing awareness of dental aesthetics, and the growing acceptance of technologically advanced orthodontic solutions, which are propelling this region's expansion.
