Drivers: The market is primarily driven by the aging population, rising incidence of dental disease, increased demand for cosmetic dentistry, and developments in dental product innovation. The growing need for dental care facilities and dental surgical procedures are other significant factors propelling the market's growth. The segment's rise has also been aided by product launches, technological advancements, and people's increasing preference for aesthetic appeal, which is driving them to choose prosthesis. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), which is seen to be a special imaging alternative for a prosthodontist's varied treatment demands, is another item whose demand is being driven up by the growing demand for prosthodontics.
Challenges: The Middle East and Africa dental equipment market has many challenges as a result of a combination of problems with the infrastructure, economy, and healthcare system. First, disparities in regional economic conditions make it difficult for dental infrastructure and equipment to be invested in consistently, which limits access to new technologies and stifles market growth. Additionally, an uneven distribution of dental services, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas, and a lack of infrastructure for the delivery of healthcare exacerbate disparities in access to dental care.
