Clear Aligners Market Is Expected To Expand At A CAGR Of 29.5% From 2022 To 2030

Clear Aligners Industry Overview

The global clear aligners market size is expected to reach USD 32.3 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 29.5% from 2022 to 2030. Clear aligners are invisible and discreet braces developed from thermoformed materials like copolyester or polycarbonate plastic and CAD 3D printing technology, acting as an alternative to traditional braces. According to the FDA, the clear aligner system helps in positioning the teeth through continuous gentle force and is developed to treat mild to moderate malocclusion. According to the WHO, malocclusion is the third most prevalent dental disease after dental caries and periodontal disease globally. Malocclusion of the teeth causes the problem of misalignment, which can later lead to severe oral health complications like hard and soft tissue trauma. This condition is hereditary and can be passed from one generation to another.

Technological advancements and the growing demand for customized clear aligners are significant factors responsible for the market growth. Companies like Align Technology and DynaFlex are constantly bringing in newer computer-aided technology in the market. For instance, the launch of iTero, which is a digital impression system, by Align Technology is assisting in developing accurate, effective, and customized clear aligners designed in accordance with the wearer’s comfort to treat mild to moderate misalignment conditions. According to an article published in Scielo.com in November 2018, the global prevalence of Class I malocclusions is 74.7% and Class II malocclusions is 19.56% and the rising prevalence of these conditions is assisting in escalating the demand for clear aligners systems.

Clear Aligners Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global clear aligners market on the basis of age, end-use, and region:

Based on the Age Insights, the market is segmented into Adults, and Teens.

• The adults segment held the largest revenue share of over 60.0% in 2021. Dental conditions like malocclusion are widely prevalent amongst the population and apart from affecting the quality of life, it can also lead to problems such as impaired dentofacial aesthetics, disturbances of oral function, such as mastication, swallowing, and speech, and greater susceptibility to trauma and periodontal disease.
• The teens segment is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period. The FDA-approved, Invisalign clear aligners developed by Align Technology, have been used in the treatment of 5 million people as of 2018 and worldwide Invisalign shipments to teenagers were about 87.1 thousand cases as of 2018.

Based on the End-use Insights, the market is segmented into Hospitals, Standalone Practices, Group Practices, and Others.

• The standalone practices segment held the largest revenue share of over 50.0% in 2021 and is also expected to register a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The end-use segment is divided into hospitals, standalone practices, group practices, and others. The standalone practices segment dominated the market in 2021 as standalone practitioners are readily adopting clear aligner systems and are equipped with advanced digital technologies.
• According to Today’s RDH, a digital media company for Registered Dental Professionals, there are many benefits of choosing private/standalone dental services and some of the benefits include a wider range of dental treatments, shorter wait times, specialist and quality service, and high adoption of the latest equipment and quality materials for both diagnostics and treatment.
• Group practices are reciprocating the highest CAGR over the forecast period as it helps in minimizing costs and maximizing their earning potential while adopting newer advanced technology. The Dentistry News reported that almost half (46%) of NHS dentists are planning to move to private dentistry. 2019 Dentistry Confidence Monitor survey of more than 400 dentists working in the NHS and private settings reported that 84% of private dentists reported they were happy they can provide the level of care they want, compared to 17% of NHS dentists.
