SmarTech Publishing recently announced its latest report on the 3D printing dental market, including an expected increase in market size to $9.5bn by 2027. SmarTech’s findings explain that the dental industry has grown by over 35% year-on-year in 2016 and 2017. These promising figures show the opportunity in the dental 3D printing sector due to the improvement of additive manufacturing. In addition, the report forecasts improvements to 3D printers, materials, and market shares related to the industry.
3D Printed Dental: Huge Growth
The current annual growths of 35% are due to increasing adoption of 3D technologies in the dental market. More and more companies are getting involved in the dental 3D printing market. These include prostheticians, dentists and laboratories who want to use 3D printing to manufacture their solutions. Moreover, the report states that “today, in a laboratory environment, it is common to have both subtractive and additive solutions that coexist in a digital workflow strategy. This portrays the increased adoption of 3D printing.
