Analysts’ Viewpoint
The global dental apex locator market is driven by the rise in number of dental practitioners & dental practices, increase in awareness about dental hygiene, and surge in dental tourism. Increase in geriatric population, growth in consumption of tobacco & related products, rise in dental expenditure, and surge in disposable income are augmenting the demand for these devices. Advancement in apex locator in endodontics has led to highly precise working length calculation of the root canal. Manufacturers are developing highly accurate devices for the measurement of root canal length, which plays a key role in painless endodontic procedures.
Apex locator is an electronic device used in endodontic practice to detect the position of apical constriction and measure the apical canal’s working length during endodontic procedures. The apex of the root and oral tissues have a specific resistance to electric current, which is determined through electronic apex locator using a pair of electrodes. When an electrode comes in contact with the tip of apex, the response of electric signal is recorded by digital reader or digital display. Apex locators in endodontics are classified based on resistance, impedance, and frequency into 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation. A modern electronic apex locator measures the length of apex with more than 90% accuracy. Technological advancements in dental electronic apex locator, also known as endodontic apex locators, include touchscreen display and wireless hand pieces with long lasting batteries.
Dental issues continue to affect a large number of people despite advancements in oral health. Dental caries is a major oral health issue observed in most of the developed economies; it affects 60% to 90% of schoolchildren and majority of adults. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, around 3.5 billion people are affected with oral diseases and dental caries of permanent teeth. Around 2 billion people suffer from dental caries of permanent teeth, while nearly 520 million kids suffer from caries of primary teeth.
Rise in urbanization and lifestyle changes in undeveloped and developing countries is a key factor driving the prevalence of dental caries. Surge in geriatric population and rise in consumption of high sugar food and tobacco & related products are increasing the incidence of dental caries. According to the WHO, the global geriatric population stood at around 524 million in 2010 and is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, around 40 million people in the country belonged to the elderly category in 2011. Furthermore, around 89 million people will be 65 years or above by 2050.
Dental tourism is growing in developing countries such as Mexico, Hungary, India, and China due to availability of cost-effective dental services. According to Patients beyond Borders, a popular information portal in the U.S., developing countries offer dental services at a cost 50% to 80% lower than that in the U.S. According to World Health Organization (WHO), 68% of the countries have only one dentist per 2,000 people, while 37% of the countries have only one dentist per 10,000 people. Increase in number of dentists, rise in dental tourism, and availability of cost-effective dental services in developing countries are projected to propel the global endodontic apex locators market in the next few years.
Endodontics presents significant job opportunities for skilled professionals with adequate qualifications. Dentists are opening up multiple dental clinics at different locations to attract potential patients. This has fueled the sales of dental equipment, including electronic dental apex locators. According to the Global Economy study on dentists, Estonia had the largest number of dentists (0.98 dentists per 1,000 people) in 2015. This ratio increased to 1.11 in 2020.
In terms of product type, the global dental apex locator market has been bifurcated into equipment and accessories. The equipment segment has been split into touchscreen and without touchscreen. Rise in adoption of technologically advanced touchscreen endodontic apex locator is expected to augment the sub-segment during the forecast period. Touchscreen endodontic apex locators are easy to operate and more precise.
Based on end-user, the global dental apex locator industry has been divided into hospitals, dental clinics, and academic & research institutes. The dental clinics segment is likely to dominate the global market during forecast period. Dental clinics are easily accessible and offer root canal procedures at low cost. As per global trends, patients prefer dental clinics due to availability of most of the endodontic procedures at low cost.
Europe is anticipated to account for the largest share of the global market during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the increase in number of dentists in the region. According to The Global Economy, Lithuania, Estonia, and Norway were the top three countries with the highest number of dentists per 1,000 people in 2020.
North America accounted more than 30% of the demand for these devices in 2021. Early adoption of advanced technologies, rise in healthcare expenditure, well-established healthcare infrastructure, and high disposable income can be ascribed to the region's second largest share.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period. Increase in patient awareness about dental hygiene, improvement in health care system, developing infrastructure, and government initiatives are the key factors fueling the market in the region during the forecast period.
The industry is fragmented, with the presence of a large number of leading players. Key players operating in this field are Dentsply Sirona, Changzhou Sifary Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Fude Technology Group Limited, COLTENE Group, Zhengzhou Senmy Dental Equipment Co., Ltd., IONYX, Kerr Corporation, Safco Dental Supply LLC, and J. MORITA CORP. These players are adopting strategies such as product development, new product launches, acquisitions, agreements, and mergers to expand global presence.
