Dental resin is a man-made material utilized in dentistry, primarily consisting of polymer-based substances like acrylics or composites. It is formulated to replicate the appearance and strength of natural teeth while ensuring strong adherence to dental surfaces. This resin solidifies through either chemical reactions or light exposure, delivering a durable and stable option for restorative dental treatments.
The primary dental resin products include composite resins, compomers, glass ionomer resins, resin-modified glass ionomers, and temporary crown and bridge resins. Composite resins are tooth-colored materials used for restorations, created by blending a resin matrix with inorganic fillers such as silica. These materials often include dimethacrylates and organically modified ceramics. Techniques employed encompass bulk-fill resins, layered resins, CAD/CAM resins, light-cured resins, and dual-cure resins. These are applied in various dental procedures such as restorations, crown and bridge fabrication, orthodontic work, preventive treatments, and direct bonding, and are utilized by a range of end users including dental clinics, dental laboratories, hospitals, research centers, and academic institutions.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The dental resin market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dental resin market statistics, including dental resin industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dental resin market share, dental resin market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dental resin industry. This dental resin market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The dental resin market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.49 billion in 2024 to $2.65 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to the expanding geriatric population, the surge in dental tourism across emerging markets, heightened awareness of oral health, greater adoption of digital dentistry, and the increasing number of dental clinics and practitioners.
The dental resin market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.40 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures, rising investments in dental research, growing demand for biocompatible and long-lasting dental materials, the expansion of dental service networks, and increased healthcare spending. Key trends expected during the forecast period include progress in 3D printing technologies, enhanced formulations aimed at improved aesthetics and strength, innovations in nanotechnology-based dental resins, the incorporation of digital workflows in dental practices, and developments in hybrid and flowable resin composites.
The growing prevalence of dental disorders is expected to drive the expansion of the dental resin market in the coming years. Dental disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect the teeth, gums, jaw, and other oral structures. This rise in dental issues is largely attributed to unhealthy dietary habits, particularly the high intake of sugar and acidic foods, which lead to tooth decay and enamel erosion. Dental resin plays a crucial role in addressing these disorders by offering durable, aesthetically pleasing, and minimally invasive solutions to restore tooth structure, treat cavities, and repair fractures, thereby enhancing oral functionality and patient comfort. For example, in February 2024, a report published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK government department, revealed that hospital episodes for decay-related tooth extractions among individuals aged 0 to 19 increased by 17% compared to the 2021-2022 financial year. As a result, the rising incidence of dental disorders is fueling demand for dental resins.
Leading companies in the dental resins market are embracing advanced technologies like multi-color monolithic 3D printing to improve the manufacturing of dentures with higher precision and visual appeal. This form of additive manufacturing enables the production of full-color, single-unit dental appliances that replicate both teeth and gums in one print, thereby simplifying processes and reducing labor and assembly requirements. For instance, in February 2023, Stratasys Ltd., a U.S.-based 3D printing company, introduced TrueDent resin for use with its J5 DentaJet 3D printer. This patent-pending, FDA-cleared Class II dental resin is specifically designed for creating full-color, permanent dentures as a single, integrated appliance. It replicates the natural appearance and translucency of teeth and gums and allows dental laboratories to increase production efficiency by minimizing manual tasks, reducing patient chair time, and improving the accuracy of scan-to-fit results.
In March 2025, Mikrona Group AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of orthodontic equipment and products, acquired Dental Axess AG for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Mikrona Group AG aims to broaden its market footprint, enhance its service capabilities, and accelerate its goal of becoming a leading force in the European dental technology sector. Dental Axess AG, also based in Switzerland, specializes in digital dentistry solutions, including dental resins.
