An on-demand dental lab refers to a service that leverages digital workflows and advanced manufacturing technologies to produce dental restorations and devices efficiently and with high precision. This model streamlines production processes, minimizes turnaround time, and ensures consistent quality while allowing dental practices to scale their operations flexibly and improve overall productivity.
The primary types of on-demand dental lab services include crowns and bridges, dentures, implants, orthodontics, and others. Crowns and bridges involve the custom fabrication of dental restorations designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth accurately and efficiently. These products are made using materials such as metal-ceramics, all-ceramics, metal alloys, and other specialized compounds. Distribution occurs through online platforms, direct sales, and other channels. On-demand dental lab services are applied across hospitals, dental clinics, and other healthcare facilities, serving end-users such as dental laboratories, dental practitioners, and related professionals.
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 sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
The on-demand dental lab market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides on-demand dental lab market statistics, including on-demand dental lab industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a on-demand dental lab market share, detailed on-demand dental lab market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the on-demand dental lab industry. The on-demand dental lab market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The on-demand dental lab market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.94 billion in 2024 to $8.70 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, an increasing number of dental clinics, greater awareness of oral health, growing adoption of digital impression technologies, and a heightened patient preference for faster and more efficient treatment turnaround.
The on-demand dental lab market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising adoption of 3D printing technologies in dental laboratories, increasing integration of artificial intelligence in dental prosthetic design, growing outsourcing of dental lab services, a higher preference for customized dental solutions, and expanding investments in dental lab automation. Major trends during the forecast period include advancements in additive manufacturing, innovations in dental materials, the development of next-generation intraoral scanning devices, enhanced integration of digital workflows, and the emergence of cloud-based dental lab management systems.
The increasing demand for dental procedures is expected to drive the growth of the on-demand dental lab market in the coming years. Dental procedures encompass a wide range of oral health services, including preventive care, restorative treatments, and the creation of dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. The rise in demand for these procedures is largely attributed to the aging population, as older individuals often require restorative and prosthetic treatments to address age-related oral health issues and tooth loss. The growing number of dental procedures increases the need for on-demand dental labs, which play a crucial role in fabricating custom dental restorations and devices efficiently. For example, in August 2025, according to the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based government department, approximately 35 million dental treatment courses were conducted in England during 2024-2025, representing a 4% rise from 2023-2024. Therefore, the growing demand for dental procedures is contributing to the expansion of the on-demand dental lab market.
Leading companies in the on-demand dental lab market are increasingly investing in advanced digital solutions, particularly high-speed 3D printing technologies, to meet the rising need for precise and customized restorations. Dental 3D printing enables the additive manufacturing of dental prosthetics and orthodontic devices from digital models, enhancing precision, speed, and personalization while reducing production time. For instance, in July 2024, Stratasys Ltd., a US-based provider of industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, launched the DentaJet XL, a high-speed dental 3D printer designed for producing high-quality crowns, bridges, implants, clear aligners, and surgical guides. The system supports larger resin cartridges, features a spacious print tray, enables simultaneous dual-material printing, and reduces labor costs by up to 90% and cost per part by up to 67%. These capabilities make it ideal for high-volume production environments, helping dental labs improve productivity and meet growing global demand efficiently.
In May 2025, Catalis Dental Lab Partners, a US-based full-service manufacturer and distributor of custom dental products, acquired Revolution Dental Lab for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Catalis's national presence and enhances its ability to deliver on-demand, digitally integrated restorative solutions. The move enables the company to offer faster, more accurate, and patient-specific dental restorations to private practices and dental service organizations. Revolution Dental Lab, also based in the US, specializes in producing crowns, dentures, and implant restorations, making it a strategic addition to Catalis's expanding network of digital dental lab services.
