A dental bonding agent is a type of material used in dentistry to facilitate the attachment or bonding of dental restorative materials. It serves as an adhesive for joining two materials in various dental procedures, including root canals.
The primary product types within dental bonding agents include self-etch and total-etch. Self-etch adhesives incorporate formulations containing acidic monomers that perform the dual function of etching and priming the tooth surface. These bonding agents utilize various technologies, such as light-cured and dual-cured. End-users of these products include hospitals, dental clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
Tariffs are influencing the dental bonding agent market by increasing costs of imported chemical compounds, photoinitiators, specialty resins, and curing system components. Dental material suppliers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported formulation inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces export pricing challenges. These tariffs are increasing material costs and affecting profit margins. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic formulation capabilities, regional sourcing strategies, and development of cost-optimized bonding agents.
The dental bonding agent market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dental bonding agent market statistics, including dental bonding agent industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dental bonding agent market share, detailed dental bonding agent market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dental bonding agent industry. This dental bonding agent 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 bonding agent market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.78 billion in 2025 to $20.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing volume of restorative dental procedures, growth in endodontic and cosmetic dentistry, advancements in adhesive chemistry, expansion of dental clinic networks, improved access to dental treatments.
The dental bonding agent market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.74 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for simplified bonding protocols, rising focus on esthetic restorations, expansion of advanced curing technologies, growing adoption of minimally invasive dentistry, increasing investment in high-performance dental materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of universal bonding agents, rising demand for faster-curing dental adhesives, growing use of multi-step bonding systems, expansion of moisture-resistant bonding technologies, enhanced focus on improved adhesion durability.
The rising prevalence of dental disorders is expected to drive the growth of the dental bonding agent market in the coming years. Dental disorders, also known as oral disorders or oral diseases, encompass a range of conditions that affect the teeth, gums, mouth, and related structures. The increasing occurrence of dental disorders is largely attributed to high sugar consumption, as modern diets rich in sugary foods and beverages contribute to tooth decay and gum disease across all age groups. Dental bonding agents are used in patients with dental disorders, such as cavities, to fill defects and restore fractured teeth. For example, in April 2025, according to the Mint Dental Centre, a UK-based intergovernmental organization, the proportion of people in the UK living with gum disease is projected to increase from 42% of the population currently to 54% by 2050. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of dental disorders is contributing to the growth of the dental bonding agent market.
Major companies operating in the dental bonding agent market are increasingly focusing on the introduction of next-generation dental bonding agents to strengthen their competitive position. Next-generation dental bonding agents are dental adhesives used to attach restorative materials to tooth structures and are engineered to enhance bonding performance while simplifying clinical procedures. For example, in June 2024, Kerr Dental, a US-based dental materials company, introduced OptiBond Universal 360, a single-bottle universal bonding agent that is compatible with self-etch, selective-etch, and total-etch techniques. OptiBond Universal 360 delivers strong bond strength across a wide range of substrates, including zirconia, gold, titanium, and lithium disilicate, while helping to minimize postoperative sensitivity. The product streamlines the bonding workflow, allowing clinicians to perform restorations more efficiently and reliably.
In August 2024, Benco Dental, a U.S.-based distributor of dental products and equipment, acquired M&S Dental Supply and A-Dent Dental Equipment for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to expand Benco Dental's product and service offerings while reinforcing its position in the dental supply market. Both M&S Dental Supply and A-Dent Dental Equipment are U.S.-based companies specializing in dental supplies.
