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.
Tariffs are impacting the dental resin market by increasing the cost of imported raw materials such as dimethacrylates, organically modified ceramics, and pre-polymerized blocks. Segments like CAD/CAM resins and nanohybrid composite resins are most affected, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions such as China and India. This has led to higher production costs and slowed adoption in some markets. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local resin manufacturing, innovation in material alternatives, and investment in domestic production capabilities.
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, detailed 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 $2.65 billion in 2025 to $2.83 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on conventional dental materials, limited resin formulations, growth of dental clinics in urban regions, increasing dental awareness among patients, manual layering techniques in restorative dentistry.
The dental resin market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of advanced bulk-fill and CAD/CAM resins, rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, adoption of automated and digital dentistry tools, increasing research in bio-compatible dental materials, expansion of dental laboratories and academic institutions. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of nanohybrid and microhybrid composite resins, increasing demand for light-cured and dual-cure resin techniques, expansion of restorative dentistry and crown & bridge procedures, growing use of dental resins in orthodontics and preventive care, focus on research and development of bio-compatible and durable resins.
The growing incidence of dental disorders is anticipated to drive the expansion of the dental resin market in the coming years. Dental disorders encompass a range of conditions that impact the teeth, gums, jaw, and other oral structures. The increase in dental disorders is largely attributed to poor dietary practices, as high sugar intake and acidic foods contribute to enamel erosion and tooth decay. Dental resin addresses these dental issues by offering durable, aesthetically pleasing, and minimally invasive solutions for restoring tooth structure, treating cavities, and repairing fractures, thereby enhancing oral function and patient comfort. For example, in March 2025, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that oral diseases are estimated to affect around 3.7 billion people globally, with untreated dental caries in permanent teeth being the most widespread health condition. Consequently, the rising prevalence of dental disorders is fueling the growth of the dental resin market.
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.
