Segments - Global Dental CAD/CAM Systems Market by Product (Milling Machines, Scanners, and Software), Application (Crowns & Bridges, Dentures, Inlays/Onlays, and Veneers), End-User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics, and Research Institutes), and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Share, Growth, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031.
The global dental CAD/CAM systems market size was USD 2.68 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 5.90 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGRof 9.2% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing number of cosmetic dental surgery and the rising incidence of dental disorders.
Dental disorders, including impacted teeth, tooth decay, cracked teeth, and chipped teeth, often need to be replaced with dental prostheses. This in turn contributes to the market expansion, as CAD/CAM aid in designing and manufacturing dental restorations, especially dental prostheses, including veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns, and crown lays.
As per the report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 14, 2023, around 3.5 billion people were affected bydental disorders worldwide in 2022.
Dental CAD (computer-aided design)/CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) refers to the software that performs complex restorations efficiently, faster, and accurately. It allows dental practitioners to create dental restorations, particularly dental prostheses like crowns, onlays & inlays, dentures, veneers, bridges, and implant-supported restorations from high-strength ceramic. CAD/CAM systems take virtual impressions through an optical camera to create a 3D image of restoration.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the global dental CAD/CAM systems market. Elective dental surgeries and routine dental checkupswere postponed during the pandemic due tostringent government measures, such as social distancing and emergency lockdowns. This led to a significant reduction in patient visits, which slowed down the revenue generation of the entire dental care sector and significantly affected the market.
According to the American Dental Association, an estimated 17.9%reduction was observed in the net income of general dental practitioners in 2020 compared to 2019.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely to contribute to market expansion, as it offers several benefits to CAD/CAM workflows, such as saving time and resources, increasing profitability, improving accuracy & reliability, increasing productivity, enhancing quality, and customer satisfaction. Integration of AI with CAD/CAM systemsallows dental practitioners to automate simulation tasks and design, such as evaluating and generating design alternatives, correcting and detecting errors, preventing and predicting failures, and improving performance and quality.
Increasing number of cosmetic dental proceduresacross the globe is anticipated to drive the market.CAD/CAM allows dentiststo customize dental restorations as per the patient’s need. For instance, as per the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, almost one-fourth of the entire population of the UK has undergone a cosmetic dentistry procedure.
Rising geriatric population is likely to contribute to market expansion. Edentulous is most common among elderly people. However, CAD/CAM ensures exceptional accuracy of dentures by creating 3D models, which results in restoration that seamlessly blend with the natural dentition.
High installation and maintenance cost associated with CAD/CAM system is expected to restrain the market. CAD/CAM systems are computer-aided systems, which require software upgradation to improve efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, the lack of reimbursement policiesassociated with dental procedures is anticipated to hinder the market, as dental procedures are not considered essential by government agencies and insurance companies.
Growing adoption of cloud computing services in CAD/CAM systems creates a lucrative opportunity in the market. Cloud-based CAD/CAM systems allow practitioners to collaborate and share implant design and simulation data from any device, without the need for additional hardware and software. This further reduces procedure time and improves quality.

Based on product, the dental CAD/CAM systems market is categorized into milling machines, scanners, and software. The scanners segment held a large market share in 2022 and is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to the rising adoption of intra-oral scanners. Intra-oral scanners use advanced 3D imaging technology used to capture direct optical impressions of the teeth, which enables dentists to have clearer teeth structure information. Moreover,increasing product innovation to enhance efficiency and accuracy in dentistry procedures is likely to fuel the segment. For instance, on April 20, 2022, Medit introduced the i700 wireless intraoral scanner for scanning the object at any angle without any constraints.
The software segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to its ability to increase efficiency and productivity by automating routine tasks. Moreover, rising investment in R&D by key players for the development of premium software with better features for CAD/CAM systems.
For instance, on October 5, 2022, 3Shape released a new version of its power-packed CAD software for dental laboratories to simplify lab-to-dentist communications.
On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into crowns & bridges, dentures, inlays/onlays, and veneers.The crowns & bridges segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the projected period, owing to the growing demand for customized dental prosthetics. CAD/CAM is used to design and creation of dental prostheses, including crowns & bridges, crown lays, and veneers.The segment growth is further attributed to the increasing prevalence of tooth decay and gum disorder.
The dentures segment is anticipated to grow at a robust pace in the coming years. CAD/CAM system is a new approach for designing and fabricating complete dentures. It provides quality dentures by reducing residual monomer and improves the acrylic resin base. The increasing incidence of edentulous among the geriatric population is likely to propel the segment.
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, an estimated 23 million geriatric people are completely edentulous in the US.
