Report ID: RC16451 | Report Format: PDF + Excel | Starting Price: 2520/- USD | Last Updated: June 18th, 2023

The global clear aligners market size was estimated at around USD 2.5 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2021 to 2027. The increasing prevalence of malocclusions around the world is a primary factor driving the market growth. As per the information share by World Health Organization (WHO), the malocclusion is third most prevalent dental disease in the world. Furthermore, technological advancement, rising awareness regarding oral care, and the increasing demand for invisible braces are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, the changing lifestyle and the increasing disposable income are projected to propel the market at a significant growth rate.

Market Drivers:

Aesthetic appeal and discreet treatment: Clear aligners offer a more aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. These transparent, removable aligners are less noticeable and provide a discreet orthodontic treatment option. Many individuals, particularly adults and teenagers, prefer clear aligners over metal braces due to their ability to straighten teeth without significantly altering their appearance.

Increasing prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic issues: Malocclusion, or improper alignment of teeth, is a common dental problem that affects a significant portion of the population. The growing prevalence of malocclusion, along with an increasing awareness of the importance of proper dental alignment, has driven the demand for orthodontic treatments like clear aligners.

Technological advancements in clear aligner systems: Continuous advancements in technology have led to the development of more advanced clear aligner systems. These systems utilize computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create customized aligners for each patient. Technological innovations have improved the precision, effectiveness, and efficiency of clear aligner treatments, enhancing treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Convenience and flexibility of treatment: Clear aligners offer several advantages in terms of convenience and flexibility compared to traditional braces. Aligners are removable, allowing individuals to easily maintain oral hygiene, eat their favorite foods, and participate in activities without restrictions. The flexibility of clear aligners appeals to individuals with busy lifestyles or specific requirements, contributing to their popularity.

Growing demand for non-invasive orthodontic treatments: Many individuals prefer non-invasive orthodontic treatments that avoid the need for extractions or invasive procedures. Clear aligners are a non-invasive option for teeth straightening, as they gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment without the use of brackets, wires, or adhesives. The demand for non-invasive orthodontic treatments has propelled the growth of the clear aligners market.

Increasing disposable income and affordability: The affordability of clear aligner treatments has improved over the years, making them accessible to a larger population. Additionally, the increase in disposable income in many regions has allowed more individuals to consider orthodontic treatments as an investment in their oral health and aesthetics. The combination of affordability and rising disposable income has contributed to the growth of the clear aligners market.

Growing awareness and patient education: Increased awareness of orthodontic options, including clear aligners, has led to higher patient education and demand. Patients are now more informed about different treatment options available to them and actively seek out clear aligners as a viable alternative to traditional braces. The availability of information through online resources, dental professionals, and marketing efforts has fueled this awareness.

Adoption by dental professionals and orthodontic practices: The acceptance and adoption of clear aligner treatments by dental professionals and orthodontic practices have played a crucial role in driving the market. Many dental professionals now offer clear aligners as part of their treatment options, expanding access to clear aligner treatments. The endorsement and promotion of clear aligners by dental professionals contribute to their growing popularity.
