Dental Impression Material Market size was valued at USD 1.02 billion in 2024 and is set to reach USD 2.7 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at around 7.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of dental impression material is assessed at USD 1.08 billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the higher prevalence of teeth damage due to cavities. Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that about 52% of children aged 6 to 8 years have cavities in their baby teeth worldwide. The increasing number of dental problems is owing to the bad oral hygiene of people. The growing number of dental diseases which include gum disease, tooth sensitivity, decay, oral cancer, and dry mouth are estimated to boost the market growth. Unhygienic habits such as not brushing teeth, frequent eating, drinking sugary sodas, and delaying tooth decay or gum pains are the reason for the increasing growth of the market.
Furthermore, the global dental impression material market is projected to grow on the back of the higher prevalence of various dental diseases. Dental impression material has been divided into three different types that are final, occlusal (bite), and preliminary impressions. Dental impressions are made of multiple materials such as alginate, polyester, silicone, and others. Growing advancement in dental treatment is further projected to flourish the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, the value of the dental industry was anticipated to be almost USD 35 billion in 2021. Dental impression material are utilized to make a copy of the teeth and gum structure to fabricate a dental cast by pouring specialized dental plaster. One of the most commonly used impression materials is alginate.

Material (Alginate, Polyether, Silicon); Application (Orthodontics, Restorative, Prosthodontics)
The global dental impression material market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into alginate, polyether, silicon, and others. Amongst these segments, the alginate segment is expected to garner a significant share. The alginate is cheap and takes less time to capture a mold. Alginate is an irreversible hydrocolloid material that exists in liquid and solid phases. The less time and cost-effective nature of alginate are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years. It only takes 45-60 secs for a dental impression. The most accurate setting is formed with the use of alginate which reduces errors and discomfort to the patient after the treatment increasing its efficiency in the dental field. More than 40% of alginate material consumption is made by clinics for dental impressions around the world.
