The global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 280.3 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Dental polymerization lamps, also known as curing lights, are hand-held devices used in dental clinics and laboratories to cure light-cured dental materials like composites, cements and adhesives. They emit blue light in the wavelength range of 400-500nm which activates camphorquinone catalysts present in dental resins, initiating polymerization and hardening of the material. Key applications of dental polymerization lamps include bonding restorations, sealing of pits and fissures, root canal fillings and crowns/bridges cementation. Compared to earlier mercury vapor bulbs, LED lamps offer advantages such as longer lifespan, smaller sizes, durability and programmable functions.
Market key trends:
Launch of technologically advanced lamps is a major trend witnessed in the market. Key players are focusing on developing lamps with advanced features like programmable curing modes, wireless controls, multi-wavelength spectrums and real-time monitoring of parameters like remaining lamp life. For instance, 3M launched ESPE EliparTM S10 LED curing light with Tru-LumeTM technology that provides up to 40,000 light activations and ensures consistent light output throughout its lifetime. Similarly, DENTSPLY Sirona introduced Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill composite specially formulated to work with VALO Grand LED curing light for optimized polymerization. Rising adoption of such innovative products is expected to drive the growth of dental polymerization lamps market during the forecast period.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The high cost of entry for establishing manufacturing plants and obtaining regulatory approvals pose medium threat of new entrants in the dental polymerization lamps market.
Bargaining power of buyers: The bargaining power of buyers is medium as the demand for dental polymerization lamps depends on the number of dentists practicing and availability of substitutes provide average bargaining power to buyers.
Bargaining power of suppliers: The bargaining power of suppliers is low due to the presence of a large number of raw material suppliers for dental polymerization lamps.
Threat of new substitutes: The threat of new substitutes is medium as alternative curing technologies like plasma arc curing light and halogen curing light possess medium threat as substitutes.
Competitive rivalry: The global dental polymerization lamps market is moderately competitive owing to the presence of global and domestic key players.
