Increasing prevalence of dental problems is expected to drive growth of the global dental air polishing unit market over the forecast period
Rising dental problems among the population is expected to drive growth of the dental air polishing unit market over the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2020, it is estimated that in 2019, 2.3 billion people were suffering from caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffered from caries of primary teeth, globally. According to the same source, dental caries occur due to the formation of plaque on the surface of the teeth. Plaque has the capacity to convert free sugars, either artificial or natural, consumed by the person into acids, which destroys the teeth over time. Other reasons such as unhealthy diet, tobacco use, excess alcohol consumption, and poor oral hygiene leads to various dental issues such as cavities, gum disease (gingivitis), periodontitis, sensitive teeth, and others. For instance, according to World Health Organization, 2020, approximately 8 million people die every year due to consumption of tobacco. According to CDC, in 2019, in the U.S., approximately 34.2 million people were smoking cigarettes. Therefore, increasing number of smokers, tobacco consumers etc. are expected to boost the global dental air polishing unit market growth over the forecast period.
Increasing product launches by key players is expected to drive the global dental air polishing unit market growth over the forecast period
Market players are focused on adoption of organic growth strategies such as product launch to strengthen their position in the dental air polishing unit market over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2019, KaVo Kerr launched a fully upgraded version of PROPHYflex 4 portable dental air polishing device for stain removal, bacterial plaque removal, and enamel cleaning, which can be used for supra and sub gingival areas.
Global Dental Air Polishing Unit Market – Restraints
Lack of awareness and knowledge about the benefits of government health policies among the population is expected to restrain the global dental air polishing market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research, and National Institute of Health (NIH), 2019, approximately 50% of the children within the age group 3 – 17 years with Medicaid policy had dental appointment in the previous year. Furthermore, 31.3% people having Medicaid services were unaware of their dental benefits and 37.7 % of the people were having false knowledge about the benefits of Medicaid.

Global Dental Air Polishing Unit Market – Regional Analysis
On the basis of region, the global dental air polishing unit market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global dental air polishing unit market over the forecast period, owing to the unhealthy lifestyle adopted by the U.S. population. For instance, according to the CDC, 2018 and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2017, in the U.S., on an average, around 84.8 million adults consume fast food or junk food on a daily basis. Fast food has high amount of calories, sugar, fats, and salt, which when consumed in large amount leads to oral diseases, type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Thus, increased consumption of sugar may lead to increased incidence of oral disorders, which is expected to spur the dental air polishing unit market growth.
Asia Pacific region is an emerging dental air polishing unit market over the forecast period, owing to increasing prevalence of oral problems among the population in this region. For instance, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019, Asia Pacific accounts for 60% of the world population. Therefore, there is large amount of oral health problem cases being reported in this region as compared to the entire world.
Furthermore, according to the Indian Dental Association (IDA), 2019, in India, 9 out of 10 adults are suffering from major oral health problems and more than 76% of adults are having cavities or are developing cavities. According to the same source, out of the total number of adults who brush daily once, 95% of them have oral problems and 83% have cavities or are at a risk of developing them. Moreover, according to the study conducted by Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2020, it has been observed that an average of 20.2 teeth are decayed, lost or were filled till the person reaches the age above 50 years.
