4 June2022Healthcare is one of the most essential industries for any nation, and India is no exception. With a major contribution in terms of revenue and employment alike, the Indian healthcare industry has gradually developed to become one of the largest sectors of the Indian economy. Dentistry forms a significant part of this ever burgeoning industry and has been a growing sector in itself. Internationally, the Asian dentistry market experienced the highest growth (10 percent), followed by the US market. India is another major player in the dentistry industry owing to its manufacturing capabilities when it comes to dental products. The Indian dentistry market has been at the receiving end of enormous investment opportunities through FDI, outsourcing to healthcare BPOs and sectoral growth in the field of telemedicine, diagnosis, and others. India is also a major exporter of dental products to other nations across the globe. According to reports, the India dental service market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.34 percent between 2017-2030. The dental service market will witness growth owing to lucrative fields such as laser dentistry and painless treatment. The market has benefitted hugely from different micro and macro factors including the increased awareness about healthcare and healthcare expenditure. As more private dental offices come to light, they are successfully facilitating high quality and affordable dental healthcare for Indians in the urban and rural areas alike. Much like the rest of the world, the Indian dental industry has also been affected by the global pandemic. As business landscape reels under the after-effects of Covid-19, the Indian dental industry has had to adapt and transcend with the need of the current scenario.
