The global dental simulator market was valued at USD 314.4 million in 2021 and it is predicted to surpass around USD 699.77 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 9.3% from 2022 to 2030.
Report Highlights
The growing demand for simulation technologies in education & training is one of the major factors augmenting the industry growth. In addition, the rising awareness in developing countries regarding dental simulators for enhanced treatment outcomes and training applications is also boosting the growth. To curb the spread of the COVID-19 infection, the governments of various countries declared complete lockdowns and travel restrictions, thereby halting the majority of dental procedures and dental education practices. The effect of the pandemic on delivering restorative dentistry and other practical courses was tremendous.
Hence, dental schools adopted digital teaching platforms using simulation technologies incorporated with haptic responses, and Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR). These enabled students to quarantine themselves and the instructors to safely provide remote teaching facilities. However, the supply chain of dental simulator hardware was restricted during the initial stages of the pandemic impacting the business of major players. A wide scope of applications of dental simulators in the field of endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, implantology, oral & maxillofacial surgery, and dental radiology is boosting their importance and usage in dental schools. Dental simulators facilitate an individualized and personalized learning experience with extensive repetition for students to improve their training.
It also has features to record, store, and review with feedback options that allow self-training. Moreover, dental simulators reduce the cost spent by dental schools for cadavers, further increasing the convenience and compatibility for students to use simulators for training. Key players in the industry are implementing various strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, mergers, partnerships, and hardware & software launches, among others to maintain a competitive edge. For instance, in January 2022, Dentsply Sirona announced its partnership with the University of Toulouse in France, to introduce the company’s simulation units as preclinical laboratory equipment. Similarly, companies are launching advanced products to aid dental simulation training with ease. For instance, in August 2019, HRV Simulation combined VR headsets with haptic feedback technology in dental training simulators to train dental students more realistically.

Component Insights
The hardware segment dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the largest share of more than 73.6% of the overall revenue. The high share of this segment is owing to the rising adoption of electrically connected care technologies in dental healthcare and education, initiatives by key companies in launching advanced feature in-built simulators, and the availability of a large number of simulation workstations, phantom heads, patient simulators, and accessories. Hardware facilities in dental simulators comprise display devices, such as 3D glasses and 2D display units, other stereoscopic display systems, and simulation tools, such as handheld styluses, foot control pedals, and physical hand or finger rests.
The software segment is estimated to witness the fastest growth rate over the forecast period on account of the technological advancements in dental practices to simulate treatment outcomes before the actual procedure. The increasing number of people adopting dental training and treatment simulation software, due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness, is anticipated to drive the growth of this segment over the forecast period. The training simulation software comprises training contents of different dental fields, with fundamental skills and clinical cases. It also has teaching & practice systems, evaluation (automatic & teacher-guided), force feedback, and simulated operating sounds.
Application Insights
On the basis of applications, the global industry has been categorized into dental training & education and treatment planning. The dental training & education segment dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the maximum share of more than 71.4% of the overall revenue. The high share of the segment can be attributed to a large number of dental graduates around the world showing interest in new ways of learning dentistry with proper dental simulation units. Education systems are constantly evolving with new trends & technologies, and advanced concepts, such as simulation tools are already embraced in dental training.
In addition, the global migration of dental students to access such advanced holistic approaches is enhancing the opportunities for the market. The treatment planning segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period on account of the rising dental consciousness among the population coupled with the convenience of undergoing dental simulation to simulate outcomes before actually undertaking any treatment. The availability of a significant number of such smile-simulating and treatment-simulating software coupled with cost-effective subscription options are anticipated in boosting the segment growth.
End-use Insights
On the basis of end-uses, the global industry has been further categorized into dental schools and hospitals & clinics. The dental school end-use segment dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the largest share of more than 65.6% of the overall revenue. The growing number of dental schools in developing countries with better simulation training facilities is attributed to the growth of the segment. For instance, there are over 310 dental schools in India, and most of them are privately held with better infrastructure units. In addition, dental education tourism in developed countries is significantly contributing to segmental growth.
The hospitals & clinics end-use segment, on the other hand, is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The fast growth can be attributed to the rising incorporation of dental treatment simulator units and software in dental hospitals. Furthermore, a few simulation clinics are specifically organized to provide simulation-based training for students and fresh graduates. An increasing focus on advanced learning, minimizing errors, cost-effectiveness, and replacing cadaver models are widely fueling the growth of the segment.
Regional Insights
On the basis of geographies, the global industry has been further categorized into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the largest share of more than 37.85% of the overall revenue. The high share of the region can be attributed to the presence of a large number of key players operating in the region with better dental simulator solutions. In addition, the high healthcare IT expenditure, high disposable income levels, wide usage of technologically advanced models in dental schools, and the growing awareness of simulation studies in the dental community are projected to drive the growth of the region.
The Asia Pacific region, on the other hand, is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The fast-paced growth can be attributed to the improving penetration of simulation studies in dental practices. The growing adoption of dental tool manufacturing facilities in the region is supporting the growth of the regional market. Furthermore, increasing investments in the dental healthcare sector in countries, such as Australia, China, India, and Japan, among others are also expected to augment the region’s growth.
