The global dental market is expected roughly to double in size over the next decade. Rising demand for aesthetic treatments, such as implants, veneers and braces, is set to drive the bulk of the growth, particularly in major developed markets such as the US and across Europe. Demand for aesthetic treatments surged immediately after the pandemic as consumers, flush with cash, splashed out on improving their appearance. After several years of growth, demand flattened last year. But according to proprietary analysis by the team at investment bank Berenberg, that’s about to change, particularly in the largest market, the US.

Berenberg’s analysis found that 60% of dentists in the US expect spending on procedures to recover in 2025, driven by enhanced consumer sentiment following Donald Trump’s election. Tax cuts and lower interest rates could also help fuel demand, all of which could be good news for Straumann Holding (Zurich: STMN).
