India’s dental devices market to grow by 12.5%

As India advances on its path toward modernisation and technological innovation,the future of dental care is set to be transformative, delivering greater accessibility, affordability, and improved quality of services for its large population.

Against this backdrop, India’s dental devices market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% through 2035, forecasts GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

According to GlobalData’s Medical Intelligence Centre, India’s dental devices market is among the fastest-growing in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region and accounted for 12.4% of the regional market share in 2025.

And this share is expected to increase, supported by rising oral healthcare awareness, growing demand for advanced dental procedures, continued expansion of private dental clinics and hospitals, and improved access to dental care across semi-urban areas.

Priyanka Chakraborty, medical devices analyst at GlobalData, said: “In recent years, India’s dental healthcare sector has seen the increasing adoption of CAD/CAM systems for same-day fabrication of dental crowns and bridges,alongside strong growth in cosmetic dentistry.

“This cosmetic segment is largely driven by demand for aesthetic procedures involving teeth whitening systems, clear aligners, and dental handpieces for smile enhancement.”

In January 2026, Dentalkart, India’s largest online dental marketplace, announced a partnership with NSK Japan, a global manufacturer of dental rotary equipment, to connect Indian dentists directly with the manufacturer through a transparent, digital-first platform.

The alliance seeks to establish an authorised distribution channel that guarantees genuine NSK products at standardised price, while minimising counterfeit risk and supply inconsistencies.

Dentalkart will list NSK’s complete range, from basic handpieces like airotors to advanced surgical systems, positioning itself as a one-stop shop for dental equipment.

The direct model also strengthens warranty and service support, improves spare-parts access, boosts customer trust, and helps curb the grey market for dental handpieces.

Chakraborty said: “With India’s dental care landscape entering a high-growth,technology-led phase, it is poised to expand its influence in the APAC region.

“Partnerships such as Dentalkart and NSK Japan are expected to ensure fair pricing and smooth distribution of authentic products, signalling a shift towards a more-reliable, efficient, and patient-centric dental ecosystem for India’s expanding population.”
