Porter's Analysis Threat of new entrants: Dental services require huge capital investments and regulatory compliance which pose high entry barriers for new players. Bargaining power of buyers: Individual consumers have low bargaining power due to inelastic demand for dental services but insurance providers enjoy better bargaining power. Bargaining power of suppliers: Dental equipment and consumables suppliers have moderate bargaining power as they have to depend on dental clinics for sales revenues. Threat of new substitutes: There are limited substitutes available for dental services though some treatments can be delayed or avoided. Competitive rivalry: Dental clinics compete intensely on service quality, technology, customer experience and brand value to gain higher market share.
Geographical Regions North America currently holds the largest share in the global dental services market in terms of value owing to factors such as presence of leading dental facilities, rising dental tourism and growing dental expenditure. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing unmet dental care needs, growing medical tourism sector and rising healthcare expenditure in developing countries of Asia Pacific.
