The global dental articulators’ market was valued at USD 126.04 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The market for dental articulators is growing because of an aging population and appropriate reimbursement regulations. For instance, according to the FDI World Dental Federation, the global population is aging, with estimates predicting that by 2050, 25% of the world's population - 2 billion individuals – will be over 60 years old. A fifth of them, 400 million, will be above 80. According to epidemiological research, poor oral health affects older adults more than younger people, with unfavorable effects on their overall health. Gum disease, tooth loss, sore throat, and oral cancer limit their chewing function and nutritional intake, as well as their capacity to connect socially, resulting in a significant reduction in quality of life, if not death.

In addition, according to the Government of India, the state government of Haryana has implemented the policy regarding reimbursement of 31 dental procedures. Besides, the Division of Dental Services of the Mississippi State Department of Health is in charge of assessing, developing policies and programs, and assuring the prevention and management of oral disorders. Through public health clinics, schools, and authorized health practitioners, they reach out to children, individuals, couples, and communities. Thus, the various private and public programs for these treatments and reimbursement policies and the geriatric population have boosted the market growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, one of the key variables expected to boost the dental articulators market is the availability of trained endodontists who can help reduce issues such as coronavirus transmission during these treatments. The COVID-19 epidemic had a negative impact on the articulator business. However, the high cost of instruments, a lack of experienced employees, and worries about complexity are the key roadblocks to the market's expansion.

Growth Drivers
The dental articulators market has observed extensive developments in the last few decades supported by various factors such as the rising prevalence and incidences of teeth disorders and the demand for the product across the globe. For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of children aged 5 to 19 years with untreated dental caries in the United States is 13.2 % (2015-2018), and untreated cavities affect 25.9% of persons aged 20 to 44. (2015-2018). Also, 64.9 % aged 18 and above had a dental appointment in 2019.
Besides, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), cavities, periodontist (gum) illness, oral cancer, oral infectious illnesses, injury from accidents, and inherited abnormalities are the most common oral diseases. Cavities affect 20–90% of 6-year-old children in Europe. Dental caries affects an average of 0.5–3.5 teeth by 12, and approximately 100% of adults have had the illness. In Europe, severe periodontal (gum) disease affects 5–20 % of middle-aged (35–44 year) persons and up to 40% of the elderly (65–74 years).
Severe periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. Around 30% of Europeans aged 65–74 have no natural teeth, limiting their ability to function and improve their quality of life. Oral cancer is more common in men, the elderly, and persons with poor education and income. Dental trauma may impact up to 40 percent of school-going children in European countries due to dangerous playgrounds. Birth abnormalities like cleft palate affect about one in every 500–700 babies. This rate differs significantly between ethnic groups and geographical places.
Furthermore, in the future, the dental articulators market expansion will be supported by increased awareness of the numerous benefits of orthodontic treatments and product improvements that ensure higher efficiency and performance. Due to the accuracy of orthodontic treatment, fixed prosthodontic restorations, and accurate manufacturing of the biting surfaces of removable prosthodontic equipment, demand for the market is expected to increase throughout the forecast period. Thus, the growing incidences of dental disorders and availability of products have led to an increase in the demand for them, boosting the market growth during the forecast period.
