Clear Aligners Market Outlook
The global clear aligners market will rise at a strong pace of 19.8% during the forecast period of 2023 - 2029 to reach US$23.8 Bn by 2029.
Clear Aligners Market All Set for a Strong Growth Trajectory as Aligners Become an Attractive Treatment Area in Dentistry
The global clear aligners market reached remarkable revenue of around US$5.4 Bn in 2021 and is forecast to demonstrate a significant growth rate between 2023 and 2029. Clear aligners continue to emerge as a preferred alternative treatment over traditional metal braces. Clear aligners offer more flexibility, less discomfort, and pain throughout the treatment and are more aesthetic. The various macro and microeconomic factors, viz., growth in disposable income, expansion and acceptance of aesthetic procedures, and procedural availability are contributing to the robust growth of the market across the globe.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers malocclusion as one of the most important oral health problems, after caries and periodontal disease. Its prevalence is highly variable and is estimated to be between 39% and 93% in children, and adolescents. Demand for clear aligners treatment to correct misaligned teeth is poised for exponential growth, which boosts the growth of clear aligners market worldwide. Straumann Group, one of the key players in the market mentions clear aligners as a valid treatment option in around 60% of the estimated orthodontic cases each year.
Huge Unmet Need for Efficient Dental Care Will Pose an Attractive Growth Potential for Clear Aligners Market
Preference for aesthetic looks, teeth misalignment, and functional disabilities require people to opt for effective orthodontic treatments. Clear aligners are being perceived as the fastest growth area in orthodontics today. Increasing attention to aesthetics, deepening penetration within teens, digitizing workflow, increase in the number of trained orthodontists and general practitioners, and rapid product improvement are the key growth levers for the global clear aligners market. Approximately 20% of the US population realize deviation from the ideal bite and around 66% of the US adults have incisor irregularities. Despite the high need for treatment, only four million people in the US were estimated to wear orthodontic braces by 2020 and a mere 1–1.5 million clear aligner cases were started in the same year. Although the COVID-19 pandemic was a clear impediment to market growth in 2020, the statistics clearly indicate the significant potential of clear aligners to develop a strong market.
Innovative Products on Fastrack FDA Approvals Will Boost Progress of Clear Aligners Market
Product innovation is recently witnessing a strong uptrend in clear aligners market space. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for clear aligners are on the fast track post-2018. Since 2018, more than 40 new clear aligner producers have been granted approval by the FDA to print clear aligners which is more than double those cleared in all years leading up to 2018, (21 approvals) combined. A few notable launches in 2018 included Dentsply Sirona’s SureSmile aligner with options including pay-per aligner and in-office DIY aligner, Henry Schein’s SLX clear aligners, and 3M Oral’s Clarity clear aligners.
Disruptive Technologies, and Digital Transformation to Drive Clear Aligners Market Growth
Enhanced digital orthodontic and restorative workflows, and technologies are expected to offer new avenues for new dentists to practice their treatment skills. Automation is driving evolution in digital dentistry. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted assessment, and notifications are facilitating dental practitioners, and doctors to prioritize, and track treatment progress, and patient compliance, especially in cases of children, and teenagers. Rapid advances in biomaterials, computer-aided design, and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are playing important role in endorsing clear aligners treatment as a preferred treatment option, in turn driving the expansion of clear aligners market. Align Technology, Inc. continues investment in digital restorative workflows and a range of digitally enabled solutions viz., chairside visualization, in-office milling options, prosthetic CAD capabilities, and laboratory workflows for restorative dentistry. Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies, 3D printing, dynamic smart navigation systems may provide best-in-class digitalization platforms in digital solutions to further improve processes and access, and thus patient outcomes and practice efficiencies.
Developing Countries Pledge Notable Expansion While the US Retains Dominance in Global Clear Aligners Market
Currently, North America dominates the global clear aligners market, surging ahead with a CAGR of 22.0% between the forecast period 2023-2029. North America houses around 10,500 orthodontists, and a significant number of the target audience. However, the increasingly saturating orthodontist channel and overwhelming competition to capture the narrowed chunk of the pie will remain a challenge to market growth in the US. The market in Asia Pacific exhibits robust market growth on the back of strong performance by developing economies such as China, and India. China is emerging as a superfast regional contender after the US. Moreover, projections reveal that the supply will heighten with establishment of numerous Asia-based aligner companies in the next few years.
Key Players in Global Clear Aligners Market
3M Company, Institut Straumann AG, Dentsply Sirona, and Henry Schein, Inc. are some of the other prominent leaders in the marketplace. A few other players actively participating in the global clear aligners market landscape include Danaher Corporation, Alignerco, 32 Watts (Renderwise Solutions Pvt Ltd), Ormco Corporation, TP Orthodontics, Inc., Nevident, and K-Line Europe GmbH.
Align Technology, Inc. Riding Strong on the Back of Invisalign Legacy
Align Technology, Inc. is a clear market leader capturing a significant chunk of the global clear aligners market value. The top position is mainly owing to the dominance of Invisalign for more than two decades. As of 2020, Invisalign has earned US$2.3 Bn in revenue and catered to more than 6 million patients and still counting. Significant growth potential remains in the early stages of transforming malocclusion treatment and building the leading digital dentistry platform. By identifying current market trends among customers, health consumers, product technologies, and within the socio-political landscape the market players are developing newer strategies from being product-centric to customer-centric, with more emphasis on services and solutions. Direct-to-consumer marketing and online service providers offering treatment packages are increasingly driving the clear aligner demand in the market. Moreover, vertical integration, the introduction of in-house treatment planning, and production facility is further expected to reduce turnaround and early initiation of treatment post patients’ first visit to the clinic.

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
