global dental lithium disilicate market size was USD 174.1 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch USD 940.6 Million By 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with dental lithium disilicate experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) is a glass ceramic material. Due to their durability, machinability, and translucency, they are frequently utilized as dental ceramics. Lithium disilicate has a unique microstructure made up of several tiny, interconnecting, randomly oriented plate-like needle-like crystals. This structure results in the deflection, blunting, and/or branching of fractures, which stops cracks from spreading. It has been used as a material for crowns, bridges, and veneers in dentistry.
The demand for lithium disilicate is increasingly rising across various applications in dentistry. Hospitals and dental clinics are among the major end-users of the product, and are expected to generate monumental demand in the forthcoming years. Increasing number of patients with dental problems due to poor oral hygiene will act as a pivotal factor augmenting the dental lithium disilicate market share during the projected period.
COVID-19 Impact: Closure of Dental Clinics Threatened the Market Trends During Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an influence on the market and on the healthcare systems. During the pandemic, most dental clinics were either shut down or operated at a diminished capacity in order to contain the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, many dental patients delayed dental appointments due to strict lockdown restrictions and increased healthy and safety concerns among the general population. Dentists and their staff members were at an elevated risk of contracting and/or spreading the coronavirus outbreak due to high risk of transmission. Patients are also at an elevated risk since the respiratory system is involved in the other as it requires intimate interaction with a lot of patients. Due to these factors, the dental lithium disilicate market growth experienced a decline during COVID-19.
LATEST TRENDS
"Market to Prosper due to Rising Demand for Ceramic Repair Supplies"
Across the world, dental caries is a serious health issue which can lead to pain, deformity, and suffering. Additionally, the most prevalent diseases that go undetected and need immediate care from individuals globally are dental decay and periodontal disease. Therefore, as tooth decay has risen, so has the need for ceramic materials. For instance, the World Health Organization predicts that 3.9 billion people worldwide were affected by oral problems in 2018 and that 60–90% of children suffer tooth decay. For a number of reasons, including their superior mechanical properties, strong electrical resistance, high thermal conductivity, and excellent biocompatibility, ceramic materials are also employed in dentistry. Therefore, it is anticipated that increased demand for ceramic restoration materials will fuel the market expansion.

DRIVING FACTORS
"Increasing Demand Across Dental Clinics to Augment Growth"
The dental clinic industry is one of the biggest end-users of dental lithium disilicate.. Mostly at dentistry clinics, patients receive dental care, including the fitting of dental bridges and crowns by dentists. Due to the rise in dental health problems among the global population, the number of dental clinics across the world is rising. The growing prevalence of oral health concerns among individuals, especially elderly people, and the subsequent rise in dental clinic services worldwide will bolster the market outlook during the forecast period.
"Growing Demand for Advanced Dentistry Equipment to Boost Market "
The dental industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by growing public demand for improved dental services. The market for dental products is booming as oral and dental health conditions rise among the global population. As a result, dental clinics as well as healthcare facilities providing dental services are expanding their offerings and adopting new technologically-advanced equipment. These factors are anticipated to work in favour of the dental lithium disilicate market in the coming years.
RESTRAINING FACTORS
"High Cost Could Affect Product Demand to Some Extent"
Crowns and dental products made of lithium disilicate are expensive. For instance, the price typically ranges from USD 500 to USD 1500. Furthermore, since they are only meant to replace one tooth, they are brittle and more transparent than zirconia, which may not complement darker teeth. They may also shatter if placed on a biting surface. These factors could have a negative impact on the market growth and product demand in the future.
