The UAE dental care market size is at around $179 Mn in 2022 and is projected to reach $318 Mn in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period from 2022-30. The UAE is relatively new to medical and dental tourism; its high-quality services are drawing an increasing number of international patients. Prices for dental procedures in the UAE aren't as low as in other, more established medical tourist destinations, such as Thailand - but visitors to the UAE aren't normally concerned with saving money, given that it is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Aside from the possible savings, the UAE's major lure for dental tourists is the sheer high-quality and luxury of its treatments; this country just does not settle for second-best.
The government of the UAE has also been investing in expanding and improving its healthcare infrastructure and services, which has contributed to higher healthcare spending. Additionally, the increasing awareness of oral health and the growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry has led to an increase in the demand for dental services, which may also be contributing to higher healthcare spending in this area.
The dentistry market in the UAE is growing rapidly due to factors such as an increasing population, rising disposable incomes, and increased awareness of oral health. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by factors such as an increasing focus on preventative care, the growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry, and the expansion of insurance coverage for dental treatments. The market is also expected to benefit from government initiatives aimed at promoting oral health and increasing the number of dental professionals in the country. However, the market is also characterized by a high degree of competition among providers, which may lead to price pressure and reduced profitability for some players.
Market Growth Drivers
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) dentistry services industry is expanding, with a high demand for dental care. Some of the things that contribute to this are as follows: The UAE has a growing population and a large number of expats. The UAE government is concentrating its efforts on strengthening the healthcare industry and boosting medical tourism. Advanced technology and equipment are available at dentistry clinics and hospitals. A wide range of dental services, such as orthodontics, aesthetic dentistry, and implantology, are available. There is an increasing number of private dental clinics and specialist dental institutions offering a wide range of services and treatments. The expansion of dental insurance coverage for treatments and procedures. The presence of a high number of dental practitioners, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthodontic specialists, periodontists, and endodontists.
Market Restraints
The UAE has a restricted number of dental education institutions, making it challenging to attract and retain dental practitioners in the country. The limited availability of dental experts in certain places, particularly in rural areas, might make access to dental care difficult for patients. Strict rules and qualifications for dental practitioners are necessary, making it difficult for new experts to enter the market and limiting the number of specialists accessible to give treatments. The market's considerable competitiveness and the presence of numerous prominent dental clinics and centers can make it tough for new dental practices to establish themselves. High dental treatment expenses, can be an impediment for some patients, particularly those without insurance coverage.
