Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global dental polymerization lamps market over the forecast period. North America holds 45.1% of the market share. According to a data published by ResearchGate, in June 2019, a study was conducted in dental offices in the U.S. to measure the light intensity of light curing units used. It was stated that the frequency of LED curing lights is more as compared to the QTH lights

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global dental polymerization lamps market. For instance, in 2022, according to the data published by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, dental surgeries and dental treatment procedures have been decreased due to COVID-19 due to the higher risk of COVID-19 transmission through the particles generated at the time of dental treatment.

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market Segmentation:

The global dental polymerization lamps market report is segmented into Type, End User, and Region

Based on Type, the market is segmented into quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), light-emitting diode (LED), plasma arc curing (PAC), and argon laser. Out of which, the light-emitting diode (LED) segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the global dental polymerization lamps market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing usage of light-emitting diode.

Based on End User, the market is segmented into hospitals, dental clinics, and others (specialty clinics, etc.). Out of which, dental clinics segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is due to the increasing number of dental practitioners

Among all segmentation, the type segment has the highest potential due to the increasing usage of light-emitting diode (LED) over the forecast period.

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market Cross Sectional Analysis:

In type segment, light-emitting diode (LED) holds a dominant segment due to the increasing usage of light-emitting diode curing light. For instance, in 2019, a study was conducted to compare and evaluate the effect of light-emitting diode curing light and curing modes on nanohybrid composite resins. The light-emitting diode (LED) curing unit and quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) curing unit were operated in two different modes after polymerization LED-curing units had shown an adequate depth of cure than QTH-curing light

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market: Key Developments

• Increasing technological advancements by key market players is expected to drive the global dental polymerization lamps market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, Ultradent Products Inc., a manufacturer of dental materials and equipment, announced that it had introduced technological advancement in VALO Grand curing light, which uses a multi-wavelength LED for producing high-intensity light by launching six new lenses. The new curing lenses include the PointCure lens that creates a 2.5mm diameter curing area to aid in position and tack curing.

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market: Key Trends

Increasing usage of dental curing lights is expected to drive the dental polymerization lamps market

Increasing usage of dental curing lights is expected to drive the dental polymerization lamps market which is expected to drive the dental polymerization lamps market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in July 2021, according to the data published by ResearchGate Journal, a study was conducted to evaluate the intensity of light curing units among dental practitioners in Palestine. It was concluded that 93% of dental practitioners used light-emitting diode (LED) during dental practices.

Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market: Restraint

Low awareness towards maintenance and usage of light-curing units

The global dental polymerization lamps market can be hindered by low awareness towards maintenance and usage of light-curing units. For instance, in December 2022, according to the data published by Medical Science Article, a study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and perception of 108 dental students and interns about Light-Curing Units (LCUs). It was concluded that dental students and interns have very

low overall knowledge regarding the light-curing units.
