Industry overview
The Indian dental industry consists mainly of independent clinics operated by individual dentists. However, there has been a recent emergence of dental specialty chains in major cities of India, which are often supported by venture capital or private equity funding. These chains have contributed significantly to the growth of the industry by promoting the use of advanced, high-quality tools, fittings, and equipment. Indian companies primarily focus on the production of clinical disposables, instruments, disinfectant tools, sterilizing equipment, impression materials, and temporary materials for tooth filling.
The high-end segment of the market, such as dental implants, fittings, and prosthetics, is mainly dominated by foreign players with local presence in India, although many Indian companies also manufacture under license for foreign manufacturers while simultaneously engaging in trade and importing activities. Currently, there are around 5,000 dental laboratories and 300 dental institutes providing basic and advanced oral health care. As the number of dental chains increases, the organized dental clinics' share is expected to grow across the country.
