An increase in life expectancy has led to a rise in the geriatric population, which is likely to continue in the future. According to a report by the United Nations, in 2017, the global geriatric population was nearly 962 million and is projected to be 2.1 billion by 2050. According to the report by World Population Prospects 2019, by 2050, 16% of the world’s population would be over 65 years of age. This has resulted in a higher per capita demand for oral care services, creating a significant need for DPM solutions. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), older people enter the second round of cavity-prone years mainly due to dry mouth, which can be an adverse effect of drugs for asthma, high BP & cholesterol, pain, anxiety, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Since a major portion of the geriatric population uses these medicines, they are more prone to oral health problems. This is expected to drive the demand for DPM software. The number of independent practitioners has increased significantly in the U.S., Australia, and India owing to the supportive government policies and increasing awareness about oral health. Patients visiting independent practitioners often pay out of pocket, as they are more affordable than large establishments, because a large number of patients seeking oral care are either uninsured or their insurance plans do not cover oral medical care.
According to the ADA, there has been growth in dental clinics with more than 20 employees while the number of clinics with less than 5 employees has declined over the years in the U.S. Key players are focusing on expanding their presence in emerging regions, such as Asia Pacific and Latin America, due to the rising oral care expenditure, and an increasing number of supportive government policies. Companies are investing and expanding in key emerging markets, such as Singapore, Australia, Japan, Brazil, China, and India. For instance, in January 2017, Henry Schein completed the acquisition of Dental Cremer S.A. With this acquisition, the company expanded its geographic presence and expanded its product portfolio.
