Europe Clear Aligners Market
Europe Clear Aligners Market by Material (Polyurethane, Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) Type (At-home, In-office) Age Group (Children, Adults) Distribution Channel (Offline, Online) End User (Clinics & Hospitals, Direct-to-customer) - Forecast to 2030
Report ID:MRHC - 104919 Pages: 180 Jul-2024 Formats*: PDF Category: Healthcare Delivery: 24 to 72 HoursThe Europe Clear Aligners Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% from 2024 to 2030 to reach $5.43 billion by 2030. Clear aligners control teeth movement with gradual and consistent force. These aligners are made of polyurethane plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), and other materials. Typically employed to address malocclusion, the treatment duration varies based on the severity of the case. Hospitals, dental and orthodontics clinics, and dental laboratories use clear aligners for cosmetic surgeries or treatment of malocclusion for teenagers/children and adults.
The growth of this market is driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of malocclusion, product launches and approvals, advancements in dental technology, and a rising interest in aesthetic dentistry. However, the high cost of clear aligners restrain the market's growth.
Additionally, the surging demand for personalized aligners is expected to offer significant market growth opportunities. However, the lack of reimbursement policies poses a significant challenge to the market's growth.

Rising Prevalence of Malocclusion Driving the Market's Growth
Malocclusion is the third most common oral health problem globally, following periodontal disease and tooth decay. According to the European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry 2020 data, between 2009 and 2019, the global prevalence of malocclusion was 56%. Africa had the highest prevalence (81%), followed by Europe (72%), America (53%), and Asia (48%). Malocclusion in children and adolescents is a common condition that affects one out of every two people globally.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a high level of variability in the prevalence of malocclusion, with an estimated rate of 39% in children and 93% in adolescents. Furthermore, according to the European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry in 2020, the prevalence of malocclusion in Europe was 72%, with 52.05% being normal overbite, 34% open bite, 7% crossbites, and 3.82% posterior crossbite requiring dental treatment. These statistics emphasize the need for advanced treatment options for malocclusion, which is expected to drive the demand for clear aligners in the region. Thus, the rising malocclusion prevalence drives the demand for clear aligners in Europe.
Product Launches and Approvals Driving the Market's Growth
The increasing prevalence of malocclusion has led to significant growth in dental treatments. According to the Global Healthy Thinking Report 2021, approximately 10% of people in Germany, 11% of people in France, 12% of people in Spain, 11% of people in the U.K., and 15% of people in Italy desired orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners, as their preferred choice to beautify their smile. Thus, there is a high demand for clear aligners for orthodontic treatments. The key players in this market focus on launching new products and securing approvals from regulatory authorities. For instance:
- In May 2024, Smileie (U.S.) launched the direct-to-consumer invisible braces in Europe, Australia, and the U.K.
- In September 2022, Align Technology, Inc. (U.S.) expanded its regional manufacturing facility in Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) to provide the Invisalign system of clear aligners and to expand regional operations which include treatment planning facilities (TREAT) based in Poland, Germany, France, and Spain.
- In December 2021, SMILE2IMPRESS SL. (Spain) expanded digital treatment planning and clear aligner production facilities in Europe.
Thus, new product launches and approvals are expected to boost the growth of the Europe clear aligners market.
