Which key drivers are propelling the 3d printing plastics market’s growth?
The 3D printing plastics market’s growth is expected to boost due to the surge in dental procedures. Dental procedures encompass a broad spectrum of medical interventions and treatments conducted by dental professionals, such as dentists and dental hygienists. These procedures aim to diagnose, prevent, and treat a variety of dental issues and oral health conditions. 3D printing plastics play a crucial role in these procedures for fabricating custom dental implements such as bridges, dental implants, crowns, and orthodontic devices with remarkable precision and designed specifically for individual patients. For instance, NHS Digital, a government agency based in the UK, reported that dentists carried out 24,272 dental procedures in the UK during 2021-22. This was an upswing of 539 from the earlier year. Thus, the surge in dental procedures is fueling the growth of the 3D printing plastics market.
