Industry Overview
The global dental adhesive market was valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow to USD 3.42 billion by 2030, thus growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period 2025-2030. Dental adhesives are defined as non-toxic and water-soluble material that can be placed on the gums and dentures to hold them in place in the mouth, thus enhancing the normal physiological forces. It helps to reduce the movement and slippage of dentures in the mouth while eating, speaking, laughing, coughing, and other similar activities.
The global dental adhesive market has witnessed healthy growth in recent years, due to the increase in the geriatric population having conditions such as dry mouth (xerostomia), periodontitis, root, and coronal caries, unhealthy food habits in the young population, and other factors. Various types of adhesives for dental use are available in the market that provide superior bond strength, versatility, and ease of use for dental bonding.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global dental adhesives market owing to nationwide lockdown and strict social distancing norms. The issue regarding dental practice coronavirus transmission is widely recognized around the world. Moreover, dentistry is the riskiest profession for COVID-19 due to the nature of dental procedures, and the proximity of the dental teams with patients, the disease could easily spread from infected patients to the dental team and vice versa. Thus, there is a demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) which had a significant impact on the dental economy thus affecting the demand for dental adhesives.
Market Segmentation

The younger generation is prone to dental cavities and thus forms the main consumer base for this application.
Insight by Etching Technique
On the basis of the etching technique, the dental adhesive market is divided into total-etch, self-etch, and selective etch. Among all these categories, self-etch adhesive dominates the market, owing to the rising demand for reduced technique sensitivity, less-time time-consuming clinical application, and reduced incidences of post-operative sensitivity.
Insight by Technology
On the basis of technology, the dental adhesive market is classified into water-based, solvent-based, radiation-cured, and others. Water-based technology holds the largest share owing to the rise in the geriatric population, shift in consumer habits, and advancement of new products.
Insight by End-User
On the basis of end-users, the dental adhesive market is categorized into dental hospitals and clinics, dental academics and research institutes, laboratories, and others. Among all these categories, dental hospitals and clinics hold the largest share of the market and are also anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.
