VANCOUVER, Dec. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global pure alignment market, valued at USD 38.48 billion in 2032, is projected to experience strong growth, reaching USD 12.6 billion by 2028, according to a comprehensive market research report. The report projects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9% during the forecast period.
Key factors driving this significant market expansion include continuous technological advancements in dentistry, an increase in product launches and approvals for clear aligners, and a growing preference for clear aligners over traditional braces. Clear aligners, also known as invisible aligners, are clear trays designed to straighten teeth, serving as an alternative to traditional braces. These aligners have gained popularity due to their improved comfort, durability and aesthetic appeal compared to conventional methods.

The report highlights the transformative impact of technological advances in clear aligners, including virtual digital models, Computer-Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM), three-dimensional (3D) scanning and 3D printing technology. These innovations enable better diagnosis and personalized treatment experiences. The market has seen notable developments, such as the acquisition of exocad Global Holdings GmbH by Align Technology, Inc., facilitating the integration of digital platforms into orthodontic services.
The increase in oral health problems worldwide, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), is contributing to the increased demand for clear aligners. About 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, with tooth decay, severe gum disease and tooth loss being the most prevalent problems. The market is responding to this demand, as evidenced by the launch of the OraFit Custom Clear Alignment System by Bausch Health Companies Inc., to address malocclusion and align permanent teeth.
However, challenges such as the high cost of clear aligners, lack of awareness about dental health issues, and potential discomfort for patients may hinder the growth of the market. Clear alignment treatments are relatively expensive and improper use can affect the effectiveness of the treatment process. Some patients may experience problems with biting, leading to concerns about the change in facial shape and associated symptoms.
The adolescent segment dominated the global clear aligners market in 2022, accounting for the largest revenue share. The prevalence of common oral health problems in children and adolescents, such as crooked teeth and malocclusion, contributes to the popularity of clear aligners in this age group.
The polyurethane segment is expected to witness rapid revenue growth due to the increasing use of clear aligners incorporating polyurethane materials. Major orthodontic companies such as Invisalign and SureSmile utilize polyurethane to enhance elasticity and structural properties.
The in-office aligners segment is expected to see moderate revenue growth, driven by dental professionals who provide personalized teeth alignment treatment. Notably, SmileDirectClub’s partnership with dentists emphasizes in-office alignment care.
North America led the global clear aligners market in 2022, with strategic initiatives and FDA-approved product launches driving revenue. Europe is expected to see the fastest growth, attributed to government regulations and key acquisitions such as Institut Straumann AG’s acquisition of PlusDental. The Asia Pacific region is poised to contribute significantly to the market revenue, fueled by the growing demand for clear aligners in countries such as India and China.
