DYM’s slim waist floor-standing dental chair shares with you the development trend of oral dentistry in Foshan

I. Foshan population and GDP data (2024)

Foshan’s permanent population will reach 9.6989 million at the end of 2024, and its GDP will be 1,336.19 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.3%. As an important node city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Foshan is based on manufacturing and actively develops the pharmaceutical and health industry. Its oral medical device industry ranks first in the country, providing solid support for the development of the dental industry.

II. Foshan people’s eating habits and oral health needs

Foshan’s food culture is centered on Cantonese cuisine, focusing on the original flavor of ingredients and fine cooking. Dim sum such as shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and rice noodle rolls in the morning tea culture are very popular. At the same time, local specialties such as Foshan fish skin and double skin milk are consumed frequently. This dietary structure leads to a high incidence of oral problems such as caries and periodontal disease. Data shows that the dental disease rate of Foshan residents is as high as 97.14%, and there are nearly 3.2754 million caries patients, with an average of 2.67 caries per person. In recent years, with the improvement of health awareness, the demand for high-end services such as dental implants and invisible orthodontics has increased significantly, and the young group’s attention to teeth whitening and aesthetic restoration has continued to rise.

III. Development prospects of Foshan dental industry

1. Industrial foundation and policy support

Foshan is the only professional oral medical equipment industry base in China, with an annual output of dental chairs accounting for more than 70% of the country and dental mobile phones accounting for more than 90% of the country. The “Southern Dental Valley” project launched in 2024 focuses on the research and development, transformation, production and application of oral instruments, and plans to create an industrial ecological chain integrating “research and development – transformation – production – clinical application”, which is expected to drive the development of a 100 billion-level medical and health industry cluster. At the policy level, the “Implementation Opinions on Supporting Social Forces to Provide Multi-level and Diversified Medical Services in Foshan” clearly encourages social capital to enter the field of oral specialties, and by 2025, the proportion of diagnosis and treatment services of social medical institutions will reach 25%.

2. Foshan dental market demand and technological innovation

Foshan’s oral medical market presents the characteristics of “high incidence and low consultation rate”. The caries rate of permanent teeth in adults aged 35-74 is 78.94%, but the proportion of those who have not seen a dentist for more than one year exceeds 50%. With the implementation of the centralized procurement policy for dental implants (the cost of a single implant has been reduced to about 7,000 yuan) and the popularization of digital technology (such as 3D implant guides and robot dental implants), market demand is accelerating. In 2024, the output value of the oral medical device industry in Shishan Town will reach 612 million yuan, and the output value of the rehabilitation auxiliary equipment industry will reach 2.797 billion yuan, highlighting the growth potential of the industry.

3. Competition and development trends in the dental market in Foshan

The dental market in Foshan presents a pattern of “strong public foundation and private mainstream”. Public institutions such as Foshan Stomatological Hospital (Grade 3 Class A) dominate the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and severe diseases, while private chain brands such as Delun Dental (5 branches) and Zesen Dental seize the mid-end market through standardized services. Industry competition has shifted from price to technology and service. The coverage rate of digital diagnosis and treatment has exceeded 60%. Synchronous dental institutions and other institutions have introduced dental implant robots, and the operation time for a single implant has been shortened to 10 minutes.

IV. Number of dental clinics and oral hospitals

The total number of existing oral medical institutions in Foshan City exceeds 1,800, of which the Foshan Municipal Stomatological Hospital is the core of public oral specialty hospitals, and private institutions account for more than 70%. Chain brands are widely distributed, such as Delun Dental, which has 5 branches in Nanhai and Shunde, and Synchronous Dental and Suihua Dental, which cover major areas of the city. It is worth noting that Shishan Town, as a gathering place for the oral medical device industry, has 117 related companies, forming a complete industrial chain from equipment production to clinical application.
