DYM low temperature and high illumination LED light curing machine shares with you the prospects of Dongguan dental industry

I. Dongguan population and GDP data (2024)

According to statistics, the permanent population will reach 10.5708 million at the end of 2024, and the total GDP will be 1,228.215 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. As the “world factory”, Dongguan has a strong manufacturing foundation and actively deploys the medical and health industry. Its oral medical device industry ranks among the top in the country. Modern Dental Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. and other companies provide hardware support for the development of the industry.

II. Dongguan’s eating habits and oral health needs

Dongguan’s food culture is centered on Cantonese cuisine and has the diverse characteristics of an immigrant city. Local specialties such as roast goose rice noodles, Houjie sausages and other salty and fresh flavors and sweets such as lychees and double skin milk have a high frequency of consumption, leading to prominent problems such as caries and periodontal disease. Data shows that the caries rate of 12-year-old children in Dongguan is 50%, the periodontal health rate of adults aged 35-44 is only 9.1%, and the daily consumption of sugary foods exceeds 60%. Young people have a strong demand for cosmetic restorations such as invisible orthodontics and teeth whitening. After the implementation of the centralized procurement policy for dental implants, the cost per tooth dropped to around 7,000 yuan, significantly stimulating the mid- to high-end market.

III. Development prospects of Dongguan dental industry

1. Market size and technological innovation

The market size of Dongguan oral medical care is expected to grow from 2 billion yuan in 2020 to 4 billion yuan in 2025, with an average annual growth rate of about 10%. After the implementation of the centralized procurement policy for dental implants, the number of dental implant surgeries in the city will increase by 46% year-on-year in 2024, and the penetration rate of digital technology (such as 3D implant guides and robotic dental implants) will exceed 60%. Institutions such as Gude Dental have introduced dental implant robots, shortening the time for a single implant surgery to 10 minutes, and the implant precision implant rate has reached 99.7%.

The low-temperature and high-intensity LED light curing machine newly launched by Duoyimei in 2025 has a compact aluminum alloy body and a high-efficiency electronic design. Under the working light intensity of 3000 degrees, the heat is very low, and it can achieve rapid tooth filling within 1 second, assisting dentists to quickly help oral patients with tooth filling and orthodontics, greatly improving their work efficiency and customer experience.

2. Policy and industry support

The government has promoted the expansion of the industry through policies such as simplifying clinic registration and encouraging social medical services. In 2024, there will be more than 150 new dental medical institutions, of which private institutions account for more than 80%. Dongguan Songshan Lake has gathered leading companies such as Modern Dental Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., forming a complete industrial chain from equipment production to clinical application, and the annual output of dental chairs accounts for more than 70% of the country.

3. Competition pattern and trend

The market presents a pattern of “public strong foundation and private mainstream”. Public institutions such as the Department of Stomatology of Dongguan People’s Hospital dominate the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and severe diseases, while private chain brands such as Synchronous Dental (4 branches) and Gude Dental (8 branches) seize the mid-end market through standardized services. Industry competition has shifted from price to technology and service. In 2024, the coverage rate of digital diagnosis and treatment has exceeded 60% among the more than 1,900 dental treatment institutions in the city.

IV. Distribution of dental clinics and large dental hospitals in Dongguan

The total number of existing dental medical institutions in Dongguan exceeds 1,948, including more than 40 dental departments in public general hospitals, and private clinics account for more than 70%. Chain brands are widely distributed, such as Synchronous Dental, which has 4 branches in Nancheng and Chang’an, and Gude Dental, which covers 8 major areas in the city. Emerging areas such as Bao’an District and Tangxia Town have become the focus of expansion. It is worth noting that Dongguan does not have a public dental specialty hospital yet, and is currently promoting the transformation and upgrading of town and street hospitals into public dental hospitals.
