DYM high-end dental equipment shares with you the prospects of Maoming dental market

1. Maoming population and GDP data (2024)

In 2024, Maoming’s GDP reached 407.204 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%, of which the added value of the secondary industry was 114.549 billion yuan (an increase of 4.4%), and the coverage rate of digital transformation of the manufacturing industry reached 76.56%. In terms of permanent population, the data at the end of 2021 was 6.2197 million. Combined with the population growth trend in recent years, the permanent population in 2024 is expected to exceed 6.3 million, and the urbanization rate is about 48%. As a major agricultural city in western Guangdong, Maoming’s fruit production has ranked among the top in the country for many years. Specialty agricultural products such as lychees and longans account for more than 15% of the national production, and the dietary structure is significantly related to oral health needs.

2. Maoming’s eating habits and oral health needs

Maoming’s diet is centered on Gaoliang cuisine, with both Cantonese and Hakka characteristics. Typical representatives include white-cut chicken, Huazhou beef offal, Fushan bean cake corners, glutinous rice products, and Huazhou sugar water. This type of diet contains a high proportion of sweets, fine pasta, and acidic ingredients, leading to prominent problems such as caries and periodontal disease. Although there is a lack of the latest local oral health data, referring to the situation in the neighboring city of Zhanjiang, the caries rate of deciduous teeth in 5-year-old children can reach 71.9%, and the periodontal health rate of adults aged 35-44 is only 9.1%. In recent years, with the increase in residents’ income (the per capita disposable income of all residents in 2024 is 30,520 yuan, an increase of 4.8%), high-end demands such as dental implants and invisible orthodontics have increased significantly, and young people’s attention to teeth whitening, aesthetic restoration, and orthodontics continues to rise.

3. Development prospects of the dental industry in Maoming

1. Policy-driven and market expansion

After the implementation of the national dental implant centralized procurement policy, the full-process cost of a single conventional dental implant in Maoming’s public medical institutions has dropped to less than 4,128 yuan, and private institutions have also reduced prices. In 2023, the number of dental implant surgeries will increase by more than 40% year-on-year. At the policy level, Maoming encourages social capital to enter the field of oral specialists. In 2024, more than 150 new oral medical institutions will be added, with private institutions accounting for more than 80%. With the advancement of the “Healthy Maoming 2030” plan, the target coverage rate of primary oral health screening has been increased to 85%, further releasing the demand for basic diagnosis and treatment.

2. Dental technology innovation and industrial linkage

Although Maoming does not have a large-scale oral medical device industry cluster, it actively introduces cutting-edge technologies. For example, Zhimei Oral Care introduced 3D digital implant guide technology, and the implant precision implantation rate reached 99.7%; the Western Guangdong Stomatological Hospital and Guangdong Medical University cooperated to carry out “digital orthodontic joint diagnosis and treatment”, shortening the treatment cycle by 20%. In addition, Maoming, Zhanjiang and Yangjiang jointly built the “Western Guangdong Oral Medical Alliance” to promote cross-regional technology sharing and talent training.

3. Competition in the dental industry and future development trends

The market presents a pattern of “public strong foundation and private mainstream”. Public institutions such as the Department of Stomatology of Maoming People’s Hospital dominate the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and severe diseases, and private chain brands such as Zhimei Oral and Western Guangdong Oral 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 oral clinics in the city. In the future, with the deepening of dental implant subsidy policies and the popularization of Internet medical care, Maoming is expected to become a hub for oral medical services in western Guangdong.

IV. Number of dental clinics and stomatological hospitals in Maoming

The total number of existing stomatological medical institutions in Maoming City exceeds 1,900, including more than 40 stomatological departments in public general hospitals, and private clinics account for more than 70%. Chain brands are widely distributed, such as Zhimei Dental, which has 3 branches in Maonan and Dianbai, and the Western Guangdong Stomatological Hospital covers core areas such as Huazhou and Gaozhou. It is worth noting that there is no public stomatological specialty hospital in Maoming, but the Stomatology Department of Maoming People’s Hospital, as a key department of a tertiary general hospital, undertakes most of the difficult and severe diagnosis and treatment tasks in the city.

V. Configuration of dental clinics and stomatological hospitals in Maoming

1. Public field: Stomatology Department of Maoming People’s Hospital

As the largest public stomatological diagnosis and treatment center in western Guangdong, the department is equipped with 28 dental chairs and 15 beds, serving more than 200,000 patients annually. The department has introduced a digital surgical navigation system, the scale of maxillofacial surgery is leading in the city, and the comprehensive business capabilities are close to provincial standards, especially in the fields of complex implants and maxillofacial tumor treatment.

2. Private sector: Maoming Zhimei Stomatological Hospital (Fortune General Hospital)

As the largest private dental hospital in Maoming, the hospital has a business area of ​​over 3,000 square meters, equipped with 20 dental chairs, German 3D printing systems, Italian cone beam CT and other equipment, providing full-chain services such as implants, orthodontics, and aesthetic restorations. The hospital introduced digital implant guide technology, shortening the operation time of a single implant to 10 minutes, and serving more than 50,000 patients annually, which is a benchmark for local private dental chains.

3. Technical benchmark: Western Guangdong Stomatological Hospital (Huazhou General Hospital)

The hospital is a secondary dental hospital with a construction area of ​​about 5,000 square meters. It has established 9 major dental centers and has completed more than 30,000 dental implant surgeries. The hospital is equipped with a micro-root canal treatment system and a digital invisible correction platform. Its “immediate load-bearing implant” technology has reached international standards, representing the high-end diagnosis and treatment capabilities of Maoming’s private dentistry.

It seems that the dental implant business in Maoming’s oral market has great prospects. There are many periodontal patients and elderly people, so there will be more good oral treatment projects, such as basic periodontal disease treatment, oral cleaning, root canal treatment, dental implants and other projects are basic oral treatment projects for the elderly. The elderly’s body is not so convenient, so dentists need to provide more personalized services when doing oral treatment projects for them. A good dental chair can make them more comfortable when lying down for treatment, because the elderly will be more nervous when receiving oral treatment. A good dental chair can make them get on and off the dental chair easily. Our dental chair takes into account that the elderly’s legs and feet are not so flexible in actual use. In terms of design, the lowest lowering chair position is lowered to 38CM low chair position. They can get on the dental chair freely without lifting their feet. The headrest is a professional headrest with a fixed shape and a hollow middle, so that they can fit close to the head without shaking back and forth to affect the treatment. The design of two armrests allows them to hold the armrests tightly during treatment to increase their sense of security. Generally, oral treatment projects take about 30 minutes. The waist support of our dental chair protrudes about 5MM, making the waist fit the chair more closely and not prone to vacancy. In this way, elderly patients are not prone to back pain. DYM dental chairs always follow the design principle of lying down for a long time without getting tired and allowing patients to receive comfortable treatment. Therefore, every dental chair shipped out of the factory is carefully made to the extreme. We believe that our dental chairs can serve more dentists and oral patients in Maoming dental clinics. We hope to help them achieve the goal of having 20 healthy teeth at the age of 80.

DYM has been manufacturing dental equipment for 18 years and has been continuously investing in research and development. In 2025, it will successively launch dental implant chairs with floor-standing designs, waterless drive negative pressure machines, low-temperature and high-illuminance LED light curing machines for filling teeth, and other dental equipment. We believe that more Maoming dental hospitals and dental clinics can use our latest developed dental equipment to assist dentists in working efficiently.
