Benefiting from the rapid increase in China’s urbanization rate, consumption has undergone a significant shift from “discretionary” to “essential” over the past four decades.

Data shows that the global dental device market size was approximately USD 34.3 billion in 2022, with basic devices accounting for about USD 16 billion (USD 9 billion for equipment and USD 7 billion for consumables). According to Coherent Market Insights, the global dental device market is projected to grow to USD 50.6 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2028, maintaining a relatively rapid growth rate.

The oral medical device industry is, at its core, an advanced manufacturing sector with the attributes of a national brand. China’s oral device market is undergoing rapid development, currently resembling the home appliance industry of 20 years ago and the automotive industry of 10 years ago. Driven by substantial market opportunities arising from both domestic demand and global expansion, the oral device sector is poised to become the next industry—following home appliances, mobile phones, and automobiles—to cultivate globally recognized national brand enterprises.

Among them,Dental handpieces, as high-frequency and essential instruments for oral treatment, are undergoing an industry-wide upgrade from air-driven to electric handpieces.

Dental handpieces are the core instruments at the treatment end, with the global market size expected to exceed RMB 10 billion. They feature high demand but low penetration of new products. Due to their low torque, dependence on an air supply, and poor stability, pneumatic handpieces require dentists to accumulate extensive operational experience over a long period and suffer from drawbacks such as insufficient precision in tooth preparation. In contrast, electric handpieces offer high torque, stable and consistent output, and broad clinical applicability. They have already become mainstream in mature markets such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, while their penetration rate in China is still in its early stages, with a gradually increasing share.

Jinme Medical focuses on minimally invasive dental instruments, adheres to independent research and development, and is committed to leading the digital development of precision dental equipment. Currently,The company has a complete portfolio of pneumatic and electric handpieces., dozens of SKUs to meet all clinical needs, and90% of core components are independently developed, with over 65 patents, leading the industry.
