Growing number of dental disorders coupled with rising oral awareness will stimulate dental practice management software (DPMS) market growth over the forthcoming period. The State of Oral Health in Europe recommends policies to improve the oral health of European population. It forecasts that more than 50% of the European population aged between 60 and 65 years may suffer from some or the other form of periodontitis and over 10% may suffer from severe disease. Thus, rising number of initiatives undertaken by the regional bodies to ensure proper oral care should escalate the demand for dental treatment, thereby increasing the adoption of DPMS across the region.

Increasing government and venture capital funding for DPMS will favour industry growth. Rise in governmental support assists in emergence of newer technologies. It also helps in development of healthcare infrastructure. For instance, the funding available for dentistry in France is 60%. Similarly, the Keating Government launched a Commonwealth Dental Health Program that offered additional funding to territories and states for public dental services for those with low income. Such factors will propel dental practice management software market growth.

Scheduling segment accounted for USD 65.0 million market size in 2017. Scheduling supports the dentist to schedule dental check-ups for patients and hence is an indispensable part of the software. Effective scheduling improves productivity of the dentists. Aforementioned advantages will spur segmental growth in upcoming years.

Cloud-based DPMS segment is poised to grow at robust 13.6% CAGR over the forecast timeframe. This delivery mode considerably reduces costs and lowers the risk of data theft. Benefits of cloud-based software including automatic data back-up and update, access at multiple locations, hardware diversity and other benefits will favor segment growth over the coming years.

Germany dental practice management software market accounted for 21.3% market share in 2017. High market size is attributable to growing geriatric patient pool coupled with increasing cases of dental disorders.

Periodontal diseases and dental caries form a major part of dental disorders, thereby increasing demand for dental treatment. In addition, rising funding provided for dental care will stimulate Germany market growth over the coming years.
