Global tongue retaining device market is estimated to be valued at USD 578.8 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The tongue retaining device market has been gaining significant traction in the recent years. A tongue retaining device, also known as a tongue depressor or tongue blade, is a medical device used to depress the tongue and examine the mouth and throat during a medical examination. It allows doctors to visually inspect the mouth, throat, and tongue to check for any signs of infection, ulcers, or abnormalities. Advances in material sciences have led to the development of tongue retaining devices made of lighter and more durable materials like plastic instead of the conventional wood. This has made them safer and more comfortable for patients. Furthermore, the growing prevalence of oral diseases and rising number of dental check-ups are expected to boost the demand for tongue retaining devices in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global tongue retaining device market growth is driven by the increasing incidence of oral diseases, rising dental expenditure, and growing awareness about oral healthcare. This has significantly increased the number of dental check-ups and examinations done annually. Moreover, technological advancements in materials used for manufacturing tongue retainers have made them lighter, safer, and easy-to-use. However, availability of cheaper substitutes and lack of awareness in low-income countries are expected to restrain the market growth. The introduction of 3D printed tongue retainers providing better ergonomics and design flexibility presents new opportunities.
