Segmentation
The global invisible orthodontics market outlook is segmented by product type, age group, and application.
By product type, it is segmented into clear retainers, clear aligners, and braces. Clear aligners are further segmented into soft, hard, and medium. Among them, the clear aligners segment held the lion’s share in 2018 and will continue to dominate due to launch of similar products by key companies. On the other hand, braces are predicted to exhibit a robust growth rate during the forecast period due to awareness campaigns of key companies.
By age group, it is segmented into above 35, 16-35, and below 15. The 16-35 segment is pegged to grow at an accelerated pace owing to majority of customers belonging to this demographic. Rising cases of dental disorders and change in lifestyles can influence the segment growth in the global invisible orthodontics market. However, the above 35 and below 15 segments can generate significant revenue during the forecast period.
By application, it is segmented into malocclusion, abnormal eruptions, excessive spacing, crowding, and others. ‘Others’ comprise overjets, underbites, and others. Excessive spacing had held a large market share in 2018 due to awareness of spacing and corrective measures taken by patients to prevent further proper functioning. On the flip side, malocclusion can generate revenue the fastest owing to increasing cases of openbites and crossbites.
Regional Analysis
Geographically, the global market is segmented into the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA).
Americas was the largest regional market in 2018, due to constant acquisitions and mergers among prominent players in countries in the Americas.

Europe held the second largest share owing to increasing support from regulatory authorities and a wide connected distributor network. On the other hand, APAC is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region in the global invisible orthodontics market.
