Dentsply Sirona

Formed from the merger of Dentsply and Sirona to become one of the largest dental suppliers in the world. Significant consolidation in the dental supply industry in recent years, especially in the US, as companies face difficulty growing net income as the market has matured, resulting in growth rates of only 1-2% and more or less flat profit.

The dental supplies market is 70% consumables, 20 capital equipment and 10% other (such as software). Major players are Danahar Group (which itself recently bought Nobel Biocare), Straumann, ImplantsDirect, and a host of low cost Asia based entrants. Within this mix, Dentsply Sirona sell a mixture of capital equipment (such as dental chairs) and all in one implants and abutments.
