Guangzhou, China: Dental South China 2024, taking place from March 3 to 6, 2024, presents an opportunity to tap into the burgeoning Chinese dental market. With an expanding dentist-to-population ratio and a growing demand for dental equipment and materials, this exhibition promises a gateway to success in a dynamic industry.

In a rapidly evolving dental landscape, China has witnessed exponential growth in the field of stomatology dentistry, reflecting the country’s robust economic development. With a population of 1.4 billion, China currently boasts 110,000 dentists and an equal number of dental lab technicians, signifying a remarkable transformation since 1985 when the ratio of dentists to the total population was 1:100,000. This growth trajectory, now at 1:13,000 in 2010, underscores the increasing importance of oral health care in China.

Bridging the Gap in Dental Care

While the dental profession has seen remarkable growth, compared to developed regions like Europe, America, and Japan, where the dentist-to-population ratio stands at 1:1000-2000, China still faces a considerable gap. To meet the dental care needs of the Chinese population, the country aspires to reduce the ratio to 1 dentist for every 4000-5000 persons by 2030. Achieving this goal will require a fivefold expansion of stomatological hospitals and clinics over the next 10-20 years, presenting immense opportunities for dental professionals and stakeholders.

Surge in Demand for Dental Equipment and Materials

As Chinese stomatology dentistry advances and living standards improve, expectations for medical techniques and services continue to rise. This has led to an unprecedented demand for high-quality dental equipment and materials. A national dental disease survey reveals that over 97% of Chinese people suffer from dental issues, with approximately 50% of adults grappling with periodontal diseases and a 37% incidence rate of decayed teeth. 

With an estimated 1 billion decayed teeth among the population, the Chinese dental market is ripe with business opportunities.

The Dental South China International Expo (DSC): Your Gateway to Success

Dental South China International Expo (DSC) stands as China’s pioneering dental exhibition, having commenced in March 1995. With 28 years of dedicated efforts, the 28th DSC in 2023 witnessed an impressive exhibition area of 55,000 square meters, attracting 62,783 professional visitors. Featuring 2,458 booths and 832 leading exhibitors from 18 countries and regions, DSC is hailed as the largest, most influential dental event in China and Asia, known for its exemplary service.

Academic Excellence

DSC not only showcases a diverse range of dental products but also offers dental professionals access to high-level academic and technical seminars. In 2023, the expo hosted 221 academic seminars covering various dental branches, with over 300 renowned experts sharing cutting-edge research, clinical techniques, advanced equipment applications, and efficient clinic management methods. High-profile conferences such as the “China Stomatological Hospital Development Forum” have gained significant recognition, providing comprehensive industry insights.

Guangdong Province: A Hub of Economic Potential

Situated in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, DSC benefits from the province’s robust economy and status as the largest trade and consumption center for dental products in China. With a population exceeding 100 million in Guangdong and over 400 million in South China, the region’s rapid development has led to a growing demand for medium and high-class dental products. Guangzhou’s dynamic exhibition industry, exemplified by the renowned China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), further enhances DSC’s appeal.

Gateway to the World

Guangzhou, a historically significant port for foreign trade, remains a vital gateway to China’s thriving dental market. Its proximity to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia has fostered strong trade relations with these regions. As China has become a leading supplier of medical equipment in Southeast Asia, Guangzhou’s unique geographic advantage positions DSC as the preferred choice for exhibitors and dental professionals seeking to explore the Chinese market.

Manufacturing Hub for Dental Equipment

Guangdong’s prominence as China’s largest dental equipment manufacturing base ensures that DSC showcases an array of dental products. Whether it’s advanced imported dental equipment or competitively priced Chinese alternatives, the expo caters to diverse preferences. With over 40% of China’s dental equipment manufactured in Guangdong, attendees can expect a comprehensive array of products.

World-Class Exhibition Facilities

China Import and Export Fair Pazhou Complex, where DSC is hosted, ranks as the world’s third-largest and Asia’s largest exhibition center, boasting an expansive 330,000 square meters of exhibition space. This multi-functional, high-standard international conference and exhibition center elevates the DSC experience, providing attendees with a world-class platform.
