Evident Report: Technology Drives Dental Lab Competitiveness in 2025
Evident's 2024 industry update reveals that digital technology and automation are key to success for dental labs, particularly larger operations.
Evident released its 2025 industry update, analyzing 2024 trends and providing insights for maintaining competitiveness in the dental lab sector. The report emphasizes that significant investments in technology and workflow digitalization are crucial for growth and profitability.
The analysis indicates that large lab operations in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, which rapidly adopted new technologies, experienced average growth ranging from 2% to 11%. Smaller laboratories, however, faced increasing costs and market pressures, leading to revenue declines in several regions.
Notably, the adoption of AI-powered tools, such as Evident's EviSmart platform, was reported to improve efficiency by 20-30%. This transformation reduced production hours and significantly lowered operating costs for Canadian labs by up to 25%.
According to the update, investing in technology that connects equipment and streamlines workflows is the critical differentiator between growth and decline. The report urges industry players to embrace digital solutions to ensure future success.
