Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the Spanish market for modelling pastes, dental waxes, and plaster-base dentistry preparations experienced significant volume fluctuations. After reaching 9.8 thousand tonnes in 2019, market volume dipped in 2020 before surging by over 35% to 12.4 thousand tonnes in 2021. A subsequent contraction brought the market down to 7.2 thousand tonnes by 2023.

This growth in exports, facilitated by stronger international market access and potentially expanded activity from export players, reduced product availability for the local market.
