The Japan dental endodontics market was valued at approximately USD 108.8 million in 2023 and is forecast to rise to around USD 151 million by 2030, growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.8% between 2023 and 2030 . A complementary analysis focused specifically on endodontic devices puts the 2024 market at USD 104.7 million, with an expected jump to USD 148.4 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6% in the 2025–2030 period.
