The density of dentist graduates in Japan from 2024 to 2028 remains stable, with minor annual increases from 1.71 in 2024 to 1.72 per hundred thousand persons by 2025, and it stays consistent through 2028. Compared to 2023, where the density was slightly lower, the modest rise represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.58%. The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period indicates a slow but steady upward trend, averaging around 0.23% annually.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from demographic shifts in Japan’s population that could influence the demand for dental services. Additionally, changes in educational policies and healthcare innovations may alter the rate of dentist graduates in the long term.
