Dental Marketing in Wilmington, DE

The Wilmington dental market is anchored by ChristianaCare Health System workforce, DuPont and Chemours legacy workforce, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase banking workforce, University of Delaware academic community (in adjacent Newark Delaware), corporate legal workforce, and distinct submarkets from Greenville and Hockessin through Centreville, Chadds Ford Pennsylvania, and North Wilmington. Competitive density is moderate.

Wilmington is anchored by ChristianaCare Health System (the largest private employer in Delaware and dominant regional academic medical system), DuPont legacy operations (chemical and materials science historically headquartered in Wilmington, split into DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva Agriscience), Bank of America Delaware (one of the largest BoA sites due to Delaware's consumer credit law), JPMorgan Chase Delaware, M T Bank, Discover Financial Services, Delaware state government, the University of Delaware in adjacent Newark Delaware, Delaware State University HBCU in Dover, and a significant banking, chemical, pharmaceutical, and corporate legal services economy (Delaware is the legal domicile of more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies).
