Dental Imaging Market

Dental Imaging Market Outlook (2022-2032)

The global dental imaging market was valued at US$ 2.6 Bn in 2021 and is estimated to touch US$ 7 Bn by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2022 to 2032 (forecast period).

The United States is likely to account for the largest share of the worldwide dental imaging market over the decade.

Dental imaging is a process of creation of high-quality images for the diagnosis of dental problems. Dental imaging technologies help dentists to diagnose dental diseases by providing actual and visual images of dental problems such as hidden dental structure, cavities, bone loss, and oral malignant melanoma.

Radiography is a valuable imaging modality and diagnostic tool that helps in the clinical examination of dental problems. Radiographs are developed with image sensor technologies such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), panoramic, cephalometric, and intra-oral dental imaging.

Dental cone beam computed tomography is a special type of dental X-ray machine, which is used instead of regular dental or facial X-rays. Technological advancements in dental imaging technologies and the growing elderly population are some of the major factors driving the growth of the dental imaging market. Some of the major digital dental imaging techniques include intra-oral radiography, panoramic radiography, cephalometric radiography, tomography, intra-oral photography, extra-oral photography, and surgical microscopy.

The dental imaging market in Asia is also expected to experience high growth in the next few years. This is due to the rising awareness among the people about various dental problems and their treatment, increasing disposable income, and developing health care infrastructure in the region. In addition, growing demographics and economies in developing countries such as India and China, are expected to lead to a rise in the dental imaging market in Asia.

Technological advancements in dental imaging methodologies, rising demand for imaging modalities in oral disease treatments, increasing prevalence of dental diseases, growing elderly population, increasing need for efficiency and effectiveness in medical procedures, and rise in research activities in the imaging technologies field are some of the major drivers for the global dental imaging market.

In addition, the increasing adoption of medical imaging technologies in dentistry and rising awareness about innovative applications of dental imaging technologies are supporting the growth of the market. However, the high cost of digital dental radiography systems, lack of dental laboratory technicians, and non-reimbursement for dental care inhibit the growth of the dental imaging market.

What Aspects are Supporting Global Dental Imaging Market Expansion?

“Rising Incidence of Dental Disorders across the World”

Rising incidence of dental disorders is a major factor projected to boost the global dental imaging market during the forecast period.

• According to Better Oral Health in Europe, over half of the European population had periodontitis, with the frequency growing to 75 to 90% among individuals aged 50 to 65.
• According to the Australian Commonwealth, one in every 20 persons will lose all of their natural teeth by 2025.

As a result, the population's need for dental services is steadily rising, raising the sales of the dental imaging market.

Moreover, the number of dental appointments has increased in recent years. This is due to a spike in the occurrence of oral cavities and other dental disorders over the last decade, as well as increased knowledge about oral care and hygiene.

Furthermore, changes in diet, such as the intake of fast foods and foods high in sugar content, have contributed to an increase in oral ailments.

• According to the National Center for Health Statistics, approximately 60% of the population over the age of 20 visit dental practices in the United States.

Such aspects are expected to propel the global dental imaging market during the forecast period.

“High Demand for Cosmetic Dentistry”

The high demand for cosmetic dentistry is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global dental imaging market during the forecast period.

• The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) estimates that the United States spends over USD 2.75 billion on cosmetic dentistry annually.

Moreover, the growing emphasis on aesthetics and appearance is likely to increase the demand for cosmetic dentistry, bolstering the global dental imaging market growth.

North America to Spearhead Global Market Growth

The dental imaging market in North America is expected to experience substantial growth during the forecast period due to the rising frequency of dental issues. The United States is anticipated to be the largest revenue generator in the dental imaging market in North America.

• According to the American Dental Association, in 2020, around 6 million seniors aged 60 to 75 in the United States had complete tooth loss, with roughly 2 million edentulous.

Tooth loss is more prevalent in the elderly. This is due to the fact that 90% of adults aged 50 to 65 have dental cavities, with a staggering 28% of them being undetected.

These factors are estimated to accelerate the growth of the dental imaging market in North America.

Market Competition

Increasing number of mergers and acquisitions and rapid product launches are some of the latest trends observed in the global dental imaging market. Some of the major companies operating in the global dental imaging market are Danaher Corporation, Carestream Health, Inc., Dentsply International Inc., LED Medical Diagnostics Inc., Yoshida Dental Mfg. Co., Ltd., Sirona Dental Systems, Inc., Planmeca Oy, Midmark Corporation, Vatech Co., Ltd., and FLOW Dental Corporation.
