Dental Imaging Market

Dental Imaging Market Overview:

The global Dental Imaging Market was valued at USD 3.69 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 6.58 Bn by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.6% from 2024-2030. The dental imaging market include a wide range of technologies and equipment to capture detailed images in order to monitor dental conditions and diseases. These imaging tools include computed tomography (CT) scans, intraoral cameras, radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and others. These imaging tools are important for dentists and specialists in diagnosing various dental conditions, planning treatment strategies, and monitoring the growth of oral health progression over time. Thus, the continuous advancements in dental imaging technologies aim to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and patient experience in the field of dentistry.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The increasing instances of oral diseases such as caries, periodontal diseases and oral cancer among others increases the demand for more sophisticated diagnostic tools including dental imaging which drives the market growth.

These instruments help in treatment planning and early intervention that increases the quality of patients’ lives and improves overall oral health. A report from WHO March 2023 stated, almost 3.5 billion people globally suffers from oral disease with about three-quarters of the affected population living in middle-income countries.

Approximately about two billion people suffers from permanent teeth caries while 514 million children suffer from caries affecting their deciduous teeth. Thus, the healthcare providers search for more accurate and efficient diagnostic solutions, resulting in increasing demand for innovative dental imaging technologies significantly boosting the market growth.

Moreover, the dental imaging market is also growing with the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry and the desire for elegant smile makeovers. This increasing trend in the demand of cosmetic procedures such as orthodontic treatments, veneers, teeth whitening led many dental practitioners to seek for advanced imaging technologies including dental imaging to facilitate accurate diagnoses and planning of these operations.

For instances, in May 2022, Asana Smiles collaborated with Align Technology a company that designs, manufactures and sells Invisalign system of clear aligners and iTero intraoral scanners. The objective of this collaboration is to improve efficiency of practice and patient care among Invisalign-trained dental and orthodontic practices within America through the use of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant features embedded in Asana Smiles for Align workflow.

Furthermore, the rising use of dental imaging technologies due to the introduction of imaging systems such as the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral per scanner, and panoramic X-ray scanners helps in providing more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

For instance, Midmark Corp, in September, 2022, launched Midmark Extra Oral Imaging System (EOIS) product that features 2D panoramic with 3D Cone-beam Computed Tomography Systems (CBCT) imaging X-Ray devices and a Cephalometric add on.

This technological upgrade provides imaging capabilities that facilitates assess and identify issues in the patients such as frank fracture, missed canal, bone and TMJ anomaly and nerve path, through increased visualization.

However, the operational and maintenance costs of these advanced imaging tools add significant financial burden to dental practices. The high cost of these advanced imaging technologies limits their adoption, especially among the independent practitioners thereby restraining the market growth.

On the contrary, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered diagnostics are expected to create ample future opportunities in dental imaging by enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic processes. Thus, with the integration of AI, machines will be able to examine dental images with higher level of precision than human eye and diagnose diseases and unusual signs that are unnoticed.

For instance, in May 2024, Vatech enhanced its AI capabilities in dental diagnostic segment through collaborative effort with Ewoosoft and Eyes of AI. The company aims to enhance the efficiency of 3D dental segmentation technology through employing CBCT data and also through applying AI for steps such as creation of virtual patients and identification of diseases including dental caries and tumors.

Market Segmentation and Scope of Study

The dental imaging market report is segmented on the basis of product type, application, end users and region. On the basis of product type, the market is divided into extra oral imaging systems and intra oral imaging systems. On the basis of extra oral imaging system, the market is further divided into panoramic radiology, cephalometric radiography, and 3D CBCT system. Based on intra oral imaging system the market is again divided into Intra oral scanners, intra oral x-ray systems, intra oral sensors, intra oral PSP system, and intra oral cameras. Based on application the market is divided into implantology, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders, periodontics, forensic dentistry, and others. Based on end users the market is divided into dental hospitals and clinics, dental diagnostic centers, dental academic and research institutes. Geographic breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments includes regions comprising of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis

North America dominates the dental imaging market share and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing number of the aging population with oral health problems including tooth loss, cracking, gum diseases, among others. According to the report published by the World Health Organization, in October 2022, the number of people above 60 years was 1. 4 billion in 2020, which is expected to rise to 2. 1 billion by 2050.

Thus, the rising demand for dental services increases with the prevalence of the elderly sector, which requires applying a more sophisticated imaging technique for diagnostics and treatment of various dental conditions, which in its turn contributes to the heightened use of dental imaging equipment and applications in the region.

Moreover, the rise in the occurrence of dental problems, especially in developed nations including the U.S. and Canada with escalating rates of diseases such as dental caries, periodontal diseases and oral cancer further fuels the need for use of enhanced diagnostic technologies for early diagnosis and management.

According to a report published by National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIH), in 2022, tooth decay impacts 90 percent of adults below 20 – 64 years of age, while gum disease impacts approximate 48.2 percent of adults within the age range of 45 – 64 years within America. Such a gradual rise in dental concerns describes a rapid demand for improved imaging techniques that, in turn, driving the market growth.

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is considered fastest growing region in this sector owing to the number of technological innovations including the use of artificial intelligence that assist in image interpretation to enhance quick and accurate diagnoses for optimum patient results. For instance, in February 2023, Guangdong Launca Medical Device Technology Co., Ltd. launches its Launca intraoral scanner, equipped with AI features.

This new scanner improves the quality of intraoral images, which contributes to comprehensive diagnoses and allows clinicians to provide more accurate treatment plans with higher efficiency and accuracy. Also, the involvement of leading market players such as Vatech and Imagoworks, through their experience, innovative system, along with the organisation’s vast distribution network is fueling the dental imaging market trends in Asia-Pacific.

For instance, in April 2023, Imagoworks launched Dentbird Crown, an AI-based dental Computer Aided Manufacturing CAD system in Japan. The crown design system in this innovative tool enhances the work flow without the need of installation and no any initial investments, thus making it accessible to dental professionals globally. herefore, these aspects demonstrate the dynamic advancement and continuous enhancement in the market in Asia Pacific.
