Dental Imaging Market Size – By Product (Extraoral X-Ray 2D Imaging Equipment, CBCT Equipment, Intraoral X-Ray Devices, Intraoral Cameras, Intraoral Scanners), By Method (Intraoral Imaging Systems, Extraoral Imaging Systems), By End-Use – Global Forecast to 2032

Dental imaging Market Size

Dental Imaging Market size was valued at over USD 3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach more than USD 7 billion by 2032. Dental imaging refers to the use of various imaging techniques to capture detailed images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding oral structures for diagnostic and treatment purposes. It is an essential part of dental care and plays a crucial role in identifying dental problems, planning treatments, and monitoring oral health.
 

The growing prevalence of dental ailments such as dental caries (tooth decay), periodontal disorders, tooth loss, and oral cancers is propelling market forward. For instance, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 514 million children worldwide suffer from primary tooth decay, whereas 2 billion adults suffer from caries of the permanent teeth. Oral illnesses affect about 3.5 billion people worldwide. Therefore, growing prevalence of dental disease requires an oral health education, accessible dental care services, promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, and public health initiatives aimed at improving overall oral health awareness.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the dental imaging market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many non-essential dental treatments were postponed or delayed in order to reduce the danger of viral transmission. Only emergency situations and traumatic dental injuries were handled. As a result, there was a decrease in demand for dental imaging. In addition, interruptions in the global supply chain resulted in decreased and delayed availability of medical equipment, which contributed to the price increase.  Furthermore, the pandemic increased the use of tele dentistry and remote consultations as a substitute to in-person appointments. The decreased necessity for imaging in remote consultations influenced the demand for imaging equipment.
 

Dental imaging Market Trends

The demand for cosmetic dentistry has been increasing in recent years owing to increased emphasis on physical appearance, including a desire for a beautiful smile. People are more conscious of their dental appearance and seek cosmetic dentistry procedures to enhance the aesthetics. Moreover, cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, dental veneers, and orthodontic treatments can help individuals achieve a more youthful smile, that contributes to the increasing demand for these services. Many people see cosmetic dentistry as a way to improve their self-esteem and feel more confident in social and professional settings. This has led to a growing demand for dental imaging and is estimated to continue driving the market size.
 

Dental Imaging Market Analysis

Based on the product, the dental imaging market is segmented into extraoral x-ray 2D imaging equipment, CBCT equipment, intraoral x-ray devices, intraoral cameras, intraoral scanners, and others. The intraoral scanners segment held the highest CAGR of 8.1% and is estimated to witness significant growth by 2032. Intraoral scanners have significantly improved in terms of accuracy, speed, and ease of use due to advancements in technology. These scanners offer a more comfortable and less invasive alternative to traditional impression methods, such as using dental putty. Patients often find the scanning process more tolerable, as it eliminates the discomfort and gag reflex associated with traditional impressions.
 

Based on method, the dental imaging market is bifurcated into intraoral imaging systems and extraoral imaging systems. The intraoral imaging systems is anticipated to witness highest CAGR at 7.8% during the forecast period. The growing need for intraoral imaging systems is anticipated to propel the dental imaging industry forward. They provide reliable identification of dental problems. Furthermore, intraoral imaging systems are cost effective and have low cost in terms of operation and maintenance. Therefore, such benefits offered by intraoral imaging system method type will spur the segment outlook.
 

Dental imaging market is bifurcated based on the end-use including hospitals, dental clinics, dental diagnostic centres and others. The hospitals segment is anticipated to grow over USD 2 billion by 2032. The hospitals segment is anticipated to hold high growth potential during the analysis period. High segment growth is attributable to increased awareness among patients who attend regular checks, especially in rising geriatric population. An increase in the need for rapid and accurate patient diagnosis & treatment planning will contribute considerably towards adoption of dental imaging in hospitals thereby leading to segmental growth.
 

U.S. dental imaging market accounted for more than USD 1 billion in 2022 and will grow momentously more than USD 2 billion by 2032. The dental imaging industry has witnessed continuous technological advancements, such as the development of digital radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and intraoral scanners. These advanced imaging modalities offer improved image quality, faster image acquisition, lower radiation exposure, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities. This has led to an increased demand for dental imaging in the U.S. Also, growing awareness among the general population base about the importance of oral health and preventive dental care will further stimulate market share.
