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.
