Sales Analysis of Dental Diagnostic Imaging Equipment from 2016 to 2020 Vs Demand Outlook for 2021 to 2031

As per Fact.MR - a market research and competitive intelligence provider, market growth in terms of CAGR from 2016 to 2020 for dental diagnostic imaging equipment was 5.7%. The global market is further projected to top US$ 3 Billion by 2031.

Market growth is largely driven by technological advancements in dentistry, increasing number of dental practices, rising dental expenditure, growing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and rising incidence of dental diseases worldwide.

Growing awareness about dental healthcare has led to rising demand for proper healthcare systems with upgraded devices. Dental imaging is a technology used to visualize hidden dental structures, benign or malignant masses, cavities, bone masses, and other damages that cannot be viewed through normal check-ups.

Some of the equipment used in dental imaging include intraoral X-ray systems, intraoral plate scanner, intraoral sensors, intraoral phosphor, storage plates, extraoral X-ray systems, panoramic X-ray systems, cephalometric projections systems, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, and intraoral cameras.

This imaging equipment helps shorten recovery time for a patient and also results in less pain when compared to earlier methods of diagnosing dental problems.These new techniques have helped in better examination of complex facial structures and early diagnosis of dental diseases.

This equipment provides a 3D image of the patient's jaw to get precise knowledge of the problem before the surgery is performed, and helps in safe and better treatment outcomes.

Various governments across the world are currently focusing on dental care and are investing in oral healthcare advancements. For example, on 19 January 2018, The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) started use of the Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan facility that would help dental surgeons in increasing the efficiency of their dental surgeries.

It is owing to these reasons that demand for dental diagnostic imaging equipment is expected to rise further over the coming years.

What are the Key Opportunities Awaiting Dental Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Manufactures?

Over the past decade, due to growing unhealthy lifestyle habits such as excessive intake of starchy junk food, alcohol, sweetened soft drinks, and smoking, which are prevalent among young adults, occurrences of dental diseases rapidly increased.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide, and nearly 10% of the global population suffers from severe periodontal diseases. It is owing to this concerning rise in dental problems that people are focusing on dental treatment more than ever before.

Adoption of optical imaging technique instead of conventional anatomical imaging methods such as, visual observation, dental radiography, and X-ray computed tomography (CT) is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global dental imaging equipment market.

Mesoscopic fluorescence molecular tomography (MFMT) is an emerging optical imaging technique that can be used to retrieve molecular contrast in dental samples. MFMT can retrieve molecular contrast in 3D in highly scattering tissues.

Moreover, generative noise reduction in CBCT is also expected to boost growth of the market. For instance, in November 2019, researchers from Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology reported development of a selective anatomy analytic iteration reconstruction algorithms to reduce generative noise in CBCT.

What are the Restraints being Encountered by Dental Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Providers?

Lack of consumer awareness on the available dental diagnostic imaging equipment in many developing economies is restraining market growth.

People in many developing countries tend to neglect dental problems due to lack of awareness. This attitude affects the health and also the growth of the dental diagnostic imaging equipment market, as the use and procurement of these devices is affected negatively.

High cost of dental imaging equipment for initial set up is expected to hinder growth of the market. Moreover, some equipment such phosphor storage plates are prone to damage and require regular replacement. This, in turn, increases cost. Low lifespan of accessories used is also expected to hinder growth of the market.

Various governments are imposing stringent regulations for manufacturing of dental imaging equipment. In order to ensure safety of the patients and minimising damage caused by exposure to radiation.

For example, FDA's Centre for devices and radiological health (CDRH) regulates manufacturing of medical devices such as, radiation-emitting electronic lasers, X-ray systems, and ultrasound equipment in the U.S.

The FDA has also imposed regulations on the usage of dental imaging equipment by allowing its use only if really required. These regulations further hamper market growth.

Why is Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging Gaining Immense Popularity?

Demand for cone-beam computed tomography imaging is set to increase at a CAGR of above 7% over the decade.

Being developed on one of the most breakthrough technologies in medical imaging, CBCT equipment has emerged as a key tool for dentists around the world. CBCT imaging equipment has stepped in as a relatively new medical imaging technique that offers 3D printed images.

One of the key advantages of CBCT imaging equipment is its ability to generate accurate 3D images at a low cost compared to conventional computed tomography.

Images procured from CBCT imaging equipment have the potential to bring higher efficiency in oral and maxillofacial surgeries. It is owing to these factors that CBCT imaging equipment is gaining popularity among dentists as well as patients.

Why are Intraoral Cameras So Prominent in the Market for Dental Diagnostic Imaging Equipment?

Intraoral cameras are gaining prominence in the market and demand is expected to increase at a CAGR of 6% over the next ten years.
