Intraoral Scanners Market

Intraoral Scanners Market Overview (2022-2032)

The global intraoral scanners market size was valued at US$ 505.6 Million in 2022, and is projected to reach US$ 1.04 Billion by 2032, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.

The abundance of qualified staff and cutting-edge dental imaging technologies are driving up demand for intraoral scanners in dental clinics. Due to increased demand for digital dentistry in dental clinics and growing purchasing power, the use of intraoral scanners in dental clinics is increasing.

As patients primarily prefer to visit dental clinics for any dental issue, the demand for intraoral scanner products from dental clinics is expected to rise at an impressive CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Also, the demand for 3D dental scanners and intraoral digital scanners for use in dental clinics is increasing at a noteworthy pace.

In dental clinics, intraoral scanners in digital dentistry have grown in popularity. This is due to the benefits of digital processes for illness diagnosis in everyday clinical practice. With the development of electronic health records, cloud storage of data, and advanced dental equipment, dental clinics display a stronger adoption of digital dental dentistry and dental radiology equipment than other end users.

This is due to the software-based products' capacity to be adapted into all spheres of medical practice. Thus, as a large number of patients are visiting dental clinics for tooth and gum discomfort, over the projected period, the sales of dental intraoral scanners are anticipated to rise.

Dental intraoral scanners are equipment used in dentistry to take direct digital imprints. A laser beam is focused onto the tooth area, which must be watched, similar to other scanning equipment. Implant scan bodies, prepared teeth, and tooth arches are all scanned using intraoral scanners. The difficulties with impression plates and trays used in conventional scanners have been greatly reduced by intraoral scanners.

Trays used during scanning also cause older patients some slight discomfort. Patients appreciate 3D digitalization imprints because they are more practical and comfortable. In less than 3 minutes, modern intraoral scanners can scan the complete dental arch due to technological developments. Thus, the demand for 3D intraoral scanners is growing.

Root caries is more common in older people due to increased difficulties with receding gums that expose tooth root surfaces and excessive medication use that results in xerostomia. Thus, the rising rate of the senior population with dental disorders is expected to boost the sales of intraoral scanners.

Intraoral cameras are useful for accessing the back of the mouth since they may be used inside the mouth and provide exceptional sight and clarity. Intraoral cameras provide a strong light source that allows for high magnification of objects.

Over the coming years, there will be a significant rise in the demand for intraoral cameras due to the advantages of taking direct dental impressions, reducing the frequency of restorative remakes, and supporting better clinical workflows. Furthermore, factors influencing the sales of intraoral scanners are the growing rate of population with dental disorders, the rising prevalence of periodontal diseases, and technological advancements in intraoral scanners.

What is Supporting the Sales of Intraoral Scanners across the World?

“Rising Prevalence of Edentulism & Periodontal Diseases”

Edentulism is a disorder that causes tooth loss and is usually observed in the elderly population around the world. Periodontal disease, dental caries, an unhealthy lifestyle, and population ageing are the causes of edentulism.

Since tooth loss or decay is so common in nature, more people seek dental care, which is anticipated to fuel the intraoral scanners market share during the projected period.

• For instance, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2060, there will be 92 million people who are 65 or older.
• About 25% of people 60 years of age and older are thought to be missing some or all of their natural teeth.

Therefore, the worldwide demand for intraoral scanners is boosting due to the rising rate of the ageing population with dental problems.

“Rapid Advancements in Dental Diagnostic Imaging Technologies”

Due to improvements in dental diagnostic imaging technologies, there is likely to be an increase in the sales of 3D dental scanners. The dentistry industry is expanding quickly due to the rise in data and technological advancements as an efficient range of digital leveraging.

Digital dentistry today encompasses much more than just computer-aided design and production. Along with diagnostics, decision-making, therapy delivery, and re-evaluation, it also includes long-term patient oral healthcare.

In general, rising spending power on healthcare and beauty standards is fueling the demand for cosmetic dentistry. As a result, the demand for 3D dental intraoral scanning equipment is increasing significantly. 3D dental intraoral scanners also reduce the time of imprinting and help medical experts to work effectively.

What Could Dent Demand Growth for Intraoral Scanners to Some Extent?

“High Intraoral Scanner Cost & Lack of Awareness about Oral Health in Developing Countries”

The cost of dental intraoral scanners starts from USD 20,000 and increases accordingly. The cost is expected to rise in the coming years due to ongoing technological improvements.

People in many underdeveloped nations frequently ignore dental issues due to a lack of money and awareness regarding oral care. Thus, such an approach negatively hampers the sales of dental devices.

Furthermore, the shortage of experienced medical experts in developing nations and the high price of intraoral scanners could limit sales growth.

Country-wise Analysis

How are Sales of Intraoral Scanners Evolving in the United States?

“Rising Prevalence of Periodontitis & Production of Advanced Intraoral Scanners by Major Firms”

With a high growth rate, the United States is expected to dominate the North American market. The main factors boosting the U.S. intraoral scanners market growth are an increase in the senior population with oral ailments and the presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure.

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, periodontal disease mostly affects the senior population.
• Half of the American people over the age of 30 experience periodontitis in one or more teeth.

Thus, sales of intraoral scanners are anticipated to increase as the incidence of dental problems rises.

Major market players in the nation are introducing new and sophisticated scanners as a result of technological developments, which are anticipated to have a big impact on the sales of intraoral dental scanners in the nation.
