3D Dental Scanners Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing affordability among people is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high initial capital investment and excessive cost of dental diagnostic procedures may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the 3D dental scanners industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Dental 3D Scanners Market Driver
The increasing affordability among people is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Dental 3D scanners are available at a very low cost, which is influencing dentists to adopt them at a rapid rate. Meanwhile, the added benefit of decreasing time consumption for one patient's diagnosis and treatment broadens their spectrum of reach to more patients, thus increasing their profit. Moreover, thanks to the introduction of digital impressions via 3D scanners. Here, dentists do not need to share physical impressions with the laboratory leading to cost-saving on shipping. At the same time, the digital impression captures clear, highly accurate impression data avoiding inaccuracies. Such convenient factors will drive the dental 3D scanners market growth during the forecast period.
Key Dental 3D Scanners Market Trend
An increasing rate of dental tourism is one of the key market trends propelling market growth. Primarily, dental treatments in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK are expensive. Therefore, it restricts many individuals from availing of these treatments. However, the most popular destinations such as Argentina provide high-quality dental services at comparatively cheaper rates as compared to the US. Significantly, people travelling abroad for dental treatments are looking for cost-effective dental care plans which can yield 50%-75% of savings. For instance, private orthodontic treatment cost in the UK is in the range of $2,500-$7,500, depending upon the complexity of the procedure and the type of orthodontic appliances used. In some Asian countries, the same treatment can be availed at a much lower cost. Such cost-effective factors may contribute to the growth of the global dental 3D scanners market during the forecast period.
Key Dental 3D Scanners Market Challenge
High initial capital investment and excessive cost of dental diagnostic procedures are one of the key factors challenging the dental 3D scanners market growth. Innovation and technology in dentistry enable patients to have effective treatment. However, the price for 3D dental scanning is relatively very high and the cost of treatment can become more expensive depending on the required treatment, 3D dental scanning involved, and the nature of the procedure. Furthermore, dental insurance does not cover most of the diagnostic dental procedures. Meanwhile, the lack of transparency in the price of dental procedures poses a challenge for the market. This increases the out-of-pocket expenditure for patients as they are unaware of the total amount to be paid for a dental procedure. These challenges may limit the dental 3D scanners market growth during the forecast period.
This market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
