The dental imaging market size is estimated to increase by USD 1.45 billion and continue to grow at a CAGR of 6.78% between 2023 and 2028. Market expansion hinges on various factors, such as the rise in dental-related issues among the edentulous and geriatric demographic, an uptick in dental professionals and practices, and a burgeoning demand for cosmetic dental surgeries. However, growth faces hurdles including the substantial expense of advanced technology and procedures, limited access to quality oral healthcare in less developed regions, and stringent regulations concerning X-ray exposure. Despite the increasing demand driven by demographic shifts and the growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry, challenges persist due to financial barriers and disparities in healthcare access. Overcoming these obstacles necessitates innovative approaches to make advanced dental care more affordable and accessible globally, ensuring that individuals of all backgrounds can benefit from quality oral healthcare services.

The dental clinics and laboratories segment was valued at USD 1.65 billion in 2018. The increasing edentulous population and increasing incidence of dental caries in developing and developed countries require specialized dental care. Dental laboratories cooperate with dental clinics and dental clinics. Dental laboratories are well equipped with high-end digital dental technologies such as computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), CBCT, and digital radiography. Dentists can use these technologies to create CAD and digital dental impressions. Large dental labs like Sun Dental Labs outsource and other needs to smaller dental labs and dental practices. Sun Dental Labs centralized the manufacturing process, so dental restorative procedures can be completed in less time, making them more cost-effective. Such factors are thus anticipated to drive the growth of the dental clinic and laboratories segment of the market during the forecast period.

Asia is estimated to contribute 51% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Another region that contributes to the market growth is North America. Advanced medical infrastructure, high patient awareness, reliable and robust reimbursement framework, and high prevalence of dental caries in countries such as the United States and Canada are some of the factors driving the growth of the market in the North American region. The increasing number of dental patients in North America primarily drives the market in this region. The increase in dental caries cases in the population is due to the increased consumption of sugar products and tobacco and the high prevalence of diabetes leading to periodontal disease.
Moreover, dental problems are on the rise in North America due to the increased use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and e-cigars. Increased tobacco consumption leads to tooth discoloration, oral lesions, oral cancer, oral candidiasis, and tooth decay. An increase in diabetes in the elderly and children leads to an increase in periodontal disease, which leads to tooth loss. The adoption of the Affordable Care Act by the US government will increase dental care and increase demand. This will further support spending on advanced technologies and devices in the U.S. healthcare sector, driving the growth of the market in the North American region during the forecast period.
Dental imaging plays a pivotal role in modern dentistry, enabling rapid and accurate diagnosis across various specialties including implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, and orthodontics. With advancements in technology, affordable imaging systems have become more accessible, offering both extraoral and intraoral options such as X-ray systems, sensors, PSP systems, and cameras. Among these, intraoral scanners stand out for their ability to provide detailed images of teeth, oral structures, and jaws. This aids dentists and oral surgeons in planning treatments and addressing oral health conditions effectively. Moreover, digital technologies have revolutionized dental disorders management, facilitating early detection of issues like cavities and gum disease, thus emphasizing the significance of diagnostic tools in contemporary dentistry. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
An increase in dental-related problems among the edentulous and geriatric population is notably driving the market growth. Increasing dental problems in the edentulous population are contributing significantly to the growth of the global market. Eccentricity not only affects the elderly and low-income populations but also the most vulnerable. Tooth loss in older people is caused by several reasons, including poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease, tooth decay, injury, cancer, smoking, or tooth wear. The prevalence of these dental diseases increases significantly with age.
In addition, along with the increase in life expectancy, the elderly population is also increasing rapidly worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people aged 65 is expected to grow to around 1.4 billion by 2030 and around 2.1 billion by 2050. Complete loss of natural teeth is also becoming increasingly common among older people. From age 65 to 74, 3 out of 10 do not have natural teeth. In addition, increasing risk factors such as diabetes, poor oral hygiene, stress, and tobacco and alcohol use are increasing the prevalence of dental disease. This will increase the demand for dental imaging services, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The use of intraoral scanners and open architecture solutions is a key trend influencing market growth. Dentists are beginning to take high-speed impressions of teeth using advanced intraoral scanners. These impressions are sent to the laboratory for milling and cutting. There are various intraoral scanners available on the market. That's why scanner manufacturers offer open architecture software that allows users to choose their own milling center. Files created in the open architecture system are imported into CAD software and sent to the milling unit for manufacturing. This software can be used in conjunction with any milling unit.
Moreover, this explains the growing trend towards open architectures by manufacturers of these systems. An open architecture allows systems to communicate and interact with each other to improve their functionality. Among the affordable systems that can be integrated with various milling systems, the use of open architecture software stands out. Hence, increasing the use of intraoral scanners and open architecture solutions will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of advanced equipment and procedures is challenging the market growth. Many small and medium-sized dental offices and dental laboratories are reluctant to choose advanced equipment such as dental CBCT and digital dental X-ray systems due to their high cost. Also, reimbursement is minimal in developed countries, whereas reimbursement is scarce in developing and underdeveloped countries, impacting the prevalence of this procedure. The average cost of a CBCT machine is approximately USD 150,000 and can range up to USD 300,000 depending on advanced upgrades and imaging software available on the market.
Additionally, the imaging or diagnostic cost for each procedure ranges from USD 300 to USD 600. The cost of dental CBCT imaging varies by clinic. Dental care is non-refundable in most countries. In some countries, they are refundable but much less. Advanced dental X-ray systems, such as digital dental X-ray systems, are more expensive than analog dental X-ray systems. The average cost of a digital system ranges from USD 120,000 to USD 280,000. Therefore, the high cost of this equipment is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
