The increase in dental-related problems among the edentulous and geriatric population is notably driving the market growth, although the high cost of advanced dental imaging equipment and procedure may impede the market growth. 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 dental imaging market growth. Increasing dental problems in the edentulous population are contributing significantly to the growth of the global dental imaging 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 the 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 the dental imaging 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. This explains the growing trend towards open architectures by manufacturers of dental imaging systems. An open architecture allows systems to communicate and interact with each other to improve their functionality.
Among the affordable dental imaging systems that can be integrated with various milling systems, the use of open architecture software stands out. Hence, increasing use of intraoral scanners and open architecture solutions will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of advanced dental imaging equipment and procedure are challenging the dental imaging market growth. Many small and medium-sized dental offices and dental laboratories are reluctant to choose advanced dental imaging equipment such as dental CBCT and digital dental X-ray systems due to their high cost. Also, reimbursement for dental imaging 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 dental imaging 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.

The dental clinics and laboratories segment was valued at USD 1,572.03 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. 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 their dental imaging 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 dental imaging market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth of the global dental imaging market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
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 dental imaging 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. 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 the demand for dental imaging. 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.
COVID-19 has had a major impact on all industries, including dentistry. Dental offices were closed due to social distancing guidelines. Some scheduled treatments were deferred. Consequently, global dental imaging sales declined sharply. In March 2020, the American Dental Association recommended postponing elective dental procedures to protect dentists and patients from the adverse health effects of COVID-19 and conserve personal protective equipment. This impacted the growth of the market. However, dental clinics and hospitals were reopened following COVID-19 guidelines after lockdowns were eased due to worldwide vaccination campaigns, which increased the demand for dental images.
