The global dental radiology equipment market size is estimated to grow by USD 1,925.07 million between 2022 and 2027 accelerating at a CAGR of 10.77%.
This report extensively covers market segmentation by product (dental x-ray and dental CBCT), end-user (dental clinics, hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of World (ROW)). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.
The market for dental radiology equipment is expected to grow due to an increase in oral diseases like orthodontic and periodontal diseases, as well as preventive care visits. Dental caries and periodontal disease are the primary reasons for tooth loss. The prevalence of dental caries among those aged 2-19 in the US was 45.8%, with 13.0% of those cases untreated. Gum disease affects around 50% of US adults aged 30 and older, causing infection and destroying the gum and bone supporting the tooth. Factors such as alcohol use, smoking, and unhealthy diets contribute to dental health problems, and limited access to dental care in low-income areas is also a major issue. Dental radiology equipment can diagnose gum disease caused by plaque buildup. Overall, the increasing prevalence of oral conditions and dental visits drives the market growth of dental radiology equipment.

Dental Radiology Equipment Market Covid Recovery Analysis:
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the dental radiology equipment market in North America in 2020. The outbreak led to emergency legislation and restrictions on business activities, causing shutdowns of manufacturing plants and disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials. This, along with reduced orders from dental clinics, lowered the production volume of dental imaging equipment. However, most dental clinics and hospitals resumed their operations in 2021, leading to an increase in demand for dental radiology equipment. Early-phase diagnosis of dental disorders also increased due to a rise in dental diseases, such as tooth decay and gingivitis. As a result, the North American market is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period.
Dental Radiology Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges
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.
Key Dental Radiology Equipment Market Driver
To meet the growing demand for dental radiology equipment and compete with each other, vendors are focusing on research and development to launch advanced equipment that can boost sales and increase market share. For example, Planmeca Group launched Planmeca Viso G5, a CBCT imaging unit equipped with advanced technology like Planmeca ProFace and Planmeca 4D Jaw Motion. Air Techniques also launched ScanX Classic View, a digital radiography system for intraoral and extraoral plates, providing an effective and cost-efficient diagnosis. These new product launches have helped vendors strengthen their product segmentation and drive the global dental radiology equipment market's growth. The focus on launching new and advanced dental radiology equipment is expected to continue to boost the market growth in the forecast period.
Significant Dental Radiology Equipment Market Trends
Cosmetic dentistry utilizes dental techniques to enhance the appearance of teeth and gums, primarily focused on improving aesthetics such as tooth color, shape, size, and alignment. Procedures can include repairing cracks, filling gaps, correcting overcrowding, reshaping teeth, and replacing missing or old metallic restorations. The popularity of cosmetic dentistry is growing with the help of social media, where patients share videos and /images of their procedures. Additionally, advancements in technology have improved dental practices, with tools such as 3D printing, digital smile design, and 3D dental imaging aiding dentists in better visualization. Consequently, the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry is expected to increase the use of dental radiology equipment and drive market growth.
Major Dental Radiology Equipment Market Challenge
In some developing countries, the shortage of skilled dental professionals affected the market growth. Despite the large number of dental colleges in India, lack of job prospects and limited postgraduate seats in government and private colleges for specialized courses have led to a shortage of skilled dental specialists. International migration of dental professionals from developing to developed countries may exacerbate the problem and impact the overall healthcare system. As a result, the reduced availability of dentists in certain countries may hinder the growth of the global dental radiology equipment market to some extent during the forecast period.
