Global dental imaging market overview

According to the dental imaging industry analysis, the global dental imaging market will grow steadily at a CAGR of above 8% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the rising edentulous population coupled with the increasing demand for oral care. Factors such as age, periodontal diseases, dental caries, and other dental conditions are some of the main reasons for this rapid increase in the demand for dental imaging.

Also, since oral health is linked to cardiovascular diseases, low birth weights in pregnancy, and transmission of flu, private and government organizations are taking initiatives to avoid such health problems. For instance, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has partnered with agencies such as the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Periodontology to improve surveillance of periodontal diseases in the US adult population. Consequently, such initiatives will create awareness among the population and increase the demand for global dental imaging market during the forecast period.

Dental imaging industry analysis based on geography

In terms of geographical regions, the Americas were the major revenue contributor to the market during 2016. The growing prevalence of oral diseases such as tooth decay, chronic bad breath, and periodontal diseases, and bleeding gums are some of the major factors for the dominance of the dental imaging market in the region. Also, the growing number of dental implant procedures and advances in dentomaxillofacial surgeries is driving the market in North America. Panoramic X-ray imaging equipment is required to conduct a 3D imaging analysis. Restoration of dental implants, which can often be complex, can be simplified using X-ray imaging and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems. Moreover, the emergence of medical imaging, which helps in soft tissue examination, temporomandibular joint examination, and plaque detection will further propel the market growth in the region in the next few years.
