The dental clinics segment was valued at USD 494.23 million in 2018. Mobile dental clinic chains are gradually emerging in the market. Such clinics help patients avail themselves of the benefits of cost-effective dental treatment. This dental clinic chain has also increased its revenue by partnering with corporate companies such as GE and Cognizant and a few Tier-1 hospitals such as Columbia Asia Hospital. These partnerships have helped MobiDent increase its revenue. The expanding reach of mobile clinics is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Intraoral scans using powder-free technologies are recommended for full-jaw scans due to the difficulty of maintaining powder coating on all the teeth for the duration of the scan. Powder-free intraoral scanners are easier to operate, and a powder-free system requires fewer processing steps. Powder-free systems are also easier to handle, especially for full-arch acquisition, as there is no need to check the consistency of the powder on the teeth during the scanning process. Thus, powder-free intraoral scanners have been gaining pace in the past decade. Various market players such as Align Technology, 3Shape, and Sirona, offer various powder-free intraoral scanners. Hence, due to such factors, the powder-free segment is expected to grow positively, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Some intraoral scanning systems require a surface coating of powder to be applied to teeth for the intraoral scanners to capture topographical data. Some clinicians have claimed that a few seconds of dusting is required for higher accuracy. The powder technique is a perfect solution to improve scanning accuracy by generating surface homogeneity. Furthermore, the growing development and launches of powder-free intraoral scanners by various vendors, such as 3Shape and Align Technology, have negatively impacted the segment. Besides, the growing development of powder-free intraoral scanners will hinder the growth of the powder-based segment, which will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Growing dental tourism is the primary trend shaping market growth. Emerging countries such as Mexico, Brazil, India, and a few other countries such as Israel, Hungary, and Thailand are widely preferred for dental tourism. Most people in developed countries prefer medical tourism due to the high cost of procedures in their own countries. People from developed countries such as the US, Australia, the UK, and Germany opt for dental tourism in developing countries, as they can avail of dental treatment at an affordable cost.
Dental tourism has increased market competition among medical tourism service providers. Dental tourism is booming due to the growing awareness about various treatment procedures and their costs. Moreover, dental tourism has also increased market opportunities for many small and large market players. Therefore, the growing dental tourism will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high-cost burden is a challenge that affects market growth. Innovation and technological advancements in dentistry enable patients to have an effective treatment, which can include any procedure that improves the appearance of an individual's teeth and gums, or any problem related to the oral cavity. Intraoral scanners help in the scanning of oral anatomy to provide better treatment options in terms of prostheses or oral supporting structures. However, these scanners are expensive. The cost of the scanning procedure can further increase depending on the required treatment and the nature of the procedure.
Furthermore, the capital investment required to produce the intraoral scanners is immense, which makes the new entrants hesitant about entering the market. The lack of transparency in the cost of procedures also poses a challenge to market growth. This increases the out-of-pocket expenditure for patients, as they remain unaware of the actual cost of procedures. Therefore, such factors may impede market growth during the forecast period.
