Dental Imaging Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Technology (X-Rays (Periapical Radiography, PanoramiC Radiography, Cephalometric Radiography) Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Others), By Method (Intraoral, Extraoral), By End User (Dental Clinics, Hospitals, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Dental imaging are an important part of dental diagnosis and treatment. Dental imaging is a radiographic technique that uses wired or wireless hard sensors or phosphate plate sensors for the imaging process. Dental images are used by dentists for several reasons such as to detect hidden dental structures, maligant or benign masses and cavities. A dental radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of x-ray radiations and provide infinite details about the dental structure and oral health. Cone-beam computed tomography, periapical, panoramic and cephalometric radiography are another techniques which are also used to develop dental radiographic images.

According to the U.S Food and Drug Administration, dental intraoral radiography is the most common exam performed in the U.S, with approximately 100 million examinations performed each year. These trends combined with the globally increasing prevalence of oral diseases like dental caries, periodontal diseases and rising awareness about oral health through education programmes are anticipated to drive the market growth of dental imaging during the forecast period. Technological advancements in dental imaging and growing elderly population with dental problems are also expected to boost the demand of dental imaging techniques.

However, high cost associated with dental imaging systems and lack of reimbursement policies for dental procedures in emerging countries are factors restraining the growth of the dental imaging market.

Regional Analysis:

The global dental imaging market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the largest share of the global dental imaging market in 2018, owing to rapid increasing prevalence of oral diseases, increasing expenditure on oral health, and strong adoption of dental imaging technologies. The dental practices in Europe have comparatively more stringent government policies for x-rays exposure to patients due to which many European countries have a well-established market for dental imaging technologies.

Asia Pacific is expected to project a comparatively higher dental imaging market growth by the end of 2026. Latin America and Middle East & Africa are expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to increasing prevalence of oral diseases and rising awareness about dental health care.
