The global dental caries detectors market size was USD 265.2 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 586.0 million in 2028, at a CAGR of 10.6% in the 2021-2028 period. The global impact of COVID-19 has been significant, with dental caries detectors witnessing a slightly negative impact on demand across all regions.


However, the slight decline in demand was compensated by the rise in penetration of these devices in existing dental clinics and hospitals globally, combined with demand from new dental clinics and hospitals in emerging and developed countries.


There has been an observed rise in the demand for advanced dental diagnostic tools to detect dental caries recently. Also, the increasing adoption of these detectors in clinics is fueling the market growth. Furthermore, the launch of innovative products in the market is anticipated to fuel demand for such devices. The increasing number of new product launches, coupled with the increasing penetration of these diagnostic devices in emerging markets, is expected to boost the global market's growth throughout the forecast period.


Declined Demand for Dental Caries Detectors to Impede Growth amid Coronavirus Pandemic


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a slightly negative impact, with the global market witnessing a negative impact on demand combined with a positive growth due to new shipments at the same time. However, the number of dental visits declined in the initial period due to the various restrictions and government regulations.


This is responsible for the decline in the number of diagnostic procedures, which further led to the negative impact on demand for new detectors along with the replacement of existing units. The global dental caries detectors market witnessed a negative impact on the growth as the demand for these detectors hampered by the Covid-19 lockdown. However, the overall negative impact, especially in developed countries during covid-19, was compensated by the increasing penetration of advanced diagnostic devices and detectors in emerging countries and the rising number of dental caries replacements in developed regions.

Technological Advancements in Dental Diagnostic Devices to Lead to Market Growth


One of the most critical trends witnessed in the global market is the introduction of technologically advanced products. Conventionally, diagnosis of dental caries has been performed using visual methods and x-ray imaging. However, traditional methods have their own limitations in identifying dental caries accurately and in time.


This has created an unmet need for technologically advanced diagnostic devices for the efficient diagnosis of dental caries. Key players have identified the unmet needs of dental professionals and have strengthened their R&D programs to develop innovative products to provide effective and quick diagnosis of this diseases, based on laser fluorescence and trans-illumination technology. For instance, In May 2019, Air Techniques, Inc. launched the ScanX Classic View system in the market. It is an advanced digital radiography system capable of capturing intraoral and extraoral images.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Prevalence of Dental Caries to Drive the Demand for Advanced Diagnostic Devices


One of the major drivers influencing the market growth is the increasing prevalence of dental diseases. The growing prevalence of dental diseases in the general population due to the factors such as poor dental hygiene, lack of awareness towards oral health, and sedentary lifestyle. Dental caries is affecting many people across the world, which is anticipated to support the growth of the market in the near future.


According to the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, dental caries' prevalence varies from 49% to 83% across different countries. Similarly, according to the report published by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the prevalence of total and untreated dental caries among youth aged 2–19 years was 45.8% in the U.S.


This increasing prevalence of dental diseases presents a large patient pool requiring dental diagnosis, which is driving the demand for dental caries detectors during the forecast period.


Growing Number of Dental Practitioners to Aid Market Growth


One of the critical factors driving the market growth during the forecast period is the growing number of dental practitioners and dental clinics. According to the report published by the American dental association, there were around 182,000 dental clinics in the U.S., and more than 16,000 dental clinics were present in Canada in 2020.  Similarly, as per the Office for National Statistics, around 12,000 dental clinics were active in the U.K in the year 2017.


The rising number of dental clinics is expected to upsurge the demand for dental equipment, including caries detectors, in the near future. The increasing number of dental practitioners is also influencing the market growth. According to the report published by Indian Dental Association, the number of dental practitioners in India increased from 180,000 in 2012 to 300,000 in 2020. The growing number of dentists in emerging countries like India and China provides favorable conditions for the dental caries detectors market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Availability of Alternative Procedures to Hinder Market Growth


One of the major factors restraining the market's growth is the availability of alternative procedures for diagnosing dental caries. Currently, x-ray imaging, intraoral scanners, and cameras are preferred by dental practitioners over dental caries detectors due to various factors, including easy availability, low cost, and product awareness. The awareness regarding advanced sensors is common in emerging countries such as China, India, and Brazil.


Additionally, the high cost of these devices has led to lower penetration in the market. For instance, KaVo dental's Diagnodent costs around USD 4,000 in the U.S. Similarly, DEXIS CariVu costs nearly USD 5,000 in the U.S., which makes it unaffordable for small-scale clinics and individual practitioners. Hence, these factors are expected to restrain the market growth in the forecast period.
