Global Dental X-ray Market by Product (Analog, Digital), by Type (Intraoral, Extraoral), by Application (Forensic, Cosmetic Dentistry, Medical) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global dental xray market was worth USD 536.5 million in 2020. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 18.6%) between 2021 and 2028. The market is driven by the increasing adoption of cosmetic dentistry and the introduction of new products. In both developed and developing nations, severe dental impairment is a result of the rising prevalence of periodontal disease and dental caries. According to the 2019 CDC statistics, 92% percent of Americans aged 20-64 reported having dental caries. Periodontal diseases are a major public health concern, with an increase in their incidence among both adults and adolescents. Poor oral hygiene, stress, smoking, and diabetes are all risk factors for this disorder. Market growth is expected to be fueled by an increase in oral diseases.

Due to the dramatic drop in elective procedures, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the dental industry. Many of these are being canceled or postponed so that hospitals can concentrate their resources on COVID-19 patients. The U.S. and India are major countries that import electronic components and raw materials from China. This has caused disruption in the supply chain for many product and dental equipment manufacturers. The country effectively closed down its manufacturing plants, which negatively affected the manufacturing of medical devices.

COVID19 impact: 66.0% decline in demand

Additionally, cosmetic procedures are becoming more popular due to increasing concerns about dental esthetics. This has led to an increase in demand for these procedures which has been reported to have doubled over the past five years. According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey, the main reason people choose cosmetic dentistry was to improve their self-esteem and physical beauty (86%), followed closely by health and restorative reasons (46%). The current trend is to show flawless looks on social media. This is expected to increase market growth. The market will continue to grow because of the increased use of xrays for cosmetic dental procedures.

Product Insights

In 2020, the market was dominated by analog devices with a share at 59.9%. This is due to the fact that experienced dentists still use these devices and are well-versed in the system. Existing practices might be affected by the high cost of switching to digital systems, and the low willingness to invest in advanced systems. This will be a key driver of this market.

The slow growth of analog systems can be attributed, however, to the requirement for multiplex-rays to obtain an image of acceptable quality. This causes repeated radiation exposure. This radiation exposure is higher than that of digital systems. The system poses a higher risk of radiation exposure than digital systems. It also requires increased time and chemical consumption. Also, it is difficult to develop x-rays without the assistance of trained personnel.

Digital systems have been rapidly replacing analog systems in the dental xray market. The adoption of digital technology has increased as it becomes a more mainstream trend. Digital xray systems now have digital sensors that can store x-ray images on an imaging program. This makes it easier than film, which requires developing and safekeeping. According to a 2015 survey by the National Library of Medicine, 82% of patients preferred the digital procedure over the analog because it was more convenient, less painful, and they were less afraid of having to repeat the procedure again.

Type Insights

The 52.7% largest share in 2020 was attributed to intraoral techniques. These devices offer exceptional contrast and spatial resolution. This technique has many additional benefits, including low cost and easy maintenance. Intraoral x-rays can be classified based on the images of different aspects of teeth. According to IData Research, more than 1.4 billion dental radiographs were taken in the United States last year. These included extraoral and intraoral procedures. More than 90% of these fell under the intraoral category.

Periapical xrays are used to image the root tip of a tooth on film. This allows for visualization of the entire tooth and surrounding bone. Bitewing xray images are focused on the buccal surfaces of the teeth at an angle perpendicular to the crowns of the maxillary or mandibular. Occlusal xray images give a better view of the maxilla, mandible, and enable the detection of fractures in the upper and lower jaws.

Because they allow for radiation exposure control, extraoral xrays will see a significant increase in demand over the forecast period. They are used most often to identify larger disorders such as wedged teeth or temporomandibular joints disorders. Dentsply Sirona currently has around 100,000 extraoral imaging devices.

Application Insights

In 2020, the medical application segment accounted for 61.3% of the total revenue. This segment helps to assess the severity of different conditions such as fractures, tumors, cavities, and tumors. To assess the severity of tooth decay and to check for other problems such as cysts or abscesses, dental radiographs can be used.

Over the forecast period, cosmetic dentistry will experience a significant increase in its revenue. The rising interest in cosmetic dentistry is a result of increasing awareness about the topic. These imaging systems are being sought after due to the increasing popularity of cosmetic procedures such as tooth reshaping and bleaching. Because they can be taken before any procedure, both intraoral and extraoral radiographs play a crucial role in cosmetic dentistry. To analyze the root of a tooth, intraoral x-rays must be taken. This is necessary before any cosmetic procedure can take place. Radiographs are used to plan inlay and onlay restorations. These radiographs help to determine the prerequisites such as the amount of decay, periodontal support, and the proximity of the nerve.

Due to their ability to quickly identify victims and estimate age through assessment of tooth eruption stage, digital dental x-rays are a key part of forensics. Dental radiographic imaging has been used in forensic dentistry due to its efficiency. It may also be used to compare antemortem radiographs and postmortem radiographs. Forensic dentistry also involves the analysis of dental anatomy, interpretation of radiographs and pathology, as well as developmental abnormalities. This provides an accurate representation of anatomical features such as the trabecular bones pattern.

Regional Insights

North America held 38.2% of the market share in 2020 due to its well-developed healthcare infrastructure and rising healthcare spending in developed countries like the U.S. These systems are also more easily accessible because of favorable reimbursements for healthcare and increased government initiatives.

Europe was responsible for a large share of the 2020 market. This is due to Europe's growing geriatric population. Geriatrics are more susceptible to oral diseases. This is why the demand for dental imaging in this age group is high. The demand for these devices is also driven by the fact that oral diseases are more common among young people in Europe.

Asia Pacific is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing awareness of oral problems in developing countries, which allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment. Another major driver of the market is China's aging population.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies
