Intraoral Scanners Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

Intraoral Scanners Market Analysis

The Intraoral Scanner Market size is expected to grow from USD 373.09 million in 2023 to USD 540.12 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 7.68% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

The COVID-19 pandemic contributed largely to transforming the growth of various markets, and the immediate impact of the pandemic is varied. Initially, the outbreak of COVID-19 showed a substantial effect on the intraoral scanner market because patients' visits to dental clinics and hospitals were significantly reduced due to the global social distancing and lockdown measures taken by governments. The SARS-CoV-2 viral transmission in dentistry was anticipated to happen by air, droplets, and touch, according to a paper published in BMC Oral Health in October 2020. Additionally, in March 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA) published recommendations for a dental emergency and non-emergency care. Apart from conditions involving acute pain, infection, or trauma, the removal of teeth that are not showing any symptoms, and restorative dentistry, which includes the treatment of asymptomatic carious lesions and cosmetic dental procedures, are all considered non-emergencies by the American Dental Association (ADA). However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency dental procedures were mentioned with tooth fractures, dental treatment cementation, pericoronitis, etc. Hence, it is observed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the market studied. However, the market has reached pre-pandemic in terms of demand for the intraoral scanner.

Additionally, the significant factors responsible for the growth of the intraoral scanner market include rapid technological advancements, an increase in the geriatric population, and a rise in dental disorders. According to the WHO data published in 2021, oral diseases affected nearly 3.5 billion people, and over 530 million children suffered from caries affecting their primary teeth in 2020. The introduction of intraoral scanners in the dental devices market has modernized the dental practice landscape. These have eliminated the limitations of taking tooth impressions and helped dentists instantly transfer and manipulate data. The global geriatric population has increased in recent years.

According to a report published by the United Nations, around 727 million people were 65 years and above in 2020, and the number is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050, i.e., about 16% of the global population. Moreover, a positive correlation between the senior population and an increase in incidences of tooth loss and other dental-related disorders is expected to positively impact the market growth.

However, the lack of skilled professionals in developing economies such as India and China and the high cost of intraoral scanners may restrain market growth.
