The dental x-ray systems market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. X-rays are becoming an important part of the dental care plan. These x-rays are commonly used for the diagnostics and also for preventive measures to aid oral problems. X-rays are a kind of radiation, which is generally absorbed by tissues (denser tissues), and these rays pass through the soft tissues. As bones and teeth are the dense tissues, they absorb the rays and form an image. The dental x-ray systems market is primarily driven by the rising geriatric population, increasing the burden of dental diseases, and recent technological advancements in dental imaging methodologies, which are enabling a more accurate diagnosis of dental disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), half of the individuals in the United States aged 30 or older have periodontitis, which is a more advanced form of periodontal disease, and this equals approximately 64.7 million individuals in the United States. In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), estimated that severe periodontal (gum) disease is the 11th most prevalent disease globally. Furthermore, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry is also supplementing the market growth. Thus, owing to the above factors, the market is expected to grow in the coming years.
