Dental X-Ray Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The dental x-ray equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.55 billion in 2023 to $2.94 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing prevalence of dental disorders and conditions, advancements in diagnostic imaging technologies, the adoption of preventive dentistry practices, growing awareness and education regarding dental health, and the development of dental care infrastructure.

The dental x-ray equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the aging population and increased concerns about oral health, the integration of technology for enhanced efficiency, a focus on minimally invasive dentistry, the emergence of 3D imaging in dental practices, and government initiatives in dental healthcare. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of cloud-based imaging solutions, the application of augmented reality (AR) in dentistry, a focus on ergonomic design and workflow integration, expanding applications in orthodontics, and an emphasis on regulatory compliance and standardization.

The demand for dental X-ray equipment is significantly driven by the increasing prevalence of oral disorders. Dental X-rays play a crucial role in dental care, enabling dentists to assess oral health by revealing hidden dental structures, bone loss, masses (malignant or benign), and cavities. In 2022, the World Health Organization reported that approximately 3.5 billion people globally suffer from oral illnesses, with three-quarters of cases concentrated in middle-income nations. Furthermore, 514 million children and an estimated 2 billion adults worldwide experience primary and permanent tooth caries, respectively. Notably, oral cancer ranks as the third most common cancer in the Asia-Pacific region. The rising incidence of dental disorders is fueling the demand for dental imaging systems, particularly dental X-rays, for effective diagnosis and treatment.

The dental X-ray equipment market is expected to experience growth driven by the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite. Dental X-ray equipment plays a vital role in cosmetic dentistry by aiding in diagnosis, planning, and executing various cosmetic procedures, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes. Statistics from 2023 reveal a growing trend in Americans using tooth whiteners, with an anticipated 38.92 million users and 80% of those aged 18 to 49 expressing a desire for whiter teeth. The prevalence of cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, is contributing to the expansion of the dental X-ray equipment market.

The growth of the dental X-ray equipment market is hindered by low healthcare access in developing countries. Limited healthcare resources, including financial constraints, insufficient infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled healthcare providers, pose challenges to healthcare accessibility in these nations. For instance, in Uganda, 97 out of 112 surveyed districts reported 15% of the population lacking access to public clinics, primarily concentrated in impoverished regions. Additionally, among 40 districts with 90% rural population, 20% had no clinics, and 55% had only one dental clinic. The inadequate healthcare access in developing countries acts as a constraint on the demand for dental X-ray equipment.

The dental X-ray equipment market is witnessing the emergence of handheld and portable X-ray systems, gaining popularity due to their advanced features. Companies in the industry are focusing on developing innovative equipment to meet the requirements of healthcare professionals. For example, in 2021, Carestream Dental introduced the CS 2400P, a portable X-ray generator featuring a battery-free recharging system. This system is designed to deliver high-quality diagnostic images, with a rapid recharge time of less than 3 minutes and the ability to capture multiple shots before requiring recharging.

Innovative technologies, such as Laser-Guided Dental X-Ray Positioner platforms, are being developed by major companies in the dental X-ray equipment market. These platforms utilize laser or beep cues to guide the positioning of dental X-ray machines, ensuring accurate angles and swift movement through programmed angles for a full-mouth series. LunaLite Dental, a US-based dental technology company, launched the LunaLite automated laser-guided dental X-ray positioner in October 2023. LunaLite streamlines the X-ray process, offering precise positioning guided by laser or beep cues for efficient and comfortable imaging.

In April 2022, Envista Holdings Corporation, a US-based dental equipment and supplies manufacturing company, acquired Carestream Dental’s Intraoral scanner business. This strategic acquisition aligns with Envista's mission to collaborate with dental professionals to enhance patient lives. Carestream Dental, an India-based digital imaging service provider for dental applications, contributes to Envista's portfolio through this acquisition.
