Intraoral/IOL Scanners Market Report 2026

The intraoral/iol scanners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.74 billion in 2025 to $0.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limitations of traditional dental impression methods, increasing adoption of digital dentistry, growth in orthodontic and prosthodontic procedures, rising dental tourism and cosmetic dentistry demand, advancements in 3D imaging technologies.

The intraoral/iol scanners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing penetration of digital dental clinics, increasing demand for customized dental restorations, rising adoption of wireless intraoral scanners, expansion of dental cad/cam ecosystems, increasing investment in dental technology innovation. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of digital impression workflows, growing preference for chairside dental solutions, increasing demand for patient comfort and faster procedures, expansion of cosmetic and restorative dentistry applications, rising integration with cad/cam dental systems.

The increasing prevalence of dental issues is expected to drive the growth of the intraoral/IOL scanners market in the coming years. Dental issues refer to any conditions affecting the teeth, gums, or oral structures, including cavities, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and malocclusion. The rise in dental problems is attributed to poor oral hygiene, limited access to dental care, and higher consumption of sugary and acidic foods. Intraoral scanners are essential for addressing dental issues as they deliver accurate digital impressions, enhancing diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient comfort while minimizing errors and saving time compared to conventional methods. For example, in August 2023, according to the National Health Service (NHS) England, a UK-based government health agency, around 32.5 million courses of dental treatment were provided in 2022-23, marking a 23.2% increase from the previous year, supported by 24,151 dentists performing NHS activities. During the same period, 33.1% of adult clinical treatments included Scale and Polish, while 55.6% of children’s clinical treatments involved Fluoride Varnish. Therefore, the growing incidence of dental problems fuels the intraoral/IOL scanners market.

Major companies operating in the intraoral/IOL scanners market are concentrating on creating technologically advanced products, including sophisticated communication and diagnostic tools, to enhance dental care efficiency, improve diagnostic accuracy, and streamline workflows for dental practitioners. Advanced communication and diagnostic tools encompass a variety of technologies and methods designed to facilitate the identification, analysis, and resolution of issues across multiple systems. For example, in September 2024, Dentsply Sirona Inc., a US-based manufacturer and supplier of dental products and technologies, introduced the Primescan 2, an advanced intraoral scanning solution and the first to be cloud-native. This innovative device is powered by the DS Core cloud platform, enabling dental professionals to perform scans directly on any internet-connected device without requiring a dedicated computer. The integration with DS Core delivers advanced communication and diagnostic tools, supporting dental professionals in maintaining high standards of care and comfort for their patients.

In October 2023, Straumann Group, a Switzerland-based company focused on the research, development, and production of dental implants, biomaterials, and digital dentistry solutions, acquired AlliedStar for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is notable as it enables Straumann to expand its scanner portfolio and serve different price segments, thereby targeting competitive and cost-sensitive areas in the dental market. AlliedStar is a China-based manufacturer of intraoral scanners.

Major companies operating in the intraoral/iol scanners market are Dentsply Sirona Inc, Align Technology Inc, Envista Holdings Corporation, Straumann Group, Carestream Health Inc, Medit Corp., Planmeca Oy, 3shape A/S, Kulzer, Roland DG Corporation, KaVo Dental GmbH, Acteon Group, Dental Wings Inc., Shining 3D, Guangdong Launca Medical Device Technology Co.

Intraoral (IOL) scanners are sophisticated dental devices used mainly in dentistry and orthodontics to capture precise 3D images of a patient's oral cavity. These scanners offer a digital alternative to traditional dental impressions, which often involve messy and uncomfortable physical molds. They are mainly used for creating digital impressions, which form the foundation for designing dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, implants, aligners, and dentures.

The primary intraoral/IOL scanner types include wired scanners and wireless scanners. A wired scanner is a scanning device that connects to a computer or other host system via a physical cable. It is utilized in orthodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, and other applications, and is employed by dental hospitals and clinics, dental academic and research institutes, and other related settings.

The intraoral/IOL scanners market consists of sales of optical scanners, confocal microscopic scanners, handheld intraoral scanners, stationary scanners, portable or compact scanners, laser-based scanners, and structured-light scanners.
