Dental 3D Scanners Global Market Report 2024

The dental 3D scanners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.71 billion in 2023 to $0.78 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. During the historical period, growth can be attributed to several factors, including a notable transition towards digital dentistry, resulting in enhanced patient outcomes. This shift has been further fueled by rising awareness and educational efforts within the dental field, alongside advancements in dental laboratory automation and the development of industry standards. Additionally, a significant driver has been the increasing demand from patients for technologically advanced dental solutions.

The dental 3D scanners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by several factors, foremost among them being a pivot towards chairside dentistry and the concurrent expansion of both dental clinics and laboratories. Major trends anticipated during this period encompass technological convergence, emphasizing customization and personalization, integration of AI and machine learning into dental practices, and the emergence of portable scanners as a prominent innovation.

The rising prevalence of oral diseases is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the dental 3D scanners market. Oral diseases encompass a spectrum of conditions impacting the mouth, teeth, and orofacial structures, with their incidence on the rise due to various factors including unhealthy dietary habits, tobacco consumption, inadequate oral hygiene practices, and an aging demographic. Dental 3D scanners play a pivotal role in enabling early detection and precise treatment planning for oral diseases by furnishing accurate measurements and comprehensive anatomical insights. For example, in August 2023, a report by the National Health Service revealed a surge in dental disorder treatments to 32.5 million instances during 2022-2023, marking a 23.2% increase compared to the previous year. Similarly, in March 2023, the World Health Organization reported that nearly 3.5 billion individuals worldwide were affected by oral diseases, with three-quarters of those impacted residing in middle-income countries. Consequently, the mounting prevalence of oral diseases is catalyzing the expansion of the dental 3D scanners market.

Key players in the dental 3D scanners sector are directing their efforts towards introducing innovative products such as AI-guided scans to augment their market revenue. AI-guided scans offer a plethora of advantages including enhanced accuracy and precision, expedited scanning processes, superior dental imaging quality, and heightened patient comfort. For instance, in June 2023, Dental Monitoring SAS unveiled ScanAssist123, an AI-guided scan tailored for orthodontic applications. This technology leverages AI-guided instructions and real-time feedback to facilitate patients through their scanning procedures, making the experience interactive and enjoyable. The in-app system generates a dynamic 3D model of the oral cavity, accompanying patients during the scan process to ensure the acquisition of high-quality images and thorough analysis of treatment progress and oral health. ScanAssist represents a pioneering feature within the DentalMonitoring app, harnessing software and AI capabilities to identify over 130 intraoral observations pertinent to braces and aligner treatments.

In December 2022, MBK Partners completed the acquisition of Medit Corp. for $2 billion, a move aimed at bolstering its foothold in the dental 3D scanner market and fortifying its position within the healthcare landscape. This strategic acquisition enables MBK Partners to expand its market presence and capitalize on the burgeoning demand for dental 3D scanning solutions. Medit Corp., based in South Korea, is renowned for its expertise in manufacturing 3D dental scanners.

Dental 3D scanners represent cutting-edge imaging equipment within the dental industry, offering intricate three-dimensional renderings of dental anatomy, encompassing teeth, gums, and adjacent tissues. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as lasers or structured light, these scanners generate accurate digital replicas, pivotal for diverse dental functions including diagnosis, treatment strategizing, and the production of dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, and implants.

The primary classifications of dental 3D scanners encompass 3D dental light scanners and 3D dental laser scanners. A 3D dental light scanner operates through structured light technology, facilitating the capture of highly accurate three-dimensional representations of dental components, including teeth and gums. This method involves projecting light patterns onto surfaces and gauging their alterations. Such scanners find application across various sectors, including medical contexts, with end users spanning hospitals, dental clinics, dental laboratories, as well as academic and research establishments.
