Dental Digital X-Ray Global Market Report 2024

The dental digital x-ray market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.62 billion in 2023 to $4.0 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be credited to several factors, including the growth of dental tourism, rising healthcare expenditure, the extension of dental insurance coverage, and heightened awareness regarding the advantages of digital X-ray technology compared to traditional film-based systems.

The dental digital x-ray market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including the global increase in the elderly population, the expansion of dental practices, heightened focus on preventive dental care, rising adoption of tele dentistry solutions, and growing environmental concerns surrounding the disposal of hazardous chemicals utilized in traditional film-based X-ray systems. Major trends anticipated in the forecast period involve the integration of AI and big data, a rising trend towards the adoption of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology, increasing preference for minimally invasive dental procedures, and a transition towards portable and mobile digital X-ray systems within dental practices.

The increasing prevalence of dental diseases is poised to drive the expansion of the dental digital X-ray market in the foreseeable future. Dental diseases encompass various conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral tissues, including tooth decay, gum diseases, and oral infections, which can result in pain, inflammation, and potential tooth loss if not addressed. This surge in dental diseases is attributed to inadequate oral hygiene practices, unhealthy dietary habits, and limited access to dental care services. Dental digital X-ray technology facilitates precise diagnosis and treatment planning in oral health, leading to enhanced patient outcomes and more efficient delivery of dental care. For example, in August 2023, according to a report from the UK's National Health Service, there were 32.5 million instances of dental disorder treatments provided, marking a 23.2% increase from the 26.4 million treatments in 2021. Consequently, the rising prevalence of dental diseases is fueling the growth of the dental digital X-ray market.

Key players in the dental digital X-ray market are concentrating on the development of innovative dental digital imaging sensors like the Evolve Sensor to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment planning, and elevate overall patient care. The Evolve Sensor, an innovative intraoral dental digital imaging sensor introduced by PreXion, Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer in October 2023, delivers high-definition images for precise and safe diagnoses. Featuring user-friendly software, real-time high-definition image capture, internal silicone protection, and USB 2 connectivity, the Evolve Sensor offers a time-saving and cost-effective solution for dental practices transitioning to digital imaging.

In April 2022, Envista Holdings Corporation, a US-based dental products company, acquired Carestream's intraoral dental scanning technology business for $600 million. This strategic acquisition aims to enable Envista to collaborate with dental professionals in enhancing patients' lives through the digitalization, customization, and accessibility of dental care. Carestream, a US-based imaging technology company, specializes in offering digital X-ray scanners and sensors.
