3D Dental Scanners Market Report 2024

The 3D dental scanner market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.88 billion in 2023 to $2.03 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to supportive policies and funding for dental health, increased awareness about oral hygiene, expansion of dental clinics, improved infection control measures, and rising investments in dental technology startups.

The 3D dental scanner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in dental tourism, an aging population, increasing dental disorders, growing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and higher disposable incomes and healthcare spending. Major trends expected during this period include technological advancements, digitalization in dentistry, integration with CAD or CAM systems, frequent introduction of innovative products, and strategic alliances between companies.

The increasing prevalence of dental disorders is anticipated to drive growth in the global 3D dental scanner market. Dental disorders include various abnormalities, diseases, or conditions affecting the oral cavity that need evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment by dental professionals to maintain oral health and avoid complications. Factors contributing to the rise in dental disorders include poor oral hygiene, high consumption of sugary foods and drinks, and limited access to dental care services. 3D dental scanners are essential for addressing these disorders as they enable accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and the creation of customized dental prosthetics with greater precision. For example, a March 2023 report by the British Dental Association, a UK-based trade union for dentists, revealed that dental decay among 5-year-olds was 35.1% in more deprived areas and 13.5% in more affluent areas in 2022, showing a disparity of over 21.6 percentage points in oral health. The slope index of inequality for dental decay prevalence in 2022 was 27.7%. Thus, the increasing incidence of dental disorders is boosting the demand for 3D dental scanners.

Companies in the 3D dental scanner market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies such as multi-direct capture technology to enhance scanning accuracy and efficiency. Multi-direct capture technology involves capturing multiple images or scans from different angles simultaneously. For instance, in January 2024, Align Technology Inc., a US-based medical device company, introduced the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner. This scanner features a 3X wider field of capture with a smaller, lighter wand, which provides faster scanning, higher precision, better visualization, and a more comfortable experience. It offers a larger capture distance of up to 25 mm, facilitating the scanning of complex oral areas such as narrow or deep palates, edentulous spaces, and partially erupted teeth with minimal adjustments. This technology captures extensive data and fine details, producing high-quality scans and photorealistic 3D models without the need for bulky cameras and traditional cheek retractors.

In December 2022, MBK Partners, a South Korea-based private equity firm, acquired Medit Corp. for $2 billion. This acquisition gave MBK Partners a 99.5% stake in Medit from its largest shareholder, Unison Capital. The aim is to transform Medit into a globally recognized digital dental platform operator, expanding its offerings to include dental scanners, medical teams, dealerships, solutions, and devices. Medit Corp. is a South Korea-based company specializing in 3D dental scanners.

3D dental scanners are advanced devices used in dentistry to capture precise, high-resolution three-dimensional images of a patient's teeth and gums. These scanners employ technologies such as laser, structured light, or optical methods to create accurate digital models of the oral cavity. They are essential for detailed imaging required for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry.

The main types of 3D dental scanners include desktop or laboratory 3D dental scanners, intraoral 3D dental scanners, hand-held 3D dental scanners, and cone beam computerized tomography. These scanners are applied in areas such as prosthodontics, orthodontics, and implantology. They are utilized by various end-users, including hospitals, dental clinics, and research and academic institutions.
