Dental X-Ray Systems Market Analysis
The Dental X-Ray Systems Market size is estimated at USD 3.86 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.5 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.34% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The dental X-ray system market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in its early stages. For instance, to prevent patients from overtaxing hospital emergency rooms, the American Dental Association (ADA), in March 2020 recommended that dental offices can delay elective dental procedures until April 30, 2020, and only offer emergency dental care. Later, in November 2020, the American Dental Association (ADA) firmly believed that dental care can be continued and to be delivered safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is due to the less prevalence of COVID-19 among healthcare workers and the public. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a short decline in the demand for dental operations, which affected the dental X-ray system market's expansion during this period.
The major growth drivers of the dental imaging market are the rising burden of dental diseases, technological advancements in dental imaging, and increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry. For instance, the research study titled 'Update on the prevalence of untreated caries in the US adult population, 2017-2020' published by the Journal of American Dental Association in December 2021 stated that the prevalence of coronal and root caries were 17.9% and 10.1%, respectively, and it was most prevalent in those aged 30-39 years and 40-49 years men. Thus, the high percentage prevalence of dental diseases is projected to raise the demand for dental disease diagnosis using dental X-rays, which is likely to have a beneficial effect on the growth of the studied market.
Additionally, with the increasing technological advancement in dental imaging methodologies, the players in the market are innovating and launching new products that are further expected to complement the growth of the dental X-ray system market. For instance, in July 2021, Athlos Oy received 510(k) acceptance for DC-Air, a new generation of intraoral X-ray imaging sensors that will pave the way for the future of X-ray imaging. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, the dental X-ray systems market is expected to grow over the forecast period.
However, factors such as the high cost of dental radiography systems are expected to restrain the dental X-ray systems market during the forecast period.
