Market Growth Outlook Summary
The global dental imaging market is projected to expand from $2.6 billion in 2020 to $4.1 billion by 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. As technological innovations continue to advance, the adoption of modern dental imaging solutions is anticipated to increase significantly. Key growth drivers include the rising popularity of cosmetic dentistry, improved accessibility and affordability of imaging devices, and the growing need for fast and precise diagnostic tools in dental care.

The intraoral scanners segment of the dental imaging industry is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on products, the dental imaging market is segmented into extraoral and intraoral imaging systems. The intraoral imaging systems segment is further divided into intraoral X-ray systems, intraoral sensors, intraoral PSP systems, intraoral scanners, and intraoral cameras. Intraoral scanners are projected to grow at the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by the advantages of capturing direct dental impressions, reducing the rate of restoration remakes, and providing overall better clinical workflows.

Implantology to hold the largest share in the dental imaging industry.

Based on application, the dental imaging market is further segmented into implantology, oral & maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, orthodontics, and other applications. The implantology segment commanded the largest share of the market in 2019. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the growing adoption of dental implants, increasing number of bone-graft assessments, and rising focus on the evaluation of post-treatment cases.

Dental hospitals & clinics to register the highest growth rate in the dental imaging industry during the forecast period.

Based on end user, the dental imaging market is broadly classified into dental hospitals & clinics, dental diagnostic centers, and dental academic & research institutes. Dental hospitals & clinics are expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The high growth rate of this end-user segment can be attributed to the rising affordability of advanced dental imaging systems, growing patient awareness, and increasing need for rapid and accurate patient diagnosis and treatment planning.

North America holds the largest share in the dental imaging market as of 2019. This is largely due to the presence of numerous key players, increased patient awareness, and the growing adoption of advanced imaging technologies by dental professionals. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region has seen the fastest growth, supported by factors such as the expanding focus of both emerging and established companies on Asian markets, rising disposable incomes, more flexible regulatory conditions, and a booming dental tourism industry.
