Global Intraoral Radiography Market - 2024-2031

Global Intraoral Radiography Market - 2024-2031

The global intraoral radiography market reached US$ 1.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2.7 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Intraoral radiography, also known as intraoral X-ray, is a diagnostic imaging technique used to produce radiographs of the oral cavity, including the teeth, gums, and surrounding bone structures. The procedure involves exposing the oral cavity to a controlled amount of X-ray radiation to produce a two-dimensional image of the internal structures.

The X-ray radiation is emitted by an X-ray machine, which is positioned outside the mouth. The radiation passes through the oral tissues and is absorbed by the sensors or film, producing an image that can be used to diagnose various oral health issues.

The market is driven by factors such as the increasing incidence of dental diseases and disorders, advancements in imaging technology, and rising demand for minimally invasive dental procedures.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing incidence of dental diseases and disorders

The demand for the global intraoral radiography market is driven by multiple factors. One of the key factors is the increasing incidence of dental diseases and disorders, especially in the growing geriatric population helps to drive this market growth.

According to WHO, statistics in March 2023, globally, an estimated 2 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 514 million children suffer from primary teeth. The WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) estimated that oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide, with 3 out of 4 people affected living in middle-income countries.

Moreover, key player's strategies such as partnerships & collaborations, and product launches would drive this market growth. For instance, in August 2023, Planet DDS, announced a partnership with Pearl, among the industry’s most advanced radiologic AI software providers, to integrate Pearl’s AI technology into its Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging software and all-in-one dental practice management solution, Denticon.

Also, in May 2023, Midmark announced the release of the Midmark Intraoral Digital Sensor System, a new digital sensor system designed with enhanced triggering to ensure reliable image capture.

In addition, major players in the industry introducing AI in imaging technologies help to drive this market growth. For instance, in October 2023, DEXIS announced the launch of the DEXassist solution with 2D findings powered by Assisted Intelligence (AI). The DEXassist solution integrates AI features from DTX Studio Clinic into DEXIS 10 Imaging Suite Software. The solution helps practitioners detect six pathologies in 2D intraoral X-rays including carries, calculus, bone loss, periapical radiolucency, root canal filing deficiency, and discrepancy at the margin of an existing restoration.

Also, in March 2023, Planmeca introduced new AI-based tools for Planmeca Romexis which helps optimize the daily tasks at a dental practice and makes working with patient images and treatment planning even easier and faster.

Restraints

Factors such as risks associated with radiation exposure from dental X-rays, high equipment costs, lack of awareness & training, stringent regulations regarding radiation safety, and limited reimbursement are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global intraoral radiography market is segmented based on type, application, end-user, and region.

The dental caries segment accounted for approximately 62.5% of the intraoral radiography market share

The dental caries segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Radiography is commonly used to assess and detect caries, as it gives the practitioner additional information about the clinical progression. On radiographs, carious lesions appear as low-density areas under the tooth structure. This area represents the demineralization and dissolving of hard tissue.

According to CDC in May 2024, among adolescents aged 12 to 19, more than half (57%) have had a cavity in their permanent teeth. Among adults aged 20 and older, about 90% have had at least one cavity 1 in 4 adults aged 20 to 64 has at least one cavity.

The rising number of dental caries would drive this segment's growth. According to the WHO data in November 2022, an estimated 2.5 billion people suffer from untreated dental caries (tooth decay) alone.

Moreover, government initiatives such as awareness programs and product launches would drive this segment's growth. For instance, in January 2024, Fujitsu announced the launch of a large-scale health education initiative for Fujitsu’s approximately 70,000 employees in Japan to encourage employees to take proactive steps to maintain and improve their oral and dental health. This health education program will promote Fujitsu employees’ understanding of preventive dentistry to manage oral and dental health and will update them about the causes and risks of dental caries and periodontal disease.

Similarly, in March 2024, The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) launched a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of oral and dental care in cooperation with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC).

Also, in June 2023, Incisive Technology announced the BlueCheck Caries Detection & Monitoring is a solution containing colored agents that, when applied to tooth surfaces following a dental prophylaxis procedure, binds to surface and subsurface porosities utilizing natural hydroxyapatite-binding chemistry of the protein component of the device.

Geographical Penetration

North America accounted for approximately 43.2% of the global intraoral radiography market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the increasing incidence of dental diseases and disorders, well-established healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies, and increasing adoption of advanced dental imaging technologies in the region helps to drive this market growth.

Moreover, the rising number of product launches and approvals propel the market growth in this region. For instance, in October 2023, Denti.AI announced the 510(k) clearance by the FDA of its innovative product, Denti.AI Detect. This state-of-the-art imaging solution is engineered to aid dental professionals in identifying prevalent dental diseases such as caries, periapical lesions, and bone loss from dental X-rays.

Similarly, in June 2023, Overjet, announced its fourth FDA clearance, expanding its AI technology for predicting tooth decay in younger patients.

Also, in April 2023, DEXIS announced FDA 510(k) Clearance for dental findings AI on 2D intraoral X-ray images. As the next generation of DEXIS software, DTX Studio Clinic now offers the first and only imaging solution with six types of pathological dental findings on periapical and bitewing intraoral radiograph images and is fully integrated into on-premise imaging software.
