Dental Radiology Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2031 - By Product, Technology, Grade, Application, End-user, Region: (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa)
The global dental radiology equipment market is set to experience significant growth, driven by continuous technological advancements in medical imaging. According to Fairfield Market Research's latest report, the market is expected to reach nearly US$ 5.2 billion in sales for dental radiology equipment worldwide by the end of 2031. The key equipment categories include extraoral x-ray systems, intraoral x-ray systems, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, and intraoral plate scanners.
Extraoral X-ray Systems: Leading the Way
Extraoral x-ray systems are emerging as the top-selling dental radiology equipment due to their ability to address challenges associated with intraoral radiography. These systems meet performance standards while ensuring patient comfort, making them a preferred choice for dental practitioners. Their effective imaging capabilities, precise x-ray beam alignment, supported tube housing assembly, beam-on indicators, and controlled radiation exposure continue to drive their sales in the global dental radiology equipment market. By the end of 2031, it is projected that over a billion dollars' worth of extraoral x-ray systems will be sold worldwide.
Technical Limitations of Intraoral X-ray Systems
Intraoral x-ray systems, though versatile and widely used in dental institutes, have limitations in identifying and rectifying technical errors. While these systems are expected to generate over US$ 700 million in revenue in 2023, their inability to address certain technical challenges has influenced their sales in the global dental radiology equipment market. These limitations position intraoral x-ray systems as the second-most top-selling product in the industry.
Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging on the Rise
CBCT imaging equipment, developed on breakthrough technology in medical imaging, have become essential tools for dentists worldwide. These systems offer the advantage of generating precise 3D images at a lower cost compared to traditional computed tomography. CBCT imaging is particularly beneficial in oral and maxillofacial surgeries, contributing to higher efficiency. The market for CBCT imaging equipment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% during the period from 2024 to 2031.
Intraoral Plate Scanners Facing Limited Applications
Intraoral plate scanners, widely used in small format x-ray diagnosis and veterinary dental care, are experiencing limited growth due to their inability to create high-definition multi-dimensional images. While these scanners offer increased throughput and automatic workflow, their restricted applications are expected to impact their sales in the global dental radiology equipment market.
The global dental radiology equipment market is witnessing dynamic changes, with extraoral x-ray systems leading the way. Technological advancements, particularly in CBCT imaging, are expected to drive market growth. Dental practitioners and manufacturers alike are focusing on providing precise and efficient solutions to meet the evolving needs of the dental healthcare sector.
