Global Intraoral Scanner Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Intraoral Scanner Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

An intraoral scanner is a device for capturing direct optical impression. The scanner projects the light source onto the area to be scanned. Images are captured by imaging sensors, processed by scanning software, and then a 3D surface model is generated.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Intraoral Scanner market finds that the global Intraoral Scanner market reached a value of USD 1492.31 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 4264.44 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.12% during the forecast period.

Advantages of Digital Impression

Clinicians capture images of teeth/tooth preparations. The impression was captured using an intraoral scanner inserted into the patient's mouth and moving over the surface area of the teeth. Due to the materials and impression tray used, the traditional impression will bring discomfort to patients, which usually causes vomiting reflex. Digital Impression reduce discomfort by eliminating the need for materials and impression trays. Under complicated circumstances, if clinicians are not satisfied with the impression, they can delete and regain the impression without repeating the whole process. Eliminating traditional impression materials can directly save costs and reduce the cost of consumables. Clinicians and dental technicians can access impression quality in real time. If the dental technician feels that the impression is of poor quality, the clinician can take another impression without calling the patient again to make a second appointment. Digital impression can bring some advantages to doctors' offices and patients, and promote the growth of Intraoral Scanners demand.

The lack of skilled labor or professional knowledge talent

For small and medium-sized enterprises, the labor cost of Intraoral Scanners will be more obvious. The main reasons for this high labor cost are as follows: firstly, the operation of Intraoral Scanners is relatively complex, and enterprises have great demand for workers with certain skills and proficiency, and enterprises will pay higher wages if they want to hire them. Moreover, when the actual development experience of these talents is mature, enterprises need to pay higher wages if they want to retain these talents. Secondly, in order to cultivate the ability and level of company workers, it is necessary to train them regularly, and even study on business trips. However, a large number of costs and expenses generated in the process of personnel training can only be paid by enterprises themselves, thus increasing the cost burden of enterprises. Clinicians with a passion for technology and computers will find it very easy to adopt intraoral scanners in their practice. Clinicians with less experience and passions for technological innovations could find using the device and related software more complex.
