Global Intraoral Scanners 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 Scanners market finds that the global Intraoral Scanners market reached a value of USD 1016.13 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1542.34 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.
Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Intraoral Scanners Industry Development
In order to curb the COVID-19 epidemic, most countries have introduced many policies, including border blockade and social distancing. The epidemic prevention and control measures will affect the flow of people and activities, and in turn affect logistics, making the production of manufacturing, especially labor-intensive industries, affected by the supply of raw materials and labor shortages.
For the Intraoral Scanners industry, the blockade policy will affect the supply of raw materials and export trade of products. The social distancing policy may have a great impact on the production of products, especially for some small factories, they will spend more money to maintain production during the epidemic, and factories may face the risk of closure in some areas. With the gradual control of the epidemic, some factories began to resume operation. However, while operating production, enterprises need to protect the life and health of employees, such as purchasing masks, disinfectants and other epidemic prevention materials, disinfecting the working environment before and after the production, and testing the body temperature of employees every day to ensure the health of employees. These measures will increase the production cost of enterprises and affect the development of enterprises.
But in the long term, the COVID-19 outbreak may cause more factories to start using more automated production lines to avoid the pandemic's impact on the industry. In addition, the application of IoT technology may also bring more opportunities for industry participants.
Intraoral Scanners Drivers
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.
