Cone Beam CT Scanner Market Outlook:
Cone Beam CT Scanner Market size was USD 1.8 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 3.2 billion by the end of 2035, increasing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of cone beam CT scanner is estimated at USD 1.9 million.
The global market is expanding rapidly, primarily due to the fact that it increasingly finds application in orthodontics, dental implantology, and maxillofacial diagnosis. As per a report published by NLM in November 2023, in some surveyed specific hospitals, patient visits for the use of dental CBCT increased steadily from 355 to 488 in 2022 over 2 years at a rate of 37.4%. This increasing trend shows the continuous increase in the global demand for high-accuracy 3D imaging. Additionally, as oral health awareness is improving, the developing and developed nations are focusing on advanced CBCT technology, driving the global market expansion.
Moreover, the import and export facility in the international market reflects a growing global demand and evolving supplier capabilities, and present opportunities for cross-border partnership and distribution expansion. It also indicates increasing demand and changes in supplier capabilities. The use of a cone beam CT scanner requires safe and quality imaging, which is a basic requirement. Hence, a need to balance diagnostic efficacy and radiation safety is coming up. In an attempt to minimize radiation risk, dental professionals should be prudent in the choice of imaging modality. As demonstrated in the study in NLM April 2024, CBCT can be a valuable tool in this regard, as it offers a radiation dose reduction of approximately 29.6% compared to medical CT. Continuous compliance with regulations and dose reduction technological development contribute to credibility for CBCT to facilitate broader clinical and commercial use.
