The market growth is attributed to rise in oral disorders, which is accompanied by technological developments and a greater understanding of its advantages. In addition, growing demand for dental imaging over conventional techniques including pictures will fuel the market expansion. As per a report released by the World Health Organization in 2022, nearly 3.5 billion people are estimated to be affected by oral diseases worldwide.
Oral health signifies the health of the teeth, gums, and entire oral-facial system. Good oral health allows us to smile, speak, and chew without any complications or hesitation. Dental digital X-ray equipment, which is dental imaging equipment, is used in RadioVisioGraphy (RVG) to capture the teeth, gums, and their surroundings and perform dental examinations. The pictures produced are further used to detect and treat dental disorders. With the increase in oral diseases such as cavities (tooth decay) and gum (periodontal) diseases, the global dental digital X-ray equipment market is expected to see notable growth in near future. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40% of adults have reported feeling pain in their mouth within the last year, and more than 80% of people have at least one cavity by age 34. Additionally, it is also estimated that on average, over 34 million school hours and more than USD 45 billion in productivity is lost each year as a result of dental emergencies requiring unplanned care.
Dental Digital X-ray Equipment Market Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Growth Drivers
- Increase in Oral Cancer Cases Around the World - Since the oral cavity is technically close to the head and neck, dental X-ray tests appear to have an impact on the neck and brain parts. The World Cancer Research Fund International has reported 377,700 oral cancer cases worldwide in 2020.
- Increase in Regular Dental Checkups Amongst Individuals - A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that around 63.0% of the population aged 18 and over had a dental visit in 2020. Whereas, 85.9% of children (2 – 17 years) visited the dentist in the same year.
- Growing Aging Population on Poor Oral Health- The aging population, which is particularly affected by poor oral health such as dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, dry mouth, or oral cancer, is an anticipated factor for the dental digital X-ray equipment market to grow. Recent reports by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that nearly all adults (96%) aged 65 years or older have had a cavity and about 68% have gum disease.
- Rise in Number of Active Dentists - According to the American Dental Association, there were 201,117 practicing dentists in the United States in 2020. This translated to 61.0 dentists per 100,000 population.
Challenges
-
Increased Cost of Dental Digital X-ray Equipment - The difficulty in increasing spending, especially in low- to middle-income nations, is mostly caused by the high cost of dental digital X-ray equipment that is required for monitoring and diagnosis. As an estimate, a used Carestream Kodak 9300 Premium 3D Cone Beam and Panoramic X-ray machine potentially cost as much as $50,000.
- Concerns Regarding Manipulating Dental Images
- Negligence in Personal Dental Care
