San Francisco, 08 April 2024: The Report Dental X-ray Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Analog, Digital), By Type (Intraoral, Extraoral), By Application, By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

The global dental x-ray market size is expected to reach USD 5.26 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of oral diseases and the rising geriatric population are some of the factors that have led to the growth of the market.

Dental x-ray systems are useful in detecting and recording areas of decay that are undetectable by oral examination, especially minor areas of decay present between teeth. The rising prevalence of periodontitis is also accelerating the demand for these instruments. According to the CDC, 47.2% of adults, over the age of 30 have periodontal disease in the U.S., which is more common in men than women since males are more prone to smoking and other disorders such as diabetes. Early detection of dental disorders such as periodontitis, tooth decay, and tumor or cyst, allows them to be treated while they are still in the early stages, potentially saving money.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the market for dental X-rays. Due to lockdown and global restrictions being imposed in most of the countries initially, many dental treatments and procedures were halted. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge disruption in the supply chain of the overall medical industry. The outbreak had resulted in a decrease in the number of dental procedures performed each year, resulting in an overall decline in the market.

Dental X-rays are medical images of a person’s teeth and the surrounding structures that are used to evaluate oral health. It involves the use of low levels of radiation to capture images. An increase in the preference of people for better aesthetic and oral care and a rise in the burden of teeth disorders has led to an increase in the frequency of dental X-ray procedures, which is, in turn, boosting the market growth.

The rapid adoption of cosmetic dentistry, increasing disorders of teeth, the introduction of innovative imaging solutions, and the rising geriatric population are the key factors propelling the market growth. The dental digital X-ray market has been experiencing many technological advancements, one such path-breaking innovation is the cone-beam Computed Tomography System (CBCT). CBCT has provisions for fast, accurate, and 3-D imaging of patients to examine dental disorders. This system has successfully surmounted the pitfalls of the conventional 2-D X-ray imaging aiding precision studies and effective diagnostics of dental diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted its impact across various markets, including the dental industry, owing to government-imposed lockdowns as a precautionary measure. The supply chain for dental X-Ray has not been immune to these effects, experiencing disruptions. The broader medical device industry has also faced substantial challenges and disturbances in its supply chain due to the ongoing pandemic. The outbreak of coronavirus has impacted the market negatively as there was a decline in the number of dental treatments after the second quarter of 2020. However, this is estimated to be a temporary effect and during the forecast period, the demand for X-rays is likely to increase post-pandemic. An increase in awareness of oral care and rising problems related to teeth will drive the market growth.
