Global Intraoral Scanners Market Assessment, By Product [Intraoral Scanners, Intraoral Cameras, Intraoral Sensors, Stand-Alone Software], By Modality [Wired Intraoral Scanners, Wireless Intraoral Scanners], By Application [Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontic, Others], By End-user [Hospitals, Dental Clinics, Ambulatory Care Centers, Others], By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017-2031F

Global intraoral scanners market is projected to witness a CAGR of 10.74% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 585.62 million in 2023 to USD 1,324.51 million in 2031. During the forecast period, the market will likely thrive faster due to increasing dental problems, a growing geriatric population, advancements in scanner technology, and rising awareness of oral hygiene.

Intraoral scanners are advanced digital devices used in dentistry to capture detailed 3D images of patients' teeth and gums. Using optical technology, these scanners create precise digital impressions of the mouth, replacing the older methods of physical mold impressions. The process is quite faster and more comfortable for patients than the traditional methods, leading to a more delightful experience. The rising awareness of oral health, increased burden of dental diseases, growing acceptance of digital solutions, and the increasing geriatric population contribute to the higher demand for intraoral scanners in the dentistry industry. Rising awareness about oral health has encouraged more individuals to seek regular dental care, which leads to an increased demand for precise diagnostic tools and an escalating burden of dental diseases that require more accurate and faster methods of diagnosing and treating them. Increased awareness of digital solutions has also contributed to intraoral scanners' market growth. 

Additionally, the rising geriatric population, coupled with higher susceptibility rates to dental problems, has profusely heightened the demand for dental diagnostics and treatment methods. For instance, in 2020, there were more people above 60 years of age than children under five years of age. As per the United Nations' Decade of Healthy Ageing, India's elderly population was around 153 million in 2022, and by 2050, it is expected to reach 347 million.

Rising Incidences of Dental Issues Drive Market Growth

A rise in dental problems, like caries and periodontal diseases, is significantly boosting the intraoral scanners market by increasing the demand for diagnostic devices that are more accurate and efficient. As dental professionals seek to enhance patient outcomes and streamline workflow, the need for intraoral scanners to make accurate digital impressions and enhance treatment planning has become very important. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that in 2022, around 3.5 billion people globally suffered from various oral conditions, of which 2 billion were affected by dental caries. The four most common oral disorders identified by the WHO are dental cavities, gum diseases, oral cancer, and tooth loss.  The Adult Dental Health Survey (ADHS) conducted in the United Kingdom projected an increase in people suffering from gum tissue-related diseases from 25.7 million in 2020 to nearly 28 million by the year 2050. Therefore, they enhance the demand for diagnostic tools that provide more efficient and accurate results.

Rising Advancements in Scanner Technology Drive Market Growth

Advancements in intraoral scanner technology greatly foster the market, as advanced comfort and experience for the patient are promoted. With advances in optical technologies, innovative scanners have increased their accuracy and precision by capturing detailed 3D images of the oral cavity. In addition, new models have higher scanning speeds and are ergonomically designed to suit the dental practitioner better. Also, intraoral scanners are now wireless, thus providing better mobility and ease around the dental office.

For instance, in April 2024, Medit Corp. launched the Medit i900, a third-generation optical engine that enhances scanning accuracy and gives vivid shades, thus producing realistic images of the oral environment. Besides technological improvement, Medit Corp. has also thought about design and has worked on making the i900 lighter and smaller for an easy and more comfortable scanning experience.           

Dominance of Wireless Modality in the Intraoral Scanners Market

The reason wireless intraoral scanners hold a major market share includes convenience and mobility, enhanced features with technological advancement, and increased comfort to the patient. Improved portability by its ergonomic design makes it easier to use and reduces the physical strain on the practitioner. Advanced imaging technology provides higher accuracy with better quality images. Integration with other digital dental technologies allows seamless workflow and practice efficiency. In September 2023, Neoss Group, a leading innovator, announced the launch of NeoScan 2000, which is a wireless intraoral scanner. This wireless scanner is easy to use, ergonomic, and has an extended battery. The scanner can enhance the efficiency and precision of dental practice. Similarly, in October 2023, 3Shape A/S introduced the TRIOS 5 wireless intraoral scanner, which is their smallest and lightest intraoral scanner. Its compact size makes it easier to install in dental practices. It delivers high-standard and better-quality images.

North America Dominates Intraoral Scanners Market

North America is likely to dominate the market due to a robust dental industry that has shown a great adoption rate of advanced technologies and major investments in health infrastructure. Moreover, the growing awareness of oral health amongst the youth adds to the region's dominance. Increasing cases of dental diseases are one of the main factors that shall make North America lead in the global intraoral scanners market. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that in 2023, about 65% of adults in the United States had dental exams, and nearly all Americans experienced tooth decay in their lifetime. The percentage of untreated cavities—about twice that of working-age adults with private insurance, at 18%—was 43% for working-age adults who lacked health insurance. This has greatly enhanced the growth of the North American intraoral scanner industry with the high prevalence of oral diseases.

Future Market Scenario (2024-2031F)

The future of intraoral scanners seems to be quite promising with technological advancements. The devices promise to raise efficiency and comfort in patients to a decent extent. For instance, Align Technology, Inc., in January 2024, introduced the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner featuring a 3x wider field of view in an all-new compact design. This new scanner is faster and allows greater accuracy and better visualization, finally providing patients with a much more comfortable experience.

Integration with digital systems and software will further drive the market in terms of better workflow efficiency. For instance, in May 2024, Dental Imaging Technologies Corporation, also known as Dexis, introduced the Dexis Ti2 Sensor, an advanced intraoral sensor with high-resolution imaging and proactive monitoring features and an AI-driven detection capability for dental findings.
