Intraoral Scanners Market Dynamics
Driver: Technological advancements in intraoral scanners
The intraoral scanners and software can be used in the detection and objective monitoring of oral diseases such as caries, tooth wear, or periodontal diseases. Recent technological advancements include caries detection technology, enhanced accuracy of digital impressions, and a decrease in the weight of the scanning wand. For prosthesis fabrication, intraoral scanners enhance the accuracy of an impression and are time efficient with minimal irregularities. In implantology, the intraoral scanners can be used for guided surgery, the creation of custom abutments, or screw-retained crowns, which can be used for the precise placement of implant roots.
Restraint: High cost of intraoral scanners and dental procedures
The average cost of one intraoral scanner can go up to USD 50,000. Due to this, most small and medium-sized dental businesses are unable to invest in intraoral scanners.
Additionally, most dental procedures are offered at a high cost, especially in developed countries. For instance, most of the insurance providers in developed regions across North America and Europe consider dental implants a cosmetic product. Hence, they provide minimal or no reimbursements for dental implants. Therefore, patients must bear the major portion of the cost, with little support from insurance coverage. Because of this, patients' decision to opt for treatment largely depends on their ability to afford it. This is a major factor restricting the adoption of technologically advanced solutions in developed countries leading to becoming a restraint for the adoption of intraoral scanners due to high cost.
Opportunity: Potential for growth in emerging countries
China, Japan, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and India are some of the emerging markets for intraoral scanner systems. In most of these geographies, the market is in a primitive stage.
The high growth potential of these markets can be attributed to their expanding middle-class population and increasing income levels. There is a rapid increase in the incidence of dental disorders, evolving the infrastructure of oral healthcare as well as an inclination to spend more on dental treatments due to the increase in disposable incomes as well as the increasing awareness of oral health is expected to attribute to the increasing demand of the intraoral scanners.
For instance, In Asia, by 2030, it is expected that 66% of the population will be the middle-class population. In countries such as China and India, the rise in purchasing power has enabled people to avail high-cost and advanced diagnostic treatments.
Challenge: Dearth of trained dental practitioners
There is a shortage of dental professionals in countries which is becoming a challenge due to the rapid increase in dental disease burden. There is a rise in incidences of dental caries and gum issues. For instance, according to the National Health Resources And Services Administration, by 2030, the US will be facing a shortage of 4,000 dentists, which will become a challenge.

Among end users, Dental Hospitals and Clinics occupy the largest share of the intraoral scanners industry in 2022.
Dental hospitals and clinics occupy the largest share of the intraoral scanners market. This can be attributed to an increasing number of dental practices, rising dental expenditure, growing patient population, and rising demand for dental tourism, especially in developing countries. Dental tourism is a growing and emerging phenomenon that is becoming more attractive due to its potential for decreased expenses, increased convenience, and immediacy of treatment.
Among applications, orthodontics occupies the largest share of the intraoral scanners industry in 2022
The increasing incidences of malocclusions, rising demand for clear aligners, and rising disposable incomes are attributing to the growth of this segment of the intraoral scanners market. The orthodontic laboratories are adopting the use of intraoral scanners for taking impressions as it is time efficient and provides the impressions with accuracy. The use of intraoral scanners in orthodontics enhances the diagnosis as well as helps in better treatment planning by making it easy to transfer the data.
North America was the largest market in the world for intraoral scanners industry in 2022
In 2022, North America has occupied the largest share of the intraoral scanners market globally. The major factor that is attributing to the growth of this region can be the growing prevalence of oral diseases. For instance, according to the Centers for disease control and Prevention, in 2020, about 47% of people who are age 30 have periodontal disease. While other factors include rising awareness of oral diseases and increasing support from the government.
