Market Dynamics: Drivers and Restraints 

The increasing prevalence of oral diseases is expected to drive market growth

According to the  World Health Organization (WHO) Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), almost 3.5 billion people around the world are affected by oral diseases. Among those affected, 75% of them live in middle-income countries. It is estimated that around 2 billion people globally suffer from caries of permanent teeth, while 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.

Oral diseases are becoming more common worldwide as cities grow and living conditions change. This is mainly because people are not getting enough fluoride from their water or dental products, and because unhealthy food with lots of sugar is more readily available and affordable. Additionally, many communities lack access to oral health care services. Advertising for sugary foods and drinks, tobacco, and alcohol has also contributed to an increase in oral health problems and other non-communicable diseases.

Therefore, intraoral cameras are crucial in meeting the demand for diagnosing and educating patients about oral health issues. Dentists rely on them to identify problems early and prevent further damage. More, intraoral cameras promote patient engagement, making them essential tools in addressing the increasing challenges of oral health globally.

Restraint:

High initial costs, limited reimbursement policies, lack of awareness, and competition from smartphone apps are the factors expected to hamper the market over the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

The global intraoral cameras market is segmented based on type, product, software type, application, end-user and region.

The intraoral wand from the type segment accounted for approximately 55.6% of the intraoral cameras market share

The intraoral wand is a dental imaging tool that specializes in capturing detailed images of the oral cavity, specifically teeth and gums. It is designed to be slim and handheld, making it comfortable for both dental practitioners and patients during image capture.

Using the intraoral wand has many benefits, including enhanced diagnostic capabilities, immediate visualization of oral conditions for patients, improved communication between dentists and patients, and the ability to seamlessly integrate images into patient records. It is an essential tool in preventive dentistry, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Additionally, intraoral cameras such as the intraoral wand are becoming more popular due to various factors. These include a greater focus on patient engagement and education, an increased need for preventive dental care, a rise in the use of teledentistry and telehealth, the competitive benefits it provides for dental practices, and the global issues related to oral diseases that require early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the intraoral wand enhanced patient care and dental practice efficiency for modern dental professionals.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 39.6% of the market share in 2022

North America is expected to hold the largest market share owing to the demand for dental procedures in the area has increased, due to strong demand from the population and the presence of technologically advanced dental clinics. This need has been further fueled by rising disposable incomes growing awareness of dental hygiene, and acquisition by market players, as well as the presence of key players in the region.

For instance, on April 20, 2022, Envista Holdings Corporation acquired Carestream Dental's Intraoral Scanner business. The business will be renamed DEXIS and will operate as part of the envista equipment and consumables segment.

Additionally, in 2021, Dentsply Sirona Inc. launched the CEREC Primemill intraoral scanner, allowing dentists to quickly capture high-quality 3D digital impressions. Hence, owing to the above factors, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the worldwide market for intraoral cameras. With the fear of virus transmission, lockdowns, and restrictions on non-essential medical services, there has been a decrease in patient visits to dental clinics. This has resulted in a sharp decline in routine dental check-ups and elective procedures, which in turn has led to a significant decrease in the demand for intraoral cameras that are typically used during these examinations and procedures.

As a result, dental professionals have had to prioritize emergency and essential dental treatments while postponing non-essential or elective procedures. Many dental treatments that typically involve intraoral camera usage, such as cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics, were delayed or deferred during the pandemic.

The pandemic has caused an increase in the use of telehealth and teledentistry. Though intraoral cameras are useful in person, they are not as helpful in remote consultations. Because of this, virtual platforms are now being used for routine check-ups and consultations, reducing the need for intraoral cameras. Furthermore, dental practices that were financially impacted or had fewer patients during the pandemic may have postponed purchasing or upgrading intraoral cameras, which has affected the market sales.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the intraoral cameras market include Dentsply Sirona, Carestream Dental LLC, PLANMECA OY, Midmark Corporation, KaVo Dental, SOTA Imaging, Air Techniques, Acteon, I.C.LERCHER-Solutions GmbH, and Sync Vision among others.
