The worldwide market for dental imaging equipment is forecast to reach $8.9 billion in value by 2026, according to MarketsandMarkets market research firm. The anticipated growth is based on a CAGR of 7.7%. Increased usage in the segment is based on the increase in aging populations, poor lifestyles, including diet and being sedentary for long periods, and increase in oral health disease. At the same time, consumers are demonstrating greater awareness of oral health and options available for treatment. 

Dental imaging equipment markets are also boosted by an increase in investment into related technologies (CAD and CAM) in dental facilities. However, broad adoption may face financial barriers as dental imaging equipment can carry a high cost and procedures may not be reimbursed by patients’ insurance. 

The dental imaging equipment market is segmented in the report as diagnostic and therapeutic. Diagnostic equipment includes intra and extraoral imaging, and imaging software. Therapeutic equipment includes dental lasers, and dental operation and treatment equipment. The market report segments information including camera, lasers, diode lasers, CAD.CAM, dental chairs, dental units, casting machines, panoramic sensor, and handpieces.
