The intraoral scanners market was valued at $969.4 million in 2023 and is estimated to reach $2,816.4 million by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.3% from 2024 to 2035. Intraoral scanners are digital devices that captures detailed images of the inside of a patient's mouth. This handheld device uses optical or laser technology to scan teeth and surrounding tissues, producing high-resolution digital impressions that aid in diagnostics, treatment planning, and fabrication of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and aligners. Intraoral scanners streamline dental workflows, improve patient comfort, and enhance accuracy, reducing errors associated with physical molds. Their digital outputs are compatible with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems, allowing dentists and dental labs to create customized solutions efficiently. This technology is rapidly replacing traditional dental impressions with a fast, non-invasive alternative.
The major factors that drive the growth of intraoral scanners market include increase in demand for precision in dental procedures, rise in prevalence of oral health problems, and technological advancements in intraoral scanners. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report, the prevalence of edentulism among adults increased from 1.2% at 35-49 years to 5.9% at 50-64 years, 11.4% at 65-74 years, and 19.7% at 75 years or older. Among adults 65 years or older, edentulism is more prevalent, highlighting a growing population requiring restorative dental care. Increase in demand for effective and precise dental interventions fuels the adoption of intraoral scanners, which enhance the accuracy of diagnostics and treatment planning, driving market growth.
Traditional impression techniques often result in inaccuracies, leading to the need for retakes and additional time in dental clinics. Intraoral scanners provide a digital solution that captures high-resolution images of a patient's oral cavity, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency in treatment planning. In addition, technological advancements in intraoral scanners further boosts market growth. The development of more sophisticated intraoral scanners, characterized by improved speed, portability, and user-friendliness, has made them more desirable and popular among dental practitioners. Modern scanners use advanced imaging technologies, such as 3D imaging and enhanced software algorithms, which facilitate seamless integration with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. This integration allows quicker turnaround times for restorations, making the workflow more efficient and enhancing patient satisfaction.
Technological progress plays a crucial role in boosting the widespread adoption of intraoral scanners. Moreover, rise in emphasis on minimally invasive procedures in dentistry propels the demand for intraoral scanners, thereby contributing toward market growth. As patients increasingly prefer treatments that minimize discomfort and recovery time, dental professionals are adopting digital scanning technologies that support minimally invasive techniques. Intraoral scanners enable dentists to create accurate digital impressions without the need for traditional molds, reducing patient discomfort and enhancing the overall experience.
However, the high initial cost associated with acquiring advanced intraoral scanning technology restricts market growth. Many dental practices, particularly smaller ones, struggle to invest in such expensive equipment, which limits market penetration and adoption of intraoral scanners. In addition, the cost of maintenance and frequent software updates put financial pressure on dental practices, making them less likely to invest in intraoral scanners and slowing adoption of intraoral scanners thereby restricts the market growth. On the other hand, increasing demand for digital dentistry solutions and high growth potential in emerging countries provides an opportunity for the market growth. As dental professionals increasingly recognize the benefits of digital workflows, including enhanced accuracy, improved patient experience, and streamlined processes, the adoption of intraoral scanners is expected to rise.
