The global cone beam computed tomography market size is expected to reach USD 1,217.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by a rise in the volume of digital imaging procedures, especially in the field of dentistry. Dental surgeries and other diagnostic imaging fields are undergoing a digital transformation process with intraoral optical scanners, 3D imaging technologies, and software applications designed for smooth operations of the imaging devices.
Cone beam CT imaging is performed with the help of a rotating platform with the X-ray source and detector and uses a single flat panel. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) produces a cone beam of radiation instead of a fan beam. The entire scanning process of the target area is done in a single rotation, hence reducing the radiation exposure significantly. These highly accurate, low radiation dose, and small footprint CBCT systems have transformed daily clinical practices.
As per the American Cancer Society, about 35,000 cases of mouth, tongue, and throat cancers are diagnosed in the U.S. annually, with the average age of most people diagnosed with these cancers is over 60 years. According to the World Dental Federation, globally, about 30% of people aged 65 to 74 years have no natural tooth, and this burden is expected to increase with the aging of the population. The growing incidence rate of such oral diseases in this age group is likely to increase the demand for digital diagnostic imaging in the coming years.
