Report Preview

The global CBCT scanner market size was valued at USD 477.0 million in 2021 and is projected to reach around USD 1,200.0 million in 2030 exhibiting a CAGR of 10.0% in the forecasted period. The increasing oral disease coupled with research studies and initiatives by key market players are expected to increase the market growth. On the other hand, high cost of innovative imaging technology and rigorous regulations about X-ray exposure in several nations are some restraining factors limiting the growth. The cost of cone beam computed tomography device is significantly high, typically around US$ 100,000. However, cone beam imaging in U.S. ranges from USD 150 to USD 700 per scan.

The increasing numbers of the dental implants are fuelling the growth of CBCT scanner market. As per the American Academy of Implant dentistry, the prosthetic and dental implant market in the U.S. is anticipated to reach up to USD 6.4 billion by 2018. More than 5 million dental implants procedure are performed in the U.S. every year. Dental implants are typically accepted through permanent tooth replacement. CBCT aids to recognize the characterization of anatomy, finding out certain irregularities throughout dental implants and probability rate to acceptance of new dental implants by imaging. CBCT thus supports to make procedure more cooperative and easy to accept by dental professionals. Accordingly, owing to the high price, high risk of radiation exposure and trouble adjusting availability with traditional computed tomography, CBCT notches more over conventional tomography.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an intense impact on the CBCT scanner market, majorly in the initial phases, as the imaging performs were closed as a cautionary guideline. The strict social distancing guidelines have an impact on dental care practices and imaging techniques. According to the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute (HPI), the dental services were permitted for only emergency cases in the initial phase of the pandemic. As per the American Dental Association (ADA), the dental processes that required to be postponed incorporated dental X-ray procedures. However, the number of cone beam CT processes was limited, CBCT was used in the primary diagnosis of COVID-19 in cancer patients. Cancer patients characterize a vulnerable population throughout the pandemic. Chest CT plays a vital role in the detection of COVID-19 pneumonia. Cancer patients availing radiation therapy required to undertake daily CBCT for image-guided radiation therapy.

Application Insights

By application, the CBCT scanner market is bifurcated into endodontics, orthopaedics, dental implants, orthodontics, general dental surgery, oral surgery, among others. The general dental surgery segment is predicted to provide maximum share by 2030.  With the increasing incidence of periodontal diseases and tooth decays, the dental cone-beam computed tomography market share is growing. As per the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), gum disease is associated with severe difficulties amongst COVID-19 patients.

End User Insights

In terms of end user, the CBCT scanner market is segmented into hospitals, private practices, and academic & research institutes. The academic and research institutes segment is estimated to showcase a favourable growth rate during the evaluation timeframe, owing to the transformed interest of scientists in medical imaging technologies. Investments and funding actions in the field have been achieving traction since the eruption of the coronavirus pandemic, prompted by the spiralling mortality rate among patients suffering from chronic disorders. 

Region Insights

In 2021, North America dominated with the largest share of more than 45.0% owing to the factors such as availability of independent clinics, preventive method towards dental care and hygiene, and increasing R&D activities in digital imaging. The U.S. federal funding for Medicare & Medicaid is expected to drive the demand for digital imaging in dental care as patients need to pay less expenses out-of-pocket. In the US, more than 5 million seniors aged 65 to 74 had overall tooth loss, with nearly 3 million being edentulous, as per the American Dental Association 2020. However, tooth loss mainly affects older people. This is because 91% of adults between the ages of 20 and 64 have dental caries, with an astonishing 27% not getting treatment. Furthermore, tooth decay is normally a factor in tooth loss. Teeth gradually get loose and fall out as a result.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period concerning to the increasing number of clinics, rising R&D in business, and growing awareness about dental care. In Asia Pacific, the healthcare organization is increasing with technological advancements. Various governments of nations, comprising India and China, are announcing initiatives to spread awareness about oral care and hygiene.
