Dental imaging
Dental imaging is performed at the dental clinics and dental laboratories for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health diseases. This market is driven by several factors which include technological advancements, increasing aging populations, rising awareness and increasing disposable income in emerging economies,growing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and shift towards advanced digital dental imaging systems. The relatively untapped developing countries and increasing incidence of dental disorders opened an array of opportunities for growth of the market. However, high cost of instruments, lack of reimbursement, and lack of dental laboratory technicians are expected to restrain the growth of this market. The global dental imaging market is expected to reach $2,686.5million by 2019 from $1,691.1million in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2014 to 2019. The market is segmented on the basis of technology, method, application, enduser, and geography. On the basis of technology, the dental imaging market is segmented into X-ray systems, dental CBCT, intraoral cameras and dental optical imaging. In 2014, the X-ray systems segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global market, by technology. The high share can be attributed to the extensive use of X-Ray systems for essential dental screening conditions such as periodontal diseases, tooth decay, dental abscess, and erosion of tooth enamel. The X-ray market is further divided into digital X-ray systems and analog X-ray systems. The market by method is bifurcated into extraoral imaging and intraoral imaging. The extraoral imagingmarket is poised to witness the highest growth in the market,owing to the larger application areas of high end dental imaging systems. The market, by end user is divided into into dental clinics, dental laboratories, dental academic and research institutes, and forensic laboratories.
