Dental Digital X-ray Market by Product, Application & End User - 2020

The global dental digital X-ray market is projected to reach USD 3,290.6 Million by 2020 from USD 2,154.0 Million in 2015, at a CAGR of 8.8%. Factors such as technological advancements, growing geriatric population, ability of digital systems to reduce diagnosis time and improve image quality, growing adoption of CBCT systems, increase in dental disorders, and growing demand for cosmetic dentistry are the driving the digital X-ray market. On the other hand, factors such as high cost of dental digital X-rays and lack of reimbursements for dental care are restraining the growth of the digital X-ray imaging market.


Based on type, the dental digital X-ray market is segmented into intraoral X-ray systems, extraoral X-ray systems, and hybrid X-ray systems. Hybrid X-ray systems are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the advantages of hybrid systems such as minimum exposure to radiation, lower price of these systems as compared to high-end digital panoramic/cephalometric units, and technological advancements and rapid digitization in dentistry.
The intraoral X-ray systems market is segmented into PSP systems and digital sensors. The digital sensors segment accounted for the largest market share in 2015 and will continue to dominate the market in the forecast period. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the significant reduction in operating time and excellent-quality images obtained from these sensors as compared to PSP systems.

The extraoral X-ray systems market is categorized into panoramic/cephalometric systems and CBCT systems. The CBCT systems segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. High growth in this segment is primarily driven by the growing dental implants market and increase in the number of vendors offering CBCT units in the dental market.

Based on application, the dental digital X-ray market is segmented into diagnostic, therapeutic, cosmetic, and forensic applications. In 2015, the diagnostic applications segment accounted for the largest share of the global dental digital X-ray market. The rising prevalence of dental disorders, rise in geriatric population, increasing oral health awareness, and rising disposable incomes in developing economies such as China and India are likely to drive the demand for digital dental diagnosis.

Based on end user, the dental digital X-ray market is segmented into dental hospitals and clinics, dental academic and research institutes, and forensic laboratories. The dental hospitals and clinics segment accounted for the largest share of the market; this segment is also projected to witness the highest growth rate CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing number of dental clinics and hospitals and their rapid adoption of digital dental imaging systems is contributing to the growth of this end-user segment.


The global dental digital X-ray market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe. However, the market in Asia is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in the Asian market is driven by the rising geriatric population, focus of emerging and leading market players to expand their presence in developing Asian markets, rise in disposable incomes, less stringent regulatory guidelines, improving healthcare infrastructure, and growth in medical tourism in this region.
