The global 3D dental scanner market size is expected to be USD 48.63 million in 2021. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with 3D dental scanner experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is projected to touch USD 77.7 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.12% during the forecast period. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

In dentistry, 3D dental scanners are tools used to record direct optical imprints. The scanning item, such as the dental arches, prepared teeth, and implant scan bodies, is illuminated by a light source that is projected onto it. The scanning software processes the photos of the dent gingival tissues that these imaging sensors have collected and creates point clouds as a result. The same program then uses triangulation to create a 3D surface model from these point clouds. Orthodontists employ intraoral scanners to create 3D pictures of the soft tissue and teeth inside the mouth. In comparison to conventional methods, intraoral scanner pictures are of greater quality, leading to high-quality therapeutic outcomes.

COVID-19 Impact: Rise in Demand for Affordable and Efficient Digital Dentistry Equipment to Boost the Market

The market for 3D dental scanners has benefited from the COVID-19 pandemic. The cost of providing dental care could rise in the future as a result of the rise in demand for more efficient and affordable digital dentistry equipment. This demand increase could then boost the 3D dental scanners industry sector of dentistry and its flourishing engineering potentials through additional investment from key stakeholders and investors.

LATEST TRENDS

"Expansion in Discipline of Dentistry and Technical Advancements to Boost the Market"

Due to improvements in dental diagnostic imaging technology, there is likely to be an increase in the need for 3D dental scanners in the field of dental healthcare.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Growing Elderly Population to Propel the Market Growth"

Dental 3D scanners take pictures of the teeth using a laser or light source. The picture 4 generated by the 3D scanners is examined for subsequent use using a computer. A CAD/CAM system, a 3D printer, or both are used with these images to create precisely fitting prostheses and dentures.

A growing elderly population, an increase in the frequency of dental problems, and a rise in the need for dental procedures are some of the reasons driving the market.

"Rising Beauty Standards and Increased Disposable Money to Augment the Demands"

Increased disposable money and rising beauty standards are the main factors driving the increase in demand for cosmetic dentistry. As a result, there is currently a greater need worldwide for 3D dental scanning equipment.

Due to a significant growth in the number of patients selecting a variety of cosmetic dentistry operations, there is an increasing demand for accurate 3D dental scanners to reduce scanning times. As a result, the great majority of medical professionals are selecting cutting-edge 3D dental scanners and related tools.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Cost of Dental Imaging Equipment to Impede the Market"

The high cost of dental imaging equipment is one of the key obstacles preventing the market for dental 3D scanners from growing. The price of 3D dental scanning is significant, and the price of treatment may rise depending on the procedure, the quantity of 3D scanning required, and the necessary treatment.

Additionally, the bulk of dental diagnostic treatments are not covered by dental insurance. Due to patients' lack of knowledge on the whole cost of dental work, their out-of-pocket payments increase. The growth of the market throughout the predicted period may be slowed by these issues.
