The global dental imaging market size marked US$ 3.12 billion in 2024 and is forecast to experience consistent growth, reaching US$ 3.35 billion in 2025 and US$ 6.42 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 7.46%.
Technological Advancements: Innovations such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3D imaging, and digital radiography offer greater precision, faster results, and better treatment planning, driving market growth.
Introduction of Advanced Imaging Systems: Frequent launches of modern systems such as 3D CBCT, intraoral scanners, and digital radiography devices are enhancing diagnostic accuracy, boosting adoption among dental clinics and hospitals.
Dental imaging R&D involves several key steps, including developing new imaging technologies, enhancing existing ones, and applying them to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care.
Key Players: Midmark Corporation, Technologies Corporation, Dental Imaging
Dental imaging, including various X-ray methods, relies on proper packaging and serialization to maintain storage, identification, and traceability. X-ray films such as bitewing, periapical, and occlusal are carefully packaged to protect them from light and damage. Unique identifiers on film packets or digital images ensure accurate tracking and record-keeping, which is essential for patient safety, quality control, and efficient management of dental imaging data.
Key Players: Dentsply, Sirona, Planmeca, Acteon Trident
Dental imaging plays a vital role in dentistry by helping practitioners diagnose conditions and plan treatments with precision using tools such as digital X-rays, CBCT 3D imaging, and intraoral cameras. These technologies enhance diagnostic accuracy, support effective treatment planning, and improve patient communication, ultimately leading to better clinical outcomes and higher-quality patient care.
Key Players: Sirona, Carestream Dental, VATECH
In November 2024, at RSNA, Detection Technology, a leading provider of X-ray detector solutions, introduced an upgraded portfolio of 20 flat panel X-ray detectors aimed at improving medical imaging. The detectors offer high frame rates, excellent image quality at low radiation doses, and a wide dynamic range, supporting applications such as image-guided surgery, wireless radiography, fluoroscopy, oncology, and dental imaging. Tuomas Holma, Director of Product Management, stated that their surgical imaging solutions provide versatile options using both amorphous silicon (a-Si) and IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) detector technologies.
