Intraoral Scanners Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Modality (Wired, Wireless), By Application (Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Endodontics), By End User (Dental Hospitals & Clinics, Dental Academic and Research Institutes), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Intraoral Scanners Market size was valued at USD 0.5 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 0.6 billion in 2023 to USD 1.38 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.02% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

A growing elderly population is expected to slow down the market growth as the older population is prone to dental diseases due to skeletal changes related to ageing, malnutrition, dental caries and teeth exposed tissue. Additionally, the National Population and Social Security Research Institute projects age 65 or older will account for 34.8% of the total population by 2040. Thus, there is a positive correlation between older people and an increase in tooth decay and other dental problems.

Thus, factors such as increasing incidence of dental diseases due to increasing aging population, approval of product launches and forecast periods may slow down the market growth. Independent professionals, lack proficiency and creation of internasal scanners in developing economies such as India and China may restrain the market growth. This has led to improved patient experience, reduced chair time, and enhanced precision in dental procedures. The market is witnessing a shift from traditional dental impression methods to digital scanning, driven by the benefits of faster turnaround time, improved workflow efficiency, and better treatment outcomes.
