Intraoral Cameras Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Intraoral Wand, Single Lens Reflex), By Technology (USB Camera, Fiber Optic Camera), By End-use (Hospital, Dental Clinic), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global intraoral cameras market size was valued at over USD 1.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing prevalence of dental caries is anticipated to drive the market. Furthermore, technological advancements in this field are anticipated to further boost the market growth. Traditional intraoral camera occupied space and was difficult to operate. Furthermore, the device was also expensive, costing around USD 40,000 per unit system. However, technological advancements in this field have led to the introduction of small and lightweight devices, which are easy to operate and relatively inexpensive (costing nearly USD 5,000). These benefits of technologically advanced devices are anticipated to boost the market growth.

The increasing number of dental procedures, raising awareness, and demand for surgical services for dental care are fueling the growth of the market for intraoral cameras. In addition, favorable government initiatives regarding oral hygiene are a significant factor that is leading to the adoption of dental treatment. As per The Center for Disease Control and Prevention data, periodontal disease is largely prevalent in the U.S. Tooth decay and cavities are one of the most common causes of oral disease in adults and children worldwide. This is increasing the need for a routine oral checkup, thereby boosting the market growth.

With an alarmingly increasing number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, countries had effectively shut down their manufacturing plants which have negatively impacted the medical device manufacturing companies. This resulted in a supply constraint for dental imaging equipment manufacturers which also included intraoral camera manufacturers.

Moreover, according to Oral Health Group, in March, regulators and health authorities had ordered all dental offices to immediately stop seeing patients, except for emergency treatment resulting in office closures leading to unprecedented revenue declines across the sector. However, the American Dental Association also predicts spending projections to be more optimistic in the future due to dental practices opening and patient volume recovering faster than anticipated.

Product Insights

The intraoral wand segment dominated the market for intraoral cameras and held the largest revenue share of 71.5% in 2020. The intraoral wand has excellent visualization and clarity due to its ability to be used inside the mouth which makes it effective in reaching posterior areas of the mouth. The camera also has a high magnification capability due to its high-intensity light source. Owing to such factors, the intraoral wand segment accounted for the largest revenue share.

Based on the product, the market for intraoral cameras has been segmented into the intraoral wand and single-lens reflex. The single-lens reflex segment is anticipated to grow lucratively over the forecast period. The cost of a single-lens reflex is much lesser and hence the product is economical. These cameras are used in various applications owing to their high-quality images. Many dental photography professionals use digital single-lens reflexes to expand their camerawork.

Technology Insights

The fiber optic camera segment dominated the market for intraoral cameras and accounted for the largest revenue share of 37.4% in 2020. The segment is expected to dominate over the forecast period. The system delivers the highest image quality due to its high-end optical system. Based on technology, the market is segmented into USB cameras, fiber-optic cameras, wireless cameras, and others.

The USB camera segment has been anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period owing to its features such as lightweight, in-built light source, portable, and connectivity. However, certain drawbacks of using a USB camera are the system’s compatibility with selected software programs only and the image quality may not be idle for endo procedures.

End-use Insights

The dental clinics segment dominated the market for intraoral cameras and held the largest revenue share of 77.9% in 2020. The segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period due to the availability of specialized physicians. Moreover, rising patients’ preference for diagnosis and treatment at dental clinics and an increase in several dental clinics due to the rise in several specialists are expected to drive the segment in the forecast period.

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals, dental clinics, and others. Specialists at dental clinics use highly proficient devices and instruments, which ultimately augment the demand for intraoral cameras. Besides, better resources at dental clinics as compared to hospitals are also increasing the importance of dental clinics.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the intraoral camera market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.8% in 2020. The high prevalence of oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis, and periodontics are some of the major factors contributing to the growth of the market in this region. In addition, an increase in technologically advanced healthcare infrastructure and a rise in the number of dental clinics in the developed regions of North America is expected to create growth opportunities for the market.

In Asia Pacific, the market for intraoral cameras is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period. The growing medical sector in developing economies is driving the market in the region. An increase in demand for oral hygiene and growing dental and medical tourism in the region is also expected to propel market growth.
