Market Trends of Dental Impression Systems Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Dental Impression Systems Market according to our research experts:
The Intraoral Scanners Segment is Expected to Grow Over the Forecast Period
The intraoral scanners segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the rise in dental diseases and sure in dental impressions adoption due to the high demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures. Intraoral scanners are used for capturing direct optical impressions in dentistry. To avoid the final restoration issues, it is much needed to reproduce the intraoral condition as accurately as possible. Making an impression then is considered uncomfortable for the patient and time-consuming for clinicians, but with advancements in technology, such as computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), things got in better shape.
In addition, the rise in research studies demonstrating the use of intraoral scanners, especially in orthodontics is anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per an article published in January 2022 in PubMed, while examining comfort following conventional impressions (Polyvinyl Siloxane or alginate) and intraoral scanning, patients stated that the impressions with digital methods and alginate were, statistically, more comfortable than those taken with Polyvinyl Siloxane.
Moreover, product launches, collaboration, and strategic acquisitions by the key players are anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, 3Shape introduced TRIOS 5 Wireless, a completely new, state-of-the-art intraoral scanner designed to make it easier than ever for dentists to go digital with their dentistry. TRIOS 5 Wireless makes scanning smoother and faster with its all-new ScanAssist intelligent alignment technology that comes housed in a redesigned compact and hygienically optimized scanner to deliver the highest standard in imaging performance and infection control.
Similarly, in September 2022, Neoss Group's new intraoral scanner, NeoScan 1000, was launched during the company's Neoss Integrate 2022 in Zurich. This easy-to-use, accurate, compact, and lightweight intraoral scanner provides a flexible workflow with open files, making the output easy to share amongst the dental team. Hence, such intraoral scanner launches are anticipated to increase product availability across the globe and thus boost segment growth over the forecast period.
Hence, due to the rise in the adoption of intraoral scanners, and the increase in oral scanners product launches, the studied segment is likely to hold a significant share of the market over the forecast period.
North America is Anticipated to Witness a Growth in the Dental Impression Systems Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is anticipated to hold a significant market share in the dental impression systems market, owing to developed healthcare infrastructure, the rising burden of dental disease, and growing technological advancement in the region. For instance, according to the American Dental Association, update in November 2021, there were more than 5 million United States seniors aged 65 to 74 years who had complete tooth loss, with nearly 3 million edentulous. Thus, tooth loss is a common problem among the geriatric population, thereby driving the market.
An increase in product launches, strategic collaborations, and partnerships by the key players is anticipated to increase the demand for dental impression systems over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2021, Carestream Dental LLC introduced CS ScanFlow v1.0.3, which reduced the steps in the scanning process, protected data, and made patient engagement easier. CS ScanFlow is the advanced software that powers the CS 3700 intraoral scanner and is also available for the CS 3600 intraoral scanner. Similarly, in April 2021, Canadian Families Minister Rochelle Squires publicized that the government of Manitoba was likely to spend over USD 32 million dollars to extend its agreement with the provincial dental association for three additional years. Hence, such healthcare expenditures in dentistry are anticipated to increase investments in dental impression systems, thereby driving market growth over the forecast period.
Hence, due to the increase in dental diseases, and the rise in product launches, North America is likely to hold a significant share of the market over the forecast period.
