Phosphor Plate Scanners Market Analysis

The phosphor plate scanners market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period, 2022-2027.

COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the phosphor plate scanners market. The strict lockdowns and government regulations intended to slow down the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a decrease in the diagnosis of dental disorders. During the pandemic due to lockdown restrictions, people did not want to visit dental clinics or hospitals for dental problems. For instance, according to an article titled 'Dental radiographic procedures during COVID-19 outbreak and normalization period: recommendations on infection control' published in the journal of National Library of Medicine in June 2020 a study was conducted which stated that intraoral radiography transmission of the disease is possible through either direct contact with saliva or cross-contamination. Cross-contamination may also occur when the clinician handles the digital sensors or opens film packets, as a result of which patients' visits to dental diagnostic centers decreased during the pandemic. Furthermore, as per an article titled 'COVID-19 and beyond: implications for dental radiography' published in the journal of National Library of Medicine in July 2020 in United Kingdom all routine dental care ceased from 25th March 2020 and the avoidance of intraoral radiographs during COVID-19 has been recommended due to the potential of inducing a patient aerosol. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the market's growth adversely in its preliminary phase; however, the market is expected to gain traction as the pandemic subsides eventually.

Further, rising geriatric population and increasing prevalence of dental disorders, and technological advancements in the development of phosphor plate scanners are among the major factors driving the growth of the studied market. Dental restoration needs to be done to restore lost teeth or section of teeth lost due to teeth decay. Increasing need of these dental restoration procedures is expected to increase the demand for phosphor plate scanners.

Moreover, as per the data by United Nations (UN) in 2022 the population of older persons is increasing both in numbers and as a share of the total, the share of the global population aged 65 years or above is projected to rise from 10 percent in 2022 to 16 percent in 2050 and also by 2050, the number of persons aged 65 years or over worldwide is projected to be more than twice the number of children under age 5 and about the same as the number of children under age 12. According to World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2021, between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12 percent to 22 percent. Therefore, with the rising geriatric population worldwide the prevalence of dental disorders is also expected to increase which will create a demand phosphor plate scanner and this is poised to accelerate the phosphor plate scanners market globally, thereby driving the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.

In addition, new product launches and strategic activities by major players in the market are positively affecting the growth of the studied market. For instance, in September 2021, Air Techniques, Inc., a leading innovator, and manufacturer of dental equipment, provided a first look at its new SensorX Intraoral Sensor and ScanX Duo Touch Phosphor Plate Scanner at CDA Presents in San Francisco, CA, United States. Additionally, in November 2021, DÜRR DENTAL SE announced that new study has proved that powerful intraoral suction systems enable effective spray mist suction and therefore improve infection protection while using dental phosphor plate scanners. Thus, owing to the product launches and other developments the studied market is expected to have significant growth over the forecast period.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the high cost of phosphor plate scanners and lack of skilled professionals are likely to impede market growth.

Phosphor Plate Scanners Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the report, the phosphor plate scanner is a scanner for reading intraoral phosphor plates (PSP). The plates are used as receptors for radiographies obtained with an X-Ray unit. Once the take is done, the PSP is introduced into the scanner's slot, which reads it and sends the image to the PC. The phosphor plate scanners market is segmented by application (medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, and other applications), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
