Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global dental camera market– Drivers

Rise in prevalence of dental diseases

Rise in prevalence of dental diseases and demand for oral care boost the growth of the global dental camera market. For instance, on 8 June, 2023, according to a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO), In the Western Pacific Region, approximately 800 million individuals, which constitutes 42% of the population, experience oral health issues, including untreated dental caries, gum disease, and tooth loss. The region has the highest burden of tooth loss globally, with approximately 92 million individuals aged 20 and above missing all of its teeth.

Technological Advancements

Dental cameras have seen significant advancements in technology, such as higher resolution sensors, improved image quality, and enhanced connectivity options. These technological improvements attract dental professionals who seek more accurate and detailed images for diagnosis and treatment planning. For instance, in June 2021, MouthWatch, LLC, a teledentistry solutions and intraoral cameras, has launched its MouthWatch Plus+ HD intraoral camera during SmileCon 2021 in Las Vegas. The MouthWatch Plus+ offers true 1080p image resolution at a competitive price compared to other HD intraoral cameras in the market. It features rapid video display, accurate color rendition, adjustable LED lighting, and ergonomic design.

Global dental camera market: Restraints

Shortage of dental radiologists

Shortage of dental radiologists for imaging services is anticipated to restrain the global dental camera market. According to the data released by the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) in 2020, the U.K. does not have enough radiologists to meet imaging and diagnostic demand in the National Health Service (NHS). The U.K. has the least number of radiologists per person in any country in Europe, with a shortage of 1,000 radiologists.

To overcome this, government need to adopt supportive policies in order to increase the number of foreign dental practitioners in the country.
