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- Regional Analysis
Among region, North America is expected to lead the dental equipment market due to factors like the growing prevalence of dental diseases. Advanced technologies like lasers, intra-oral cameras, digital radiography, and Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems are driving market growth in the region. For instance, according to the Early Release of Selected Estimates Based on Data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey, published in August 2021, approximately 63% of adults aged 18 years or older in the U.S. Visited the dentist in 2020. This significant proportion of dental visits creates a demand for dental equipment for check-ups and treatments, leading to anticipated growth in the global dental camera market.
Global dental camera market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding transportation of drugs from one place to another.
However, the global dental camera market has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in its early stages. For instance, to prevent patients from overtaxing hospital emergency rooms, the American Dental Association (ADA), the largest dental association in the U.S., recommended in March 2020 that dental offices delay elective dental procedures until April 6, 2020, and only offer emergency dental care. The global dental market was severely affected during the peak of the pandemic, with many dental practices closing down or limiting services due to lockdowns and other restrictions. However, demand for wireless intraoral cameras recovered in 2021, as dental practices reopened for business.
The implementation of wireless intraoral cameras in dental settings can mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission by allowing dentists to obtain detailed images of a patient\'s mouth without close physical contact.
