USIE CBCT Dental Imaging Market Share Analysis
In the last ten years, there has been an incredible advancement in dentistry called Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), and it's changing how dentists diagnose and plan treatments. This technology is like a super-advanced X-ray that gives a detailed 3D view of the teeth and jaw. Looking ahead, we're expecting a big boost in the dental industry globally because more and more people, no matter their age, will need various dental treatments, from fixing cavities to improving the appearance of their teeth for a better smile.
The key players in the dental market are working on making CBCT even more powerful. They're focusing on adding features like virtual treatments, simulations, and new options for guided surgery. Some exciting applications are in the works, like adding a video element to show how the teeth come together when you bite. This will provide advanced information for cases where dental restorations are needed, like implants and bridges. The technology used to create 3D images is also getting better. Companies like Carestream Dental are constantly improving their software to make the images look more realistic. This isn't just for show—it helps dentists explain diagnoses and proposed treatments better to patients, making them more likely to agree to the suggested procedures.
CBCT is also going to team up with orthodontics (the branch of dentistry that deals with the alignment of teeth) and models. This partnership will help orthodontists make better predictions about how a person's teeth will grow in the future. The demand for dental procedures is growing worldwide, and even in developing countries, there's a lot of progress in dental technology. All of these factors will create more and more opportunities in the near future, and the CBCT market is expected to see significant growth in both the number of procedures done and their overall value.
Flat panel detectors currently dominate the market when it comes to detector types, holding an impressive 88% market share in 2015. The expectation is that this dominance will continue to grow, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.4%, reaching a substantial value of USD 743 Million by 2023. On the other hand, image intensifiers, accounting for less than 12% of the market share in 2015, are anticipated to reach USD 74.3 Million by 2023, growing at a comparatively lower CAGR of 5.2%. This decrease in the use of image intensifiers is mainly attributed to a decline in image quality, leading to a reduction in their market share.
