Cone Beam Computed Tomography Market Analysis

The cone-beam computed tomography market is projected to register a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period (2022-2027).  

The COVID-19 outbreak is an unprecedented health concern and has significantly impacted the market. To prevent people from clogging up hospital emergency rooms, the American Dental Association (ADA), the largest dental organization in the country, advised dental offices to postpone elective dental procedures until April 6, 2020, and only offer emergency dental care. Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, the ADA amended this guideline on April 1, 2020, advising offices to remain closed to all but urgent and emergency procedures until at least April 30. Access to dental care consequently significantly diminished. A poll conducted by the ADA Health Policy Institute during the week of March 23, 2020, revealed that 76% of the dental offices questioned were closed but only treating emergency patients, 19% were fully closed, and 5% were open but seeing fewer patients. Additionally, according to an August 2020 report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States essentially shut down about 198,000 practicing dentists and dental specialists. Even though dental services have been restarted in many regions after 2020, there was still a fear of infection among the public even in 2021, which hampered the market growth in 2020 and 2021 However, the market opened up after 2021. Thus, the market is expected to grow in the future.

The cone-beam computed tomography market will show rapid growth due to the increasing cases of dental disorders, advancements in technology, and expanding application areas of CBCT systems. Dental diseases are the most common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and affect people throughout their lifetime. According to a March 2022 update from the World Health Organization (WHO), untreated dental caries in permanent teeth is the most frequent health condition that demonstrates a significant burden of oral diseases internationally. Nearly 3.5 billion individuals are anticipated to be affected by oral diseases worldwide. Dental caries is a global health concern, and it is projected that the prevalence of dental caries in primary and permanent teeth worldwide is quite high at 46.2% and 53.8%, respectively, according to a research report by Nguyen Van Chuyen et al. that was published in July 2021. The increasing prevalence of dental disorders and the rising of the geriatric population are found to be the major factors for the growth of the cone-beam computed tomography market in the forecasted period.

In addition to this, there is the adoption of advanced cone beam computed tomography extremity scanner that has increased in dental and orthopedic areas due to their specialized requirement for the human imaging diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, the key players in the market are expected to make heavy investments for the research projects, which is projected to ensure the growth of the market.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the report, cone beam computed tomography is found to be a medical imaging modality characterized by divergent X-ray. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging modality that has high clinical applications in the field of dentistry. The usage of cone-beam computed tomography has been widening through the years and is dominantly deemed useful in diagnosis and treatment planning of implant dentistry, endodontics, ENT, maxillofacial surgeries and others. Integrated CBCT is also used in patient positioning during surgical procedures. The Cone Beam Computed Tomography Market is Segmented by Application, (Dental Applications (Orthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontics, General Dentistry, and Others), and Other Applications), Patient Position (Standing/Seated Position, Seated Position, and Supine Position), End-User (Hospitals, Imaging Centers, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions, globally. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
