1. The market is large and developing
The emergence of new dental technology has brought new changes to the dental industry. The traditional diagnosis of teeth and production processes have changed. The addition of new dental scanners has made their workflow more efficient.
So, what about the market for dental lab scanners? Will it be one of the essential equipment for the dental industry in the future?
According to TechNoNavio’s forecast, the 3D dental scanner market share is expected to increase to $689.59 million from 2021 to 2026, and the market growth momentum will accelerate at a CAGR of 11.43%. This means that the market for dental laboratory scanners will continue to expand.
2. The reasons of developing
Significant increase in people's affordability
With the continuous development of the economy, people’s income continues to increase, and their spending power also increases. The cost of a dental laboratory scanner is not very high and does not affect any laboratory purchasing it.
At the same time, the time saved in the production of teeth allows the laboratory to reach more customers. Digital scanning can avoid waste of many materials, and digital impressions capture clear, highly accurate impression data, avoiding inaccuracies.
These convenience factors are all expected to drive the growth of the dental laboratory scanner market over the forecast period.
Dental tourism is growing rapidly
Because of the economic development, dental clinics or laboratories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia will be the first to have the ability to purchase dental digital equipment, but also, the cost of dental treatment is very expensive, and people need to spend a lot of money to get it treated.
In order to reduce the cost of treatment, more and more patients choose to travel abroad for treatment, and transfer from developed countries to some developing countries. The treatment is the same, but the cost is lower.
This means that the market for dental laboratory scanners will rapidly expand globally, not just in certain regions.
3. What benefits labs and dealers?
For medical device resellers, this is a fleeting opportunity to help them expand their product lines while finding more new clients.
