U.S. Dental X-ray Market Size To Reach $1.42 Billion By 2030

U.S. Dental X-ray Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. dental X-ray market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.42 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing dental tourism industry influences the market, where patients from other countries visit the U.S. for dental treatments. This has led to increased demand for advanced dental equipment and technologies. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report published in 2019, around 65.6% of people 65 years of age and older, 64.0% of individuals 18 to 64 years of age, and 86.9% of children between the ages of 2 and 17 had visited a dentist at least once. Dental fillings, bonding treatments, maxillofacial procedures, crowns, and root canals are the principal procedures performed during routine exams. Regular dental checkups are therefore expected to support the market's expansion in the U.S.

The increasing geriatric population in the U.S. has led to an increased prevalence of age-related dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. This demographic shift results in a higher demand for dental services, including X-rays, to address the growing dental needs of the aging population. Dental X-rays play a crucial role in identifying dental issues at an early stage, such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Early detection allows for timely intervention and prevention, reducing the need for complex and expensive treatments in the future. This growing demand for early detection and prevention contributes to the growth of the market.

Government actions, company mergers, and regulatory changes that encourage the adoption of digital X-ray systems in dentistry, rather than traditional film-based methods, are boosting the growth of the market. For instance, in September 2021, Planmeca Oy from Finland bought the KaVo treatment unit & instrument business from Envista Holdings Corporation in the U.S., enhancing their product offerings and dental solutions. The advantages of these digital X-ray techniques in dentistry contribute to expanding the market.
