The intraoral/iol scanners market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for intraoral/IOL scanners has seen a robust growth lately. It is predicted to expand from a value of $0.68 billion in 2024 to $0.74 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.
The unprecedented growth during the historical period is due to the increasing adoption of digital dentistry, greater emphasis on oral health, a surge in periodontal disease cases, the need for chairside solutions, an increase in orthodontic treatment, and a rising demand for clear aligners.
The intraoral/iol scanners market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for a robust expansion of the intraoral/IOL scanners market in the coming years, with projections putting the market size at $1.04 billion in 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
This anticipated growth throughout the forecast period can be credited to several factors such as the increasing popularity of aesthetic dentistry, the broadening application of telehealth and remote consultations, heightened attention to workflow efficiency, the rise in digital orthodontics, and an increase in dental disorders. Key trends predicted to influence this period include the advent of wireless scanners, transparent aligners, 3D scans, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, digital scanning technologies, and real-time diagnostics.
The escalating number of dental issues is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the intraoral/IOL scanners market in the future. Dental issues include anything that compromises the health of teeth, gums, or any other oral structures such as cavities, gum diseases, tooth sensitivity, and malocclusion. These issues are on the upswing due to poor oral hygiene practices, inadequate access to dental healthcare, and a high intake of sugary and acidic food substances. Intraoral scanners are essential in tackling these issues as they offer accurate digital impressions, thereby enhancing diagnosis, treatment strategy, and overall patient comfort. Additionally, they also minimize time expenditure and errors compared to conventional methods. For example, the British Dental Association reported in March 2023 that the prevalence of dental decay was 35.1% in deprived areas in 2022, a stark contrast to 13.5% prevalent in wealthier areas. Hence, increasing dental issues are boosting the intraoral/IOL scanners market.
