Global Cone Beam CT (CBCT) Scanner Market is slated to expand robustly through 2032 owing to the rising cognizance around various types of diagnostic technologies and their alternatives available in the market.

Dental offices now routinely use CBCT scanners for treatment planning and diagnosis. Compared to conventional dental X-rays, CBCT scanners have better resolution, 3D imaging features, as well as reduced radiation doses.

Moreover, favorable initiatives taken by the government to encourage the adoption of quality and efficient equipment within healthcare institutions will have a positive impact on industrial growth. For instance, The FDA approved the incorporation of Intuitive’s mobile cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging system as well as the Ion Endoluminal System in June 2022. This move would enable the advancement of CBCT diagnostic technology in the coming years.

The CBCT scanner market has been divided in terms of product, application, patient position, end-use, and region.

Based on product, the cephalometric X-ray scanners segment is slated to exhibit more than 5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Contemporary cephalometric X-ray scanners are designed with keeping the patient’s comfort in mind, including features like movable headrests, softer padding, as well as open designs that minimize symptoms of claustrophobia. Besides, cephalometric X-ray scanners are also incorporating digital imaging, 3D imaging, integrated software, patient comfort, as well as mobile units, all of which aim to enhance the standard of care and patient satisfaction in dental and orthodontic clinics.

With respect to application, the orthopedic segment is poised to surge considerably over the review period. CBCT scanners can image a wide range of orthopedic and musculoskeletal issues. ICBCT is usually preferred over arthrography for local stages of cartilage lesions in microscopic joints due to its extremely high spatial resolution. These advantages spur the product adoption, thus contributing to future market expansion.

From the regional perspective, the Asia Pacific CBCT scanner market is projected to amass more than USD 500 million by 2032. The increased popularity of CBCT dentistry, as well as significant investments in healthcare infrastructural projects in nations such as China, India, and South Korea, will boost regional growth. In addition, the APAC region houses prominent CBCT scanners manufacturers which will further help bolster industrial growth in the area.
