Digital Impression Standalone Scanners Market

Digital Impression Standalone Scanners Market (Technology - Confocal Microscopic Imaging Technology and Optical Wand Technology) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020

Digital impression standalone scanner is widely adopted by dentist to provide precise treatment. The technology helps in getting closer view of teeth and intraoral issues. The digital scanning helps is used during several dental applications such as dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges, and orthodontic treatment. Hence, demand for digital impression standalone market is growing, which is pushing the edge of global digital impression standalone scanners market.

Widening adoption rate of CAD/CAM based restoration technique for treatment of dental concerns is also contributing to the growth of the digital impression standalone scanners market. However, technological limitations of scanners to scan full arch impressions, size of camera head, and others may hinder growth of digital impression standalone scanners market in coming years.

Digital impression standalone scanner is bifurcated on the basis of imaging technology. Optical wand imaging and parallel confocal imaging technology are two segments. Out of two, optical wand imaging technology is widely adopted owing to its advanced configuration. It is a 3D technology and enable the user to get 2,400 3D data sets per arch. High imaging ability makes it preferable over other imaging technologies.

The segment is anticipated to contribute large revenue to digital impression standalone scanners market.

Digital impression is a technology used to create three-dimensional (3D) image of intraoral tissues and teeth. Digital impression standalone scanners are used in intraoral scanning for various dental applications including dentures, bridges, inlays, onlays and orthodontic treatments. Advantages associated with digital impression technology over traditional method of impression are the factors driving the market growth. Digital impression standalone scanners eliminate the tedious and painful process of elastomeric impression used for dental applications. Additionally, digital impression standalone scanners reduce retakes required in dental applications such as restoration, thereby reducing the overall time and increasing productivity.

Digital impression technology offers easy and accurate scanning with minimum efforts for both the dentist and patient. This helps in reducing errors and repeated visits of patients to the dental clinic. Moreover, decreasing costs and development of advanced powder-free intraoral scanners are expected to significantly drive the digital impression standalone scanners market growth. With rising focus on patient comfort and treatment accuracy, dentists are expected to increasingly adopt these scanners. However, high technical expertise and initial investment are few factors constraining the growth of digital impression standalone scanners market in near term.

The market for digital impression standalone scanners is segmented based on technology as confocal microscopic imaging and optical wand technology. The scanners based on optical wand technology dominated the global digital impression standalone scanners market accounting for highest revenue share in 2013. This was mainly due to low cost and small size of these scanners. Moreover, introduction of advanced powder-free scanners based on optical wand technology is contributing to the market growth and the trend is likely to further fuel the growth of the market in near future. Due to these advantages, optical wand technology based intraoral scanners are expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. Confocal microscopic imaging technology based intraoral scanners offer powder-free scanning, which enables them to carry out the process without keeping any distance between teeth and scanner. However, due to high costs associated with these scanners, the market for these scanners is witnessing relatively slow growth.

In 2013, Europe held the largest market share and accounted for 39.3% of the global digital impression standalone scanners market. The growth was attributed to the early introduction and high adoption of digital impression standalone scanners in dental applications. This was majorly due to rising focus on elimination of error-prone traditional elastomeric impression techniques. High price of the digital impression standalone scanners is the prime factor for the reluctance toward its adoption by dentist in the Asia Pacific region. However, with declining prices of standalone scanners, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market for digital impression standalone scanners during the forecast period. Japan is among the highest contributors to the digital impression standalone scanners market owing to the aging population and rising concerns regarding dental care. Strong market growth potential from countries such as India, China and South Korea is expected to drive the digital impression standalone scanners market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period. 

Advent of 3D Innovations will Augment Digital Impression Standalone Scanners Market

Digital impression innovation offers simple and precise examining with least endeavors for both the dental specialist and patient. This aids in decreasing blunders and rehashed visits of patients to the dental center. In addition, diminishing expenses and improvement of cutting edge without powder intraoral scanners are relied upon to essentially drive the digital impression standalone scanners market development. With rising spotlight on understanding solace and treatment precision, dental specialists are relied upon to progressively embrace these scanners. Nonetheless, high specialized ability and introductory speculation are not many components compelling the development of digital impression standalone scanners market in close to term.

Extending appropriation pace of CAD/CAM based rebuilding method for treatment of dental concerns is likewise adding to the development of the digital impression standalone scanners market. In any case, innovative constraints of scanners to filter full curve impressions, size of camera head, and others may upset development of digital impression standalone scanners market in coming years.

Asia Pacific is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the digital impression standalone scanners market in the coming years. Among its developing nations, Japan is considered among the top supporters in the market, because of the expanding concerns identified with dental consideration just as the developing maturing populace. Strong market development potential in countries, for example, China, India, and South Korea is anticipated to drive the regional market in the foreseeable future.

Digital impression is an innovation used to make three-dimensional (3D) picture of intraoral tissues and teeth. Digital impression standalone scanners are utilized in intraoral filtering for different dental applications including false teeth, spans, trims, onlays and orthodontic medicines. Benefits related with digital impression innovation over customary technique for impression are the components driving the market development. Digital impression standalone scanners dispense with the dreary and difficult cycle of elastomeric impression utilized for dental applications. Furthermore, digital impression standalone scanners lessen retakes needed in dental applications like rebuilding, along these lines diminishing the general time and expanding profitability.
