Dental digital x-ray or dental digital radiography is a diagnostic and preventive approach. X-ray passes through soft tissue in the gum and gets observed by dense cells that produce the image. These digital dental x-rays enable dentists to diagnose common dental problems such as cavities, a disorder related to the gum, and dental infections. Digital dental x-rays have been the preferable modality over the years because of their advantages, such as safer and more convenient imaging techniques. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey in 2017, physical attractiveness and self-esteem were the primary factors influencing people to opt for cosmetic dentistry procedures. In addition, as per CDC statistics, 92% of the U.S. population between the ages of 20 and 64 have more frequently reported dental cases over the years.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the high cost of dental X-ray equipment and the lack of professionals in completing this dental x-ray equipment restrict growth. Moreover, complex government regulations and a lack of reimbursement policies are projected to impede the development of the global dental digital X-ray market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the digital dental x-ray market:

COVID-19 is a global pandemic that was first identified in Wuhan, China. The world health organization announced COVID-19 as the emergence of healthcare. It is an infectious disease that spreads quickly from person to person. All the governments had declared nationwide lockdown and a ban on transportation and flights to control the spread. During the first half of 2020, the market had a decline in growth. The pandemic had a negative impact on the dental industry due to the canceled and postponed treatment procedures. In addition, the digital dental x-ray supply chain had been stopped due to the ban on transportation. Countries like the U.S. and India purchase raw materials from China, which disrupts the supply chain that negatively impacts the manufacturing industries.

Moreover, the second period of the pandemic has positively impacted market growth. As a result, the demand for cosmetic procedures has increased, research and activities have doubled, and manufacturers in the industry have focused on producing digital dental X-ray machines. Therefore, the use of X-rays for dental cosmetic procedures is expected to increase, and the demand for the market has increased. However, despite the negative impact during the initial period, the market is expected to have better growth in the coming years.
