Buccal Cavity Devices Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Buccal Cavity Devices Market Analysis

The Buccal Cavity Devices Market size is estimated at USD 2.40 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.69% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the studied market significantly. With the strike of COVID-19 and lockdowns all over the globe and fear of co-infections during the initial days, the demand for dental procedures decreased. Additionally, the hospital visits associated with dental treatments and other dental surgeries decreased during the pandemic initially and hampered the adoption of oral or buccal cavity procedures, which adversely impacted the market studied.

However, there has been increased awareness about oral health and maintaining healthy teeth during the later phases of the pandemic, which balanced the loss incurred by the market. For instance, the significance of dental health has been emphasized by the German Society of Dentistry and Oral Medicine (DGZMK), and the systemic relevance of dentistry, especially during the pandemic, published their survey result in December 2021.

As per their survey, 39.1% of all participating doctors saw less than 600 patients per quarter, while 59.9% saw more than 600 patients. This shows a balance between oral care procedures during the pandemic, and considerably balanced the adoption of buccal cavity devices, driving the overall studied market. This is further anticipated to contribute to the overall market studied during the forecast period.

The studied market growth is largely attributed to factors such as the increase in the prevalence of dental disorders, advancements in research and developments (R&D) in dentistry coupled with a rise in disposable income, and are expected to drive the studied market growth during the analysis period.

The practice of keeping one's mouth (known as the buccal cavity) clean and disease-free following several tips is known as oral hygiene. It involves visiting the dentist regularly for dental X-rays, exams, and cleanings. With the high burden of oral diseases across countries worldwide, the demand for buccal cavity treatment is increasing, which is further creating demand for buccal cavity devices.

For instance, as per World Health Organization (WHO) data updated in May 2023, even if oral diseases are preventable with treatment and care, nearly 3,500 million people are affected by oral diseases.

Additionally, as per the data published by the United Health Foundation in 2021, the prevalence of full-mouth teeth extractions due to tooth decay or gum disease among older adults is higher in females than males and those with an annual household income of less than USD 25,000 in the United States.

In addition, as per the above source, the prevalence of oral diseases is more than 7 times higher than those with a household income of USD 75,000 or more annually, and the prevalence decreases with each increase in income level. Therefore, the burden of diseases among poor and aging populations is predicted to have a positive impact on buccal cavity treatment and is anticipated to fuel demand for buccal cavity devices and accelerate market expansion over the course of the projected period and beyond.

However, the high cost associated with intra-oral flat panel sensor products is one of the major factors that is predicted to hamper the market's growth.

Intraoral Scanner Segment is Expected to Grow Significantly Over the Analysis Period

Buccal Cavity Devices Industry Segmentation

The buccal cavity is involved in processes such as chewing and swallowing (i.e., mechanical digestion). The buccal cavity has comparatively lower enzymatic activity compared to the gastrointestinal tract, and there are many devices used for the treatment of buccal cavities, including cameras, scanners, and X-ray tubing, which can be used intraoral for disease diagnosis.

The buccal cavity devices market is segmented by product (intraoral cameras, intraoral scanners, and intraoral x-ray units), application (diagnostics and therapeutics), end-users (hospitals and dental clinics), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions globally.
