The SmartMirror provides real-time video of the patients’ inner teeth and mouth with the help of connected mobile device. High disposable income, growing technological advancement to provide advanced medical care, and a rise in the prevalence of dental diseases are some of the factors expected to drive the growth of this segment.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Dental Mirrors Market

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, safety in dental clinics and laboratories has become a top priority, forcing many companies to adopt digital technologies to control the risk of infection better. Intraoral cameras and smart dental mirrors reduce human interaction and simplify sending impressions digitally. The global COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the dental markets. As elective dental procedures were postponed during the peak months of the pandemic, manufacturers' ability to sell the products was severely limited, resulting in a drop in market revenue and also impacted on per capita dental expenditure. Based on an analysis of new data from numerous federal agencies conducted by the ADA Health Policy Institute, national dental expenditures fell by 1.8 percent, from US$ 145 billion in 2019 to US$ 142.4 billion in 2020. According to a Health Policy Institute review of data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Census Bureau, per capita dental spending declined from US$ 442 in 2019 to US$ 430 in 2020. As the oral treatment, procedures are directly contacted with patients’ oral fluid with possible infection risk. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, maintaining social distancing has been of utmost importance as there has been a greater risk of being infected with coronavirus due to direct exposure to oral fluids of the patients. Therefore, it will likely affect the dental market over the coming years.
