Growth key points: The Chinese market still has great potential,
Operation scan as a digital entrance becomes the "main battlefield"
dditional industry is in a huge and rapid digital transformation period, involving products, technologies, distribution channels and business models.With the fierce digital competition in the oral industry, the oral scanning field, which is an important entrance to digitalization, has become the "main battlefield".
In the Chinese market, the current price of oral scanning is still high for many private clinics in China, so the penetration rate of is still very low. However, as a must-have option for future dental consumption, with the upgrading of consumption and the improvement of people's awareness of oral health care, and the reduction in scanner prices brought about by more and more domestic manufacturers joining the market, the demand for intraoral scanners will continue to grow in the future.
Currently, the global vent scanning market mainly includes the following competitors: Invisale iTero, Stroman (mainly cooperated with 3shape and carestream), CEREC Omnicam of Densberg, and KaVo i500 of Envista.
Take the revenue growth in Q1 2021 as an example. Aiqi Technology was able to hit a new high with a growth rate of 62.4%, which is also due to the explosive growth of its mouth-scanning business .
021 Q1, Aiqi Technology System & Service Business revenue increased by 104% year-on-year. Part of it comes from the increase in the number of ipid scan installations, with a net income of US$47.2 million, and the other part comes from the increase in iTero ipid scan service revenue, which also helped exocad's CAD/CAM revenue, with a net income of US$23.6 million. In Q1, 2021, Aiqi Technology launched a new oral scanning product:
- iTero Element 5D Plus imaging system, and the digital workflow enhances visualization function to optimize the patient experience.
- iTero Element Flex intraoral scanner, with more possibilities to accelerate the digital transformation of in oral medical .
financial report data shows that
is in the US market . Aiqi Technology's cooperation with DECA Medical Group has been extended to 2025. DECA Medical Group will expand the use of iTero Element 5D imaging system in its US clinics.
in the Asia Pacific market , iTeroElement Flex performs well, and its only wand configuration provides the required mobility so doctors can perform a full bow scan for patients anywhere they choose.

▲Aiqi Technology iTero applications account for
In terms of Yinshimei case, the proportion of OPs in the US market reached 85.5% (+9.4% within two years), and the proportion of OPs in the international market reached 75.1% (+15.8% within two years) .
Aiqi Technology also stated in its financial report that the sales of iTero scanners are increasing in the company's overall revenue, and the acquisition of exocad in 2020 also serves as a good complement to its dental digital business. Yinshimei + iTero has become the growth foundation of Aiqi Technology.
In addition, in Q1 2021, the high growth of 74.4% in the Asia-Pacific region was mainly due to the rapid growth of intraoral scanners, driven by 3Shape scanners in the Japanese market and Carestream in the Chinese market.
According to its financial report, intraoral scanners have become the second largest contributor to its digital solution revenue.

Trend: Be optimistic about China's consumption upgrade,
Layout training becomes the basis for future growth
Oral industry is a close combination of medicine and beauty, with strong consumption attributes. With the improvement of aesthetic needs and health awareness among the masses, oral has become a key area for consumption upgrades .
compared with the comparable period of the United States. When the per capita disposable income of in the United States reached about US$10,000, the oral consumption of in the United States began to flourish for decades. Around 2017, the per capita disposable income of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China also reached this starting point. The huge potential of consumption upgrading makes the size of China's oral market expected to exceed 100 billion.
In the oral industry, dentists are an important factor in the development of the industry, including consumer recognition. Therefore, major companies have also grasped this key and planned to cultivate talents.
On March 24, 2021, the "Kawa Innovation Center of Excellence" was unveiled in Shanghai. The integrated display, training and experience will be an important training base for the four major business departments of Kawa . With the goal of retraining and re-developing oral doctors, it will help more young doctors grow steadily.
Scherman will invest 170 million Swiss francs (about 1.2 billion RMB) to establish the firstScherman park in China, and is expected to be put into use by 2029.
▲Scherman China Park schematic
- It has signed an investment agreement with Shanghai Xinzhuang Industrial Park to build its first park in China. The park will integrate manufacturing, education and innovation centers.
- China Park will provide various educational projects and Stroman's transplant and orthodontic products for the Chinese oral market. It will meet the rapidly growing demand for dental solutions from Chinese dentists and patients.
Dental industry is the field closest to consumers, and therefore it has also suffered the biggest impact in the new crown epidemic in 2020. At present, it seems that the recovery in all areas of big health is also very good.
It can also be seen from the financial reports of major dental companies that whoever grasps the consumer will be able to take the lead in the dental track. Digitalization may be the latest tool to grasp consumers.
