According to Fact.MR, the global oral hygiene market is set to expand at over 5% CAGR during the forecast period from 2021 to 2031.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 4 in 10 adults aged 30 years or older had gum (periodontal) diseases during 2009-2015, while such gum diseases result in infections and inflammations of the gums and bones that surround and support the teeth. As maintaining good oral hygiene prevents such complications, demand for various oral hygiene products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, and others is surging across the world.
