Over the last decade, there has been a rise in dental problems such as plaque, dental cavities, bad breath, and inflammation of the gums across the world. This has fuelled demand for interdental cleaning products.

Increasing disposable income in developing countries such as India, China, and Japan is leading to the market growth of interdental cleaning products. Many innovative products such as dental floss, electric interdental toothbrushes, dental tapes, and tongue cleaners are being adopted by high and middle-income people.

Many organisations are taking initiatives to spread awareness about dental and oral health care. For instance, in 2016, the American Dental Association (ADA) announced that interdental cleaners such as interdental brushes and floss are an essential part of taking care of gums and teeth. In 2015, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) tied up with Oral-B to provide awareness programs related to good oral health care among people.

It is owing to these factors that there has been surge in demand for interdental cleaning products over the past decade. Demand is expected to further escalate over the coming ten years.

What are the Key Opportunities on Offer for Interdental Cleaning Product Manufactures?

There has been a steady growth of the market attributable to increasing oral health consciousness among consumers, efforts towards preventive dental care, government initiatives towards advanced oral health awareness, and investments into product research and development by leading market players.

Government initiatives are playing a critical role in not only increasing access to interdental cleaning aids, but also in boosting user awareness. Legislative efforts such as the Older Americans Reauthorization Act of 2016, and proposed legislation such as Action for Dental Health Act of 2015 in the U.S. provided significant impetus to the adoption, sales, and prescriptive use of interdental cleaning products.

Collaborations between governments and professional dental organizations are critical to reach a large number of potential users. For instance, the Health Ministry of India has joined hands with the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences to launch a digital oral health awareness program called e-DantSeva.

These factors will propel the sales of interdental cleaning products, creating revenue opportunities for manufacturers.

What are the Restraints being Encountered by Interdental Cleaning Product Providers?

In developed countries such as the U.S., oral healthcare is ignored in terms of insurance coverage for the elderly. Problems arise as dental care is often viewed distinctly from general healthcare. This leads to the elderly struggling with managing oral healthcare expenses.

Also, populations in developing countries are less aware about the availability of interdental cleaning product options. Further, complexity of using interdental cleaning products such as flosses effectively in comparison to conventional oral care devices such as toothbrushes, is also considered a challenge to market growth.

Products such as interdental cleaning brushes come in varying sizes, and can potentially cause damage to oral surfaces in cases of incompatibility with patient mouth shapes and size, making professional prescriptions necessary in fixed cases. Also, strict regulations and slow approval of new products in the industry are hindering market growth prospects.

Which Region Offers the Largest Opportunity for Interdental Cleaning Product Providers?

Europe accounted for around 29% share of the total revenue from interdental cleaning products. This is owing to growing prevalence of oral problems and dental issues, mainly in the eastern parts of Europe. Massive increase in the geriatric population is also anticipated to drive this regional market.

Moreover, in Europe, oral hygiene is gaining traction contributing to rise in sales of dental care products. Also, a growing number of consumers are adopting specialist interdental cleaning tools such as flosses and interdental brushes. Consumers in the UK and Germany are major contributors to oral hygiene products demand.

Elderly populations in the region are more likely to adopt interdental cleaning products to minimize the risk of dental problems, and the need for dentures. Sales will gain greater traction in the region through the forecast period.
