Why is Demand for Toothcare Products Gaining Traction Globally?

“Effective Results of Aesthetic Spa Treatments Fueling Demand for Dental Cosmetic Products”

Currently, a rising number of dental professionals are offering aesthetic spa treatments in addition to regular oral care to meet the personal care needs of patients. This approach is expected to reduce dental anxiety triggers such as visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli during dental procedures, which, in turn, has increased the demand for related dental cosmetic products. Furthermore, the use of 4D-based video and image visuals in dental spa clinics is creating a luxurious experience for patients.

“Growing Prevalence of Dental Diseases Pushing Consumption of Oral Care Solutions”

Dental and gum-related diseases are driving the demand for oral care products. These diseases, including tooth decay, gum diseases, and bad breath are caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. As these conditions can lead to pain, discomfort, and tooth loss, people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and seeking preventive measures.

This increasing awareness is leading to a growing demand for oral care products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, and other related products. In addition, the development of innovative oral care products that offer advanced benefits such as whitening, tartar control, and sensitivity relief is further increasing the demand for toothcare products.

“Technological Advancements in Dental & Oral Care Products”

Demand for innovative oral care products that prevent and treat dental and gum-related issues is increasing among consumers. As a result, recent advancements in the designs of dental and gum care products are driving the toothcare market.

Technologies such as laser dentistry, 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital impressions are widely used in commercial dental care instruments to enhance the effectiveness of dental procedures, further supporting sales of dental care products.

• Colgate Plaqless Pro, a smart electric toothbrush that makes use of optic sensor technology to effectively detect and eliminate biofilm growth in the oral cavity, was introduced by Colgate-Palmolive Company in January 2020.

“Growing Oral Health Concerns Popularizing Toothcare Products”

Oral health has become a major public health concern due to rapidly changing lifestyles, improper diets, and increasing consumption of alcohol and tobacco.

• The World Health Organization reports that oral diseases are a critical issue for many countries and can cause pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death throughout a person's lifetime. According to Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) by WHO, nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide are living with some kind of oral disease, permanent teeth caries being the most common condition.

Given the widespread occurrence of oral health issues, consumers tend to prefer clinically recommended and expert-endorsed oral care products instead of randomly available ones. Furthermore, consumers worldwide are increasingly spending on oral healthcare products, including a rise in the use of over-the-counter mouth rinses and oral antiseptics, as they have become more proactive in taking preventive measures, which in turn is boosting the consumption of effective oral care products.

What is Restraining the Sales Growth of Toothcare Products?

“Negative Impact of Additives Used in Toothcare Products on Teeth & Gums”

The use of certain additives such as humectants and abrasive agents in toothpaste and mouthwash products to enhance taste and color causes several allergic reactions in teeth and gums, including urticaria, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, and angioedema. This is anticipated to negatively impact the demand for dental care products. Furthermore, the intense competition among local players offering products at competitive prices is a significant restraint on the toothcare market growth.

How can New Companies Gain a Steady Position in the Toothcare Product Business?

“Utilizing Emerging Technologies for Customized Toothcare Solutions”

Start-ups in the toothcare industry have been steadily gaining traction in recent years. With the growing demand for oral care products and the increasing awareness of the importance of oral hygiene, several growth opportunities are expected to benefit new entrants.

One strategy that new producers can adopt is to focus on developing innovative toothcare products that address specific needs or gaps in the market. For example, start-up companies can create eco-friendly or organic toothcare solutions that appeal to consumers concerned about sustainability and health. Furthermore, new manufacturers can utilize emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printing to create customized toothcare solutions.

• Quip is a start-up that offers electric toothbrushes such as rechargeable smart toothbrushes and electric toothbrushes for kids and an oral care subscription service aiming to simplify the oral care routine.
• Boka is a start-up company that uses natural ingredients in its toothpaste and oral care products to promote healthier teeth and gums.
