Drivers: technological advancements in oral care products
Product innovation has enabled the development of technologically advanced and easy-to-use oral care products such as electric toothbrushes, artificial intelligence-equipped (AI) toothbrushes, and vibrating toothbrushes. Technological innovation in toothbrushes is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Major players operating in the market have also launched interactive toothbrushes equipped with position detection and motion sensor technologies. These toothbrushes screen the oral cavity to provide real-time guidance for brushing and maintaining oral health.
The development of such innovative products enables users to track oral care habits and improve oral health. At-home teeth-whitening products have also advanced considerably in recent years. For instance, in May 2021, GLO Science (US) launched the GLO To Go Teeth Whitening Pen, a fast and effortless teeth whitening pen for home use, enhanced with plant-based antimicrobials.
Oral care market players have been taking advantage of these technological advancements by forming strategic partnerships to drive oral health awareness. These technological advances in oral care devices and care delivery in dental practice increase consumer engagement and compliance with oral hygiene practices, driving the growth of the market.
Opportunities: Growing awareness about oral hygiene
The rise in awareness of oral care can be attributed to dentists’ efforts and key players in the market. These stakeholders conduct various seminars and programmes to increase awareness of dental hygiene and demonstrate newly launched and technologically advanced products. This helps players promote their product portfolios and contribute to their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. For instance, Oral-B (Procter & Gamble) announced a $1 million initiative to donate oral care products and dental care to high-risk individuals through a partnership with Dental LifeLine Network (US) to improve oral hygiene practises and ensure better oral health outcomes.
