Personal hygiene and personal care are becoming increasingly important in the lives of North American consumers. Oral hygiene has evolved into an essential component of leading a healthy lifestyle. The growing awareness of oral hygiene, government spending on dental healthcare, and the increasing number of small and private clinics all contribute to the oral care market's rapid growth. According to the American Dental Association, the most common oral disorders among Americans were dry mouth, sensitivity, bad breath, and oral infections. This has a significant impact on the mouthwash, rinse, and toothpaste markets in the country. Convenience and comfort are the two pillars driving the rising demand for oral care products. Organic and herbal toothpaste are popular due to their high benefit quotient. Oral care product sales have increased in recent years due to the exclusion of added flavors, the reduction of chemicals, and the ease of cleaning.
According to the report, "North America Oral Care Market Outlook, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to grow at a rate of 3.52% CAGR during the forecast period. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 91% of people over the age of 20 in the United States had dental caries at some point in their lives. Among them, 27% of people remained untreated. The abovementioned factors result in a growing need for medicated oral care products, which is anticipated to propel market growth. In addition to that, the market is primarily driven by increased oral hygiene routines and expanding internet shopping. Furthermore, oral care products are increasingly being sold online through e-commerce platforms.
Amazon is the most popular online shopping channel in the dental care markets of North America. In recent years; Amazon has seen a significant increase in oral care sales in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every four adults in the USA has untreated tooth decay. With health concerns likely to rise, demand for oral care products in the United States will rise further. Within North America, the USA has emerged as a key market. The high spending power of consumers in the USA has enabled the sale of oral care products in the country. Also, the presence of some of the leading players has supported expansion in the USA.
According to the report, the market is segmented into various product types, including toothpaste, toothbrushes and accessories, mouthwashes and rinses, dental products and accessories/ancillaries, dental prosthesis cleaning solutions, and others. Among these types, toothpaste is leading the market with a market share of more than 30% in 2022. However, the Mouthwash/Rinse segment is anticipated to grow with a progressive CAGR during the upcoming time period. Based on the age group, the adult segment is leading the market with more than 73% market share, which is anticipated to continue this dominance by 2028. Recent research shows that almost 200 Million Americans use mouthwash or dental rinses on a regular basis. This number continues to steadily grow as more and more people recognize the benefits of good oral health and the role that mouthwashes and rinses can play in this process.
The crest is an American brand of toothpaste and other oral hygiene products manufactured and distributed globally by the American multinational Procter & Gamble (P&G). Their main manufacturing plant is in Greensboro, North Carolina. Guanajuato, Mexico, produces a few products. Crest has also been associated with approximately twenty brands of dental care products, including toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, dental floss, and Crest Whitestrips, a tooth-whitening product. This market is expected to expand due to key driving factors such as the rising prevalence of oral diseases, increased oral care product launches, and raising awareness of oral hygiene. However, pricing pressure from major players in the oral care market is impeding the market growth. As people become more aware of the importance of oral hygiene and dental care, the market for high-quality toothbrushes has grown. The advanced technologies that have been introduced to the public in order to assist them in better protecting their dental health have been widely accepted. The introduction of electric toothbrush into the market has been well-received by the general public.
