U.S. Oral Care Market Growth Factors

This expansion is due to increased awareness of dental hygiene, more disposable income, and a growing taste for cosmetic dentistry. 

The increasing incidence of oral diseases has a significant impact on market growth. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 91.0% of the US population aged 20 to 64 had dental caries. Of these, 27% have untreated dental cavities. As a result, the high frequency of dental ailments and diseases such as tooth enamel, periodontal disease, dental caries, and dental erosion continues to be a key global health concern, which benefits the oral care market in the United States.

The post-pandemic commercial impact posed global concerns. For example, Johnson & Johnson's 2020 Q2 data showed a favorable outlook for oral care products, notably Listerine mouthwash, with sales increasing by around 10.8%. Sedentary lifestyles and increased sweets consumption during the COVID-19 epidemic serve as indirect market drivers. Furthermore, the pandemic's technology growth has assisted the oral care business by introducing teledentistry platforms like Denteractive and Aspen Dental.

According to the World Dental Federation, over 30.0% of people aged 65 to 74 lack natural teeth, increasing the demand for innovative dentures and dental accessories. According to the Sunstar Global Oral Health Survey from September 2021, the United States ranks second in the world for the best brushing habits. Furthermore, people are moving their preferences toward innovative technology-based oral care solutions. This has generated additional chances for market expansion.
