Driver
Increased awareness about oral health is driving the growth of the mouthwash market. Vendors in the industry are actively educating consumers about the benefits of using mouthwash as part of their daily oral hygiene routine. They emphasize its role in preventing germs and promoting oral health. Vendors, dental service providers, and trade groups all play a part in influencing market growth. Various awareness campaigns directly impact mouthwash product sales. Mobile technologies are being utilized to enhance oral health initiatives, with implementation guides providing guidance on integrating mobile technologies for promoting oral health. The incidence of dental illnesses, an aging population, and the introduction of new products also contribute to market expansion.
Restraint
The growth of the global mouthwash market may be hampered by side effects associated with alcohol-containing mouthwashes. These mouthwashes can cause a burning sensation and dry mouth due to the drying effect of alcohol. Additionally, chlorhexidine-containing mouthwashes can lead to tooth and surface staining, which may require thorough cleaning to remove. High pricing of oral hygiene supplies is another factor that can limit market growth, especially for households with medium incomes. The expense of oral care products makes them less accessible to a significant portion of the population, particularly in rural areas, where there may be inadequate oral health literacy and awareness.
Market Trends
The revenue growth of the mouthwash market is driven by the introduction and rapid innovation of herbal mouthwash, which is gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional mouthwash. Herbal mouthwashes, available over-the-counter and recommended by dentists, are suitable for all age groups. They contain natural plant extracts, offering non-irritating and non-staining properties, and are alcohol-free. These mouthwashes utilize natural extracts from various plants, fruits, seeds, and tree oils, providing minimal to no negative effects and reduced risk. While chlorhexidine remains the gold standard, herbal mouthwashes are increasingly preferred by consumers.
