Technological innovation in oral care products drives the growth of the oral care market.
Product innovation has enabled the development of technologically advanced and easy-to-use oral care products such as electrical toothbrushes and vibrators. Players such as The Procter & Gamble Company (US) and Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Netherlands) are increasingly focusing on innovation in the market. These players are focusing on the development of application-based toothbrushes and smart electric toothbrushes, which are connected to a smartphone with the Bluetooth technology. Recently, some major players launched interactive toothbrushes equipped with position detection and motion sensor technologies. These toothbrushes screen the oral cavity to provide a real-time guidance for brushing and maintaining oral health.

Geographically, the oral care market in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in this regional segment is largely driven by the large population, rising incidence of dental caries, increasing awareness of dental hygiene, and rising disposable incomes in emerging countries in this region.
