Tooth discomfort and cavity among children causes anxiety and tension in both kids and parents. The CDC estimates that in the United States, dental-related infections cause children to miss up to three days of school annually, totalling 51 million missed instructional hours.
As per a research conducted by Marymount University, in 2018, Oral health problems or dental appointments cause employed Americans to miss more than 164 million hours of work each year, with parents missing up to three days of work as a result.
To find out how tooth decay affects daily living, in 2022, Colgate polled more than 20,000 parents in 12 different nations. In the United States, Colgate surveyed 1,800 parents and found that 62% of the kids had cavities, which have a detrimental impact on their emotional, physical, social, and economic well-being.
By connecting dental health to general well-being, Colgate-global Palmolive's study illustrates the urgent need to address the prevalence of cavities as a public health issue. Rising childhood tooth decay fuels a global demand for dental toothpaste.
Thus, considering the above-mentioned factors, the global market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.
Preventing oral diseases has become a key issue all around the world. As a result of better research and information, there is improvement in oral health care globally. The number of efforts and programs to advance oral health research has increased over the course of the projection period, which has increased the demand for preventative goods.
The rise of dental clinics in industrialized countries and developing and undeveloped economies has raised the demand for preventive products like toothpaste for sensitivity, which will fuel the market. Given the high prevalence of dental and oral conditions including tooth decay and gum disease, the market will experience lucrative expansion throughout the course of the projected period because of the rising use of various prevention products as a consequence of elevated awareness of oral diseases.
Due to the increased prevalence of dental caries, which is mostly brought on by smoking, bad lifestyle choices, and excessive alcohol use among the young population, the market is anticipated to continue growing over the projected period due to the rising demand for dental products.
The demand for goods like teeth whitening gels and pastes has increased as a result of the widespread usage of teeth whitening solutions, particularly among younger people. Due to rising dental spending and disposable income in both developed and emerging nations, there is an increased demand for preventive dental care solutions.
This demand is expected to create an opportunistic outlook for dental preventative supplies in the near future.
A key factor restraining the demand for the market is the competition from substitute products as the number of firms in the market rises. There are also instances where the rate of return on investment is also subpar.
Due to the low rate of return on investment and the abundance of dental products, notably toothpaste, many businesses have abandoned the industry. The price competition in the market is being impeded by bad labour practises. The market's large volume and low value features further impede investment.
Other than this, dentists in high-income countries treat the bulk of dental caries cases but in contrast, middle- and low-income economies show a different pattern. In these nations, there are comparatively fewer people who practice oral hygiene, which lowers the adoption of the target items.
As the prevalence of disorders like periodontal diseases rises and dental goods are less readily available in low-income countries, the number people with dental issues is projected to rise.
Thus, these abovementioned factors restrain the developmental growth of the market.
The USA dominates the North American region with a total market share of about 88.8% in 2022, and a similar trend is expected over the forecast period.

Fluoride-based toothpaste is expected to present high growth at a CAGR of 4.0% by the end of the forecast period, with a market share of about 82.4% in the global market in 2022.
