APAC Oral Care Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific Oral Care Market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period.
The growing concerns about dental health and increasing expenditure on personal care products have led to a growth in the market for high-end products. Also, awareness regarding oral hygiene as well as dentist recommendations has proved beneficial to the market growth. Additionally, there is a significant increase in awareness about oral care products used as preventive measures to avoid oral health risks. The growing prevalence of oral diseases and periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis, dental plaque, and bleeding gums, promotes the demand for various oral care products among consumers. The demand for oral care products in the Asia-Pacific region is being driven by the increased prevalence of various dental issues like tooth decay, breastfeeding caries, and tooth sensitivity. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) research, early childhood caries is a widespread issue with a prevalence range of 60 to 90%. Increased consumer demand for special oral care products meeting targeted solutions among Asians has fueled the market demand. Rising disposable income and growing concern for dental care has triggered the demand for expensive oral care products. Toothpaste remains the leading segment in the oral care market which is mainly driven by the essential need for dental cleaning.
Moreover, the dense population of countries such as China and India is another factor supplementing the consumption of oral care products in the region. Long-term market growth is predicted to be fueled by trends like modern parenting, which is supported by easier access to childcare services and goods, consumer awareness campaigns run by leading companies, and government initiatives to improve children's health and well-being. For instance, in 2022, the Annual Meeting of the China Stomatological Association (CSA) was held along with the leading trade expo, the China Dental Show that feature brand and product marketing, ongoing education, trade negotiations, and equipment procurement, presenting goods and services from every link in the oral health value chain.
APAC Oral Care Market Trends
Deterring Oral Health among Population
The rapidly changing lifestyles and improper diets, including sugar-rich diets, and the increased consumption of alcohol and tobacco, have made oral health one of the major public health problems. According to the World Health Organization, oral diseases pose a major issue for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death. The consumers in China had severe caries and poor periodontal conditions, and the prevalence of caries was above 50% in all age groups. Moreover, with the increased expenditure on oral healthcare, consumers across the country have started taking preventive measures, which, in turn, has increased the demand for effective oral care products, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, tooth powders, and creams, along with gum-health lotions. Furthermore, consumers across the region have started to pay immense attention to maintaining their oral health, which has led to an increase in the demand for oral care products. Additionally, according to the most recent figures released by the Australian Dental Association in October 2022, 1 in 3 children between the ages of 5 and 6 have tooth decay in a baby tooth by the time they are 5 years old. In response to the rising prevalence of poor oral health among the population, the Australian government introduced the "National Oral Health Plan 2015-2024." As a result, the market for oral care is expanding due in large part to the rising prevalence of dental problems, changing parental preferences, and expanding government initiatives to raise oral health awareness.
