The global dental floss market size is expected to reach USD 751.0 million by
2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated
to witness a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period. The growth is driven by
increasing preference for oral care and dental hygiene. Rising incidence of
dental problems such as gingivitis, dental carries, and tooth decay is a major
driving factor driving the demand for interdental cleaners, including dental
floss.
A major portion of teeth is below the gum
line where a regular toothbrush cannot reach, leading to plaque and different
dental problems. Hence it is important to clean the interdental area to remove
plaque with the help of different products like interdental brushes, dental
tapes, dental floss, and other such products. The American Dental Association
(ADA) recommends regularly cleaning between teeth with an interdental cleaner
such as floss to ensure healthy gums and teeth. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO) in 2016, 50% of the global population was affected by oral
disease with dental caries. Moreover, according to The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, in 2016, more than 90% of adults in U.S. had cavity
issues out of which 1 out of 4 have had untreated cavities.
Waxed floss held a dental floss market
share of 36.1% in 2018. The product contains essential oils and enzymes which
help in effective plaque removal. This factor is anticipated to fuel the
segment growth over the forecast period. In addition, the product is available
in polymer coating, which avoids shredding and promotes effortless plaque
removal. Moreover, manufacturers focus on R&D and innovation to promote
natural wax ingredients. Companies such as Tom's of Maine, Inc. provide dental
floss made with natural waxes—jojoba, carnauba, and beeswax with no added
preservatives, sweeteners, or added color.
Online distribution channel is projected to
foresee a CAGR of 7.0% from 2019 to 2025 owing to the increasing number of
smartphone users and devices with active internet services. Therefore, wide
range of products are easy accessible on the online portals with door step
delivery services which have majorly affected online channel as a preferential
shopping segment. Many e-commerce and online shopping apps like Walmart,
Flipkart, Amazon, and eBay among others make online shopping for oral care
products easy.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the
fastest CAGR of 7.5% over the forecast period on account of rising prevalence
of dental issues, awareness regarding oral hygiene, and rising geriatric
population. The surge in the rank of poor oral health across different
countries in the region is expected to propel the demand for dental floss.
Extensive urbanization and industrial development in countries such as China,
India, and other Southeast Asian countries is anticipated to boost the growth.
