Fortune Business Insights identifies advancements in oral hygiene product formulations as a major growth driver. Preventive oral care awareness, premiumization and specialized product demand, expansion of organized retail and e-commerce channels, and higher oral care penetration in emerging markets are also supporting market expansion.
Advancements in oral hygiene product formulations are encouraging consumers to move beyond basic cleaning products toward clinically positioned toothpastes, mouthwashes, whitening solutions, and sensitivity-care products.
