MARKET DRIVERS
Rising Oral Care Awareness and Organic Product Demand
Increasing consumer spending on oral hygiene products is driving the growth of the oral hygiene products market. In addition, technological advancements and the development of new manufacturing techniques for oral care products are driving the market's growth. The increase in caries problems in children in South Africa has made oral hygiene one of the main concerns of parents. In South Africa, around 82% of children under the age of six face dental decay problems due to poor eating habits.
Rapid urbanization improved purchasing power, and increased promotions for natural products have raised awareness of the benefits of organic personal care products, including oral hygiene products, in countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa. As a result, consumers in these countries increasingly prefer products with modified chemical content and added natural ingredients, resulting in increased consumption of organic oral hygiene products.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
Regulatory Delays and Product Recalls
Strict regulations are hampering the growth of the oral hygiene products market. For example, there are four main stages in the regulatory compliance process: formula review, labeling review, functional review of claims, and customs clearance; these take a lot of time to get approval for product launches. Another major challenge for the oral care market is product recalls. Many oral care products are recalled if any harmful side effects are found due to usage of any ingredients, and advances in R&D will lead to the closure of older products.
