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.
