Dental Floss Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rising oral health awareness among consumers is notably driving the dental floss market growth, although factors such as adverse health implications due to incorrect usage of dental floss products may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the dental floss industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Dental Floss Market Driver

Rising oral health awareness among consumers is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global dental floss market. Dental floss products help in the removal of plaque and food debris lodged between teeth, thereby preventing bad breath and the buildup of tartar. Regular use of dental floss after brushing helps in the prevention of tooth decay. Flossing also helps reduce the risk of gingivitis and other advanced periodontal diseases among people. The rising consumer awareness about good oral health practices, especially in developed regions such as North America and Western Europe, has been driving the adoption of dental floss products over the last few years. For instance, in the US, the ADA recommends the use of an interdental cleaner, such as floss, to ensure the care of teeth and gums. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), in the US, in 2017, adults who frequently reported the use of floss or other interdental cleaning mechanisms were less likely to develop periodontitis. The ADA also encourages consumers in the US to purchase oral care products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance, thereby educating consumers about the functional and safety aspects of these products. The launch of such new and innovative products is expected to continue to aid the growth of the global dental floss market during the forecast period.

Key Dental Floss Market Trend

The rising popularity of automated floss dispensers will fuel the global dental floss market growth. The launch of automated floss dispensers is expected to encourage the adoption of dental floss among consumers during the forecast period. Automated floss dispensers can attach easily to bathroom walls and mirrors and enable consumers to maintain a healthy brushing and flossing routine through reminders and reinforcement learning. For instance, Glint Oral Care launched Flosstime, the first automated floss dispenser, which is battery-operated. The small, round device is positioned by the company as a smart floss dispenser and can be mounted easily onto bathroom mirrors and cabinets. Floss time uses reinforcement learning techniques to remind users about flossing after brushing. With the help of inbuilt light-emitting diodes (LEDs), Flosstime frowns at consumers who forget to floss and rewards them with a smile after flossing. The device dispenses a preset length of floss based on repeated consumer usage patterns, cuts the floss, and also captures the flossing routine time of consumers. The device consists of a single-user and dual-user operational mode. The company also provides attractive animal snap-on devices (e.g., frogs) that make the LED lights more appealing to kids, thereby encouraging them to take up flossing routines.

Key Dental Floss Market Challenge

Adverse health implications due to incorrect usage of dental floss products are major challenges for the global dental floss market growth. The use of dental floss is largely recommended by doctors and medical associations globally; however, incorrect flossing techniques can cause discomfort and damage to gums. Vigorous use of dental floss often leads to injury, with the thread cutting the gum, which subsequently can foster infections. Repeated instances of incorrect flossing may cause grooves in the gingival margin, leading to floss cleft. Furthermore, dental flossing poses considerable difficulty for consumers with fixed accessories such as braces. These accessories restrict the natural movement of dental floss and may lead to the development of plaque stagnation areas that stimulate bacterial and pathogenic infections. Moreover, the presence of toxic ingredients in waxed dental floss products poses serious health risks to consumers. According to the Silent Spring Institute and the Public Health Institute in the US, waxed dental floss products were found to contain fluorine compounds such as PFAs and PTFEs. Therefore, health implications associated with the improper selection and use of dental floss products are expected to pose a significant challenge to the growth of the global dental floss market during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 affected all countries in North America, especially the US. It also had a negative impact on the dental floss market in North America. As of May 13, 2020, more than 33.59 million cases of COVID-19 were reported in the US. A rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the first quarter of 2021 led to partial lockdowns in several countries, including Canada and Mexico. Thus, various non-urgent dental treatments and clinic visits were done in either limited capacity or were completely closed as per guidelines. Some of the scheduled treatments were either delayed or postponed. Hence, there was a decline in the adoption of dental floss, which impacted the market growth in 2020 and in Q1 of 2021 to some extent. However, by January 2021, the rules of lockdown in various countries were somewhat relaxed, which led to the resumption of business activities offering essential services. Thus, resuming the manufacturing of personal products and their availability through e-commerce channels will cater to the demand for dental floss in North America and register accelerating growth during the forecast period.
