If most of us already brush our teeth, why is the oral care market sailing past the $6 billion mark? And why, by 2007, will this supposedly mature market jump to nearly $8 billion? This new Packaged Facts report discusses the product innovations and societal trends that now drive sales of toothpaste, mouthwash, oral care gums, breath fresheners, toothbrushes, floss, denture care products and electric dental appliances.

For example, the report examines the whitener phenomenon. Products designed to brighten the teeth are all the rage, being introduced in all shapes, forms and sizes. Many companies have jumped on this bandwagon; The U.S. Market for Oral Care Products offers insight into how successful these efforts have been.

Manufactures are also banking on products designed for specific populations to boost profits. For some time, parents have had the option of buying toothpaste designed to appeal to their children. Moms can now find toothpaste just for them - with the introduction of Crest marketing specifically for women (in vanilla and cinnamon flavors). Will demographic segmentation of oral care products perpetuate?

Historical and projected sales are presented, too, as are IRI brand share data. Extensive Simmons demographic info is analyzed in depth. The savvy executive will also reap new perspectives on the battle strategies of Colgate, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Tom’s of Maine, Unilever, Water Pik, and others.

Additional Information

New York, November 19/PRNewswire - Whitening agents have infiltrated nearly every product in the oral care market, according to The U.S. Market for Oral Care Products, a newly published Packaged Facts report available at MarketResearch.com. Whitening innovations will propel what would otherwise be a static oral care market into a dynamic, $8.5 billion industry by 2007.

The presence and impact of whiteners are inescapable: every major oral care marketer has extended its flagship brand lines with whitening agents. The fact that a toothpaste, mouthwash, or gum has a whitening agent, or that a product is specifically designed to whiten teeth, often overshadows the more traditional benefits normally associated with oral care products, such as protection against cavities, gingivitis, or plaque. Indeed, Procter & Gamble recently announced a major advertising campaign for its Crest WhiteStrips to combat inroads Colgate has made in the whitener category with its Simply White gel.

"Whiteners are now in almost every product in the market," said Don Montuori, Acquisitions Editor for Packaged Facts. "We are just beginning to see how market demand for whitening products will settle out. For instance, whitening mouthwashes came out before most whitening gums, but now sales in the gum segment have eclipsed all success in the mouthwash arena. It’s too early to tell at this point where the whitening trend will have the most power, but it will certainly change the market as a whole."

The U.S. Market for Oral Care Products provides detailed information about consumer demographics, as well as distribution and marketing trends, product development, and emerging promotional campaigns. The report also includes historical sales data, as well as market projections through 2007.
