Dublin, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Oral Care Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Product Age Group Distribution Channel - Global Forecast to 2032" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The growth of this market is driven by the rising prevalence of gum diseases and dental caries, increasing awareness of oral health & hygiene, rising demand for dental aesthetics, increasing consumer awareness regarding oral care products, and growing use of eco-friendly oral care products.

In addition, the inclination towards natural and herbal care products and technological advancements in oral care products are expected to provide significant opportunities for stakeholders operating in the oral care market. Moreover, the rise of electric toothbrushes, the introduction of skincare-inspired oral care products, and the integration of AI in toothbrushes are major trends in the oral care market.

However, the effect of harmful chemicals in oral care products hinders the growth of the oral care market to some extent. Furthermore, limited awareness of specialized oral care products is a major challenge in the global oral care market.

Asia-Pacific is projected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period of 2025-2032. The region's large and rapidly growing population, particularly in countries like China and India, contributes significantly to the rising demand for oral care products. Urbanization and increasing awareness of oral hygiene, supported by government initiatives and educational campaigns, are further accelerating market expansion.

Additionally, a growing middle class with rising disposable incomes is fueling the demand for both basic and premium oral care products, including electric toothbrushes, whitening treatments, and herbal formulations. The proliferation of modern retail infrastructure and e-commerce platforms has improved product accessibility across urban and rural areas alike.

Furthermore, major global and regional market players are investing heavily in local manufacturing and distribution networks to meet the increasing demand and reduce operational costs. Aging populations in countries such as Japan and South Korea are also creating a niche demand for specialized oral care solutions. Collectively, these factors make Asia-Pacific the most dynamic and promising region for growth in the global oral care market over the forecast period.

In 2025, the toothpastes segment is expected to account for the largest share of 36.7% of the oral care market. Toothpaste is available in various forms, such as gels, pastes, powders, and other forms, and is used to clean the teeth and maintain the oral aesthetics of the mouth. The large share of this segment is attributed to factors such as rising awareness of oral health, a shift in the use of herbal and natural products as compared to chemical-based products, a growing number of market players, growing cases of dental caries and gum diseases, and awareness about oral hygiene.

By age group, the oral care market is segmented into adults and children.

In 2025, the adults segment is expected to account for a larger share of the oral care market. The large number of adults using oral care products is a key factor supporting the segment's largest share. The high prevalence of gum problems in adults and high awareness of maintaining oral care among adults are also supporting the segment's largest share.

Adults tend to visit dental practitioners often compared to children. Adults have easy access to resources about oral health and hygiene compared to children. Websites, articles, and social media platforms offer educational content on dental care, including the benefits of using toothpaste, recommended oral hygiene practices, and tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

By end users, the oral care market is segmented into supermarkets/hypermarkets, pharmacies, oral care clinics, and online channels.
