COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Since toothpaste falls within the category of necessary goods and services and cross-border production of such products was previously permitted with few to no limitations, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a negative impact on the toothpaste market. Throughout the year, the strong demand for toothpaste was unaffected; nonetheless, consumers were more likely to choose brands that allowed for additional purchases. Prices were cheaper for those with a significant volume.

Toothpaste Market Dynamics

The prevalence of presbyopia and myopia among children and adults is continuously increasing. This, along with limited awareness and hesitation among the general population toward vision correction, especially in emerging countries, is responsible for the rising number of people suffering from vision impairment. According to the data published by the WHO in 2020, the global prevalence of 2.2 billion people is affected by near or farsighted vision impairment, of which approximately 1 billion people were undiagnosed. Most of the cases were found to be uncorrected refractive errors. The simple availability of toothpaste on the market is one of the main variables influencing demand. To broaden the client base and make toothpaste products more accessible to consumers, toothpaste makers seek a variety of distribution channels, including supermarkets, hypermarkets, and independent retail stores. Additionally, the top competitors in the market carry out in-depth analyses of consumer behavior to learn firsthand about new market trends, which has contributed to the proliferation of different toothpaste variations available to customers. These oral care products are also widely accessible thanks to the players' adoption of an omni channel strategy.

Toothpaste Market Drivers

• Growing teeth problems among children and elders

It is predicted that the growing number of kids with dental issues would have a big impact on market expansion. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in March 2020, dental caries on primary teeth affected almost 530 million children globally. Additionally, the need for toothpaste is increasing due to the world's ageing population, which is particularly susceptible to dental problems such gum disease, tooth decay, cavities, and others.

Market Restraints:

• Availability of alternative treatments for refractive errors to curb the market growth

Calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, tricalcium phosphate, and other ingredients are used to make toothpaste. The high cost of the finished product as a result of the growing prices of these chemicals is predicted to have a detrimental effect on market expansion. For instance, figures from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics show that between December 2016 and December 2019, the import price index for goods used in the manufacturing of chemicals increased by 5.4%.

Market Opportunities:

• Increasing Spending on Marketing and Advertising to Support Growth

Leading companies like Colgate, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and others have seen a rise in their product sales and demand as a result of their increasing marketing and advertising expenditures. For instance, according to information released by Colgate Palmolive in July 2020, investments in Colgate advertisements were anticipated to be worth USD 416 million in 2019, an increase of 3% from the year before. The rising trend of starting an advertising campaign around special occasions is also expected to increase consumption. For instance, the Daily Huntin reports that Dabur India conducted a marketing campaign for their red toothpaste brand during the 2019 Cricket World Cup in June 2019.
