Canada is among the world leaders when it comes to the overall oral health of its citizens. Three out of every four Canadians visit a dental professional at least once per year, and 84% of Canadians believe they have good or excellent oral health. In Canada, wait times to see a dentist and receive treatment are among the shortest in the world. And, for the vast majority of Canadians, the availability and choice of dentists are non-issues. Roughly 80% of Canadians have a dentist; approximately 85.7 percent of Canadians visit a dentist within a 2-year period; 32% of Canadians have no dental insurance; 53% of adults between 60 and 79 years of age have no dental insurance; and 50% of Canadians in the lower-income bracket have no dental insurance. 84% of Canadians report their oral health as good or excellent; 6.4% of Canadians have no teeth. 5.5% of Canadians have untreated coronal cavities, most Canadians (73%) brush twice a day or more, and over a quarter (28%) floss five times a week.

According to the research report Canada Oral Care Market Overview, 2028 published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 0.25 Billion by 2028. In both developing and developed nations, the rising prevalence of cavities, sensitivity, and gingivitis has boosted toothpaste consumption on a large scale. As a result, toothpaste has become a necessary component of oral hygiene and wellness. Thus, toothpaste has the largest market share in the oral care market. On the other hand, toothpaste is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The demand for toothbrushes is mostly driven by people’s increasing knowledge of oral health care and hygiene. One of the primary factors driving the oral care market growth is oral hygiene awareness. The dentists hold a variety of seminars and initiatives to raise dental hygiene awareness. This assists key market players in exhibiting their product portfolio, resulting in increased acceptance of dental care products.

Canada is estimated to be the most opportunistic segment during the forecast period. The increasing consumer preference for herbal toothpaste products in the region is the driving factor for the growth of the market. The rising prevalence of oral disorders in nations such as Canada is fueling demand for Oral Care products.

The population of Canada was 38.246 Million. There are 18.90 million males and 19.17 million females in Canada. The percentage of the female population is 50.36% compared to 49.64% male population. Canada has 0.4 million more females than males. The Urban population of Canada was 31.229 Million. The GDP of Canada was USD 1.99 trillion in 2021. The increasing population and economy can be regarded as the driving factors for the growth of the Oral Care Market in Canada.

Due to the increasing aging population, there has been an increase in the number of dental implants and oral surgeries being performed. In addition, there is a decrease in manual dexterity and an increase in comorbidity and medications affecting the oral cavity. Hence, dental care in aged care facilities is found to be poor, and access to dental professionals is difficult. There are several other risk factors, such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, medication, and hereditary conditions, which are also connected to the increase in dental diseases.

Based on the sales channel, specialty stores dominate the oral care market during the forecast period. Specialty stores offer a wide range of products. The customers get accurate product information through specialty store workers. Customers can also get all types of oral care products under one roof with the help of specialty stores. On the other hand, Oral care products can be purchased through the online sales channel, owing to the availability of multi-brand oral care products at reduced rates, the convenience of purchase, and free shipping. The success of online sales channels for oral care products has encouraged key market players to increase their investment in these channels.

Based on the age group, adults dominate the oral care market during the forecast period. The rising consumer awareness regarding oral care and hygiene among adults is driving the overall growth of the oral care market. There is a variety of oral care products for adults in the market. On the other hand, the kids are expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The teeth of kids are very sensitive in nature. The utmost care of the gums and teeth of kids has to be taken with good quality oral care products. As a result, the companies are introducing new products for kids in the oral care market.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Canada Oral Care market in terms of sales and revenue.
