United Arab Emirates (UAE) Oral Care Market Overview, 2028

United Arab Emirates (UAE) Oral Care Market Overview, 2028

During the next few years, the UAE oral care industry will develop due to an increase in the number of cases of oral health issues. Dental health is a key concern among the country's youth and youngsters. Childhood dental caries and tooth decay caused by excessive sugar-food consumption are also key contributors to the rise in dental disorders among youngsters. Furthermore, oral difficulties are a serious worry among children with genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, thalassemia, autism, and others, necessitating more stringent oral health restrictions to preserve a good dental status. These reasons are significantly increasing the demand for dental products. Furthermore, parents are more likely to visit the dentist on a regular basis and maintain healthy dental practices, which will help the UAE oral care industry grow over the next five years. Dental issues are also a source of anxiety among the elderly. Dental disorders such as weak gums, tooth loss, bleeding gums, and tooth decay become more likely as people age and their immune systems weaken. Diabetes, as one of the key reasons affecting population health, is also responsible for denture difficulties, which contributes to the expanding market value. The prominent companies in the UAE Oral Care Market are 3M Medical UAE, P&G UAE, GSK UAE, Colgate Palmolive UAE, Philips UAE, Ansar Harford FZC, and Bio fresh Healthcare Products.

According to the report, UAE Oral Care Market Overview, 2028, published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to add USD 0.08 Billion by 2028. Urbanization is accelerating quickly. The UAE is becoming more aware of the advantages of organic personal care products, particularly dental care products, thanks to improved purchasing power and more advertising of naturally derived goods. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, consumer purchasing habits are shifting toward eco-friendly, natural, and organic items. Manufacturers are creating unique products to attract consumers' attention, which helps increase brand awareness and customer loyalty, as well as prevent oral diseases and encourage oral hygiene. Examples of these products are bamboo brushes and vegan toothpaste.

Dental implants have been in high demand in recent years. The demand for implants is increasing as a result of diseases or tooth decay. Furthermore, people with discretionary means are more likely to use braces and have prosthetic teeth implanted. These factors contribute to the expansion of the UAE oral care industry. In 2018, implants accounted for 28% of all dental treatments in the country. General practitioners provided 20% of the treatments. Growth in general treatments can be related to the rising public interest in dental health and increased visits to dentists.

The most frequent ailment affecting children in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an oral disease, specifically early childhood caries. According to available evidence, dental caries remains a pediatric national health problem, despite improvements in the provision of oral health care. Other oral disorders were rarely studied, although current evidence suggests a significant incidence of these diseases. A national survey published in 2009, for example, found that just 37% of 15-year-old schoolchildren had healthy periodontal tissues. Improving oral health is one of the country's top public health priorities. Numerous public health efforts, such as the Community Dental Services (CDSnational)'s oral disease prevention program Dubai Smiles Healthy, have been implemented in schools and health centers in the UAE with the goal of promoting pediatric oral health. Furthermore, Abu Dhabi Smiles is a school-based initiative that was introduced in 2012 to promote awareness and advice on healthy dental hygiene practices for both parents and children aged 5 to 11 years.
