Electric Toothbrush Market Forecast till 2030
Market OverviewThe electric toothbrush market has seen significant growth in recent years, which can be attributed to the rising awareness of the importance of oral hygiene. This growing awareness has been a crucial factor driving the demand for electric toothbrushes, which are increasingly considered a more effective way to clean teeth. The increasing prevalence of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath has also contributed to the heightened awareness of oral hygiene. This, in turn, has led people to seek out products that can help prevent these issues. Electric toothbrushes have emerged as a popular solution, given their ability to remove more plaque and bacteria from teeth compared to manual toothbrushes, as well as their potential to reduce gingivitis and gum disease.
As a result of this growing demand, the electric toothbrush market has expanded to offer a range of products catering to specific needs. These include kid's electric toothbrushes, adult electric toothbrushes, black electric toothbrushes, power toothbrushes, oral toothbrushes, bamboo electric toothbrushes, and electric toothbrushes for braces, among others. The market is characterized by ongoing research and development efforts to create new and innovative products that cater to changing consumer needs.
Segment OverviewThe market for electric toothbrushes can be segmented into two product types: rechargeable and battery-operated. In terms of revenue, the rechargeable toothbrush segment held the majority share in 2021. This is attributed to the increased commercialization of electric toothbrushes, which has resulted in several innovations in recent years. However, changes in consumer demand have compelled market players to focus on research and development (R&D) to launch new products that cater to specific needs, such as toothbrushes for braces, ultrasonic toothbrushes, toothbrushes with Bluetooth connectivity, vibrating toothbrushes, smart toothbrushes, tooth whitening toothbrushes, and tooth sensitivity toothbrushes. These innovations are helping market players to expand their customer base and grow their businesses.
Regional AnalysisDuring the study period, the North American electric toothbrush market held the second-largest market share, primarily due to key manufacturers expanding their product portfolios and technological innovation. The U.S. electric toothbrush market held the largest market share, and the Canadian electric toothbrush market was the fastest-growing market in the European region.
In the Asia-Pacific region, the electric toothbrush market is expected to experience significant growth with a high CAGR, driven by increasing per capita disposable income and the growth of the middle-income group in emerging economies. China held the largest market share in the electric toothbrush market, and India's market was the fastest-growing in the region. In India, battery-operated toothbrushes were the standard upgrade choice until 2019 due to their oscillating and vibrating heads' efficiency in clearing plaque. However, due to the rising price and improved functionality, Indian consumers are now adopting electronic toothbrushes more rapidly. For instance, Xiaomi released its T100 electric toothbrush in India in June 2020, which has minimal noise, a sleek design, and a 30-day battery life. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period of 2022-2030.

COVID 19 ImpactsThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the global electric toothbrush market. On one hand, there has been a decrease in demand for non-essential items due to economic uncertainty and reduced consumer spending. On the other hand, there has been an increased focus on personal hygiene and health, which has led to a surge in demand for oral care products like electric toothbrushes.
During the pandemic, people have become more conscious of maintaining good oral hygiene and health, leading to a rise in demand for electric toothbrushes. Additionally, with people spending more time at home, they have been more focused on maintaining a healthy routine, including oral care, which has further fueled the demand for electric toothbrushes.
However, the pandemic has also disrupted the supply chain and production of electric toothbrushes, leading to a shortage of products in some regions. The closure of manufacturing plants and logistical challenges in transporting goods has caused delays and supply chain disruptions.
Moreover, the pandemic has also led to a shift in consumer preferences towards affordable and value-for-money products, as consumers are more cautious about their spending habits. This has led to a preference for lower-priced electric toothbrush models rather than high-end and premium products.
