LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global dental floss market is projected to grow to USD 4,169.18 million by 2021, at a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest report.
In this report, Technavio covers the market outlook and growth prospects of the global dental floss market for 2017-2021. Based on the product type, the market is divided into waxed floss and unwaxed floss segments.
Dental floss is essentially a thread, which removes food trapped between teeth and removes the film of bacteria that forms there before it has a chance to harden into plaque. The increased interest among consumers in adopting preventive healthcare measures is one of the key driving factors of the global dental floss market.
Technavio’s research study segments the global dental floss market into the following regions:
- Americas
- EMEA
- APAC
Dental floss market in the Americas
“The Americas dominated the dental floss market in 2016, holding close to 50% of the overall shares. The market dominance is set to continue, owing to increased dentist recommendations and increased attention towards oral hygiene,” says Krishna Venkataramani, a lead analyst at Technavio for health and wellness research.
The dominance of the Americas is majorly due to the high awareness and accessibility of the dental floss in countries such as the US. Furthermore, with the rise in disposable income, the demand for improved oral care products like mouthwash, dental floss, denture care, and whitening strips have increased.
