Dental Floss Market Size

Dental Floss Market size was over USD 661.6 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 1463.9 billion by the end of 2036, growing at around 6.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In 2024, the industry size of dental floss is assessed at USD 703.2 billion.

The global prevalence of dental conditions and periodontal diseases due to poor eating habits, excessive consumption of sweetened foods and drinks, and insufficient oral hygiene practices are driving the dental floss market demand. Several studies suggest the alarming rise in dental diseases and the importance of oral health. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 study, untreated dental caries has affected about 2.5 billion people and is estimated to be the most common dental condition globally. Additionally, every year about 380000 new cases of oral cancers are diagnosed. Preventive care has gained popularity in recent years to mitigate the risks of serious health problems, thereby, aiding market adoption.

Dental floss is the most commonly recommended interdental cleaner owing to its ability to remove interproximal food and dental biofilm. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified dental floss as a Class I medical device and is exempt from Premarket Notification 510(k). As a Class I medical device, interdental floss is deemed to be a low-risk product, the dental floss market is subject to the least regulatory controls. This facilitates the entry of new players and drives competitiveness in the market.
