France is one of the leading dental care markets in Europe along with Germany, UK, Italy, and Spain. Thus, the growth of the French market also propels the European market forward. The Europe oral care market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% between 2024-2032 and is projected to reach USD 13.9 billion in 2026.  The Europe market is being driven by a rising awareness of oral hygiene due to the growing prevalence of diseases like dental caries, periodontal diseases, and dental (acid) erosion. While almost 100% of the adult European population between the ages of 35 to 45 years are suffering from caries, between 20-90% of the children in the continent are afflicted with caries. To combat the rise in dental health problems, countries in Europe are increasingly adopting initiatives supported by governments, individual communities, or both to promote dental hygiene and to prevent the occurrence of dental diseases.

In France, the promotion of dental hygiene across all age groups is aiding the regional market. Oral health education programmes targeting school children along with community interventions in the country will further help the industry growth. The Union Français pour la Santé Bucco-Dentaire (UFSBD) or the French Union for Oral Health is the chief organisation responsible for raising awareness among the population regarding oral health and hygiene issues and promotes the ‘consciousness of prevention’ among the dental profession. The organisation targets groups such as the elderly, young children, new parents, pregnant women, and other more vulnerable groups.

Market Analysis

The rise in the ageing population is a significant driving force for the Europe oral care market with the aged being more prone to dental diseases like dental caries and periodontitis. Between 5% to 51% of 65-74 year olds in Europe suffer from dental caries. On the other hand, almost 70% to 80% of the European population between the ages of 60 to 65 years are afflicted by some form of periodontitis, a disease which inflames the gums. France, like the other European countries, also has a growing ageing population. By 2060, nearly a third of the population in the country will be over the age of 60 with about 5 million people over the age of 85 years. France’s dental hygiene programmes, thus, particularly targets the elderly, and aims at educating not just the elderly population but also their families and caregivers about the importance of dental health. This, in turn, is also furthering the oral care industry in the country. The ageing population will also drive the demand for specialised products for teeth whitening as teeth lose their brightness with ageing because of the increasing darkness of dentin and the thinning of the enamel.
