Oral health and dental aesthetic issues are becoming more and more of a topic of concern for young people. When the Z-era gradually becomes the main consumer group, its lazy economy, personalized, intelligent, professional, and other consumer labels coincided with the demand for oral care and cleaning. It allows oral care and cleaning products to usher in a growth opportunity.
Unlike previous years when Philips and Oral B dominated the oral cleaning market. Many brands are also building on product development and product upgrades. They break the monopoly advantage of the above two leading patent layouts in the early years. Continuing to tear up the international market and are gradually opening up the market in a highly competitive market.
Oral care product’s explosive growth
In the past two years, oral care cleaning products have been growing at a phenomenal rate on major platforms. Data shows that in 2020, electric toothbrushes and flossers saw explosive growth in a number of overseas markets, including Europe and the Middle East. Among them, France has seen year-on-year growth of over 140%, Germany’s 160%, Poland’s 90%, and Saudi Arabia’s over 420%.
Three reasons for the explosive growth
In the wake of the epidemic, overseas consumers who had migrated online began to try more Chinese brands and products. Chinese brands are also using e-commerce platforms to bypass the lengthy offline channel rollout and open up e-commerce channels to reach overseas consumers. Oral care and cleaning products have also taken the opportunity to go overseas. These products have disrupted the established market pattern and brought about a round of reshuffling, making them a strong category for Made in China.
China has a well-manufactured supply chain. The ultimate price-performance ratio makes the going abroad for Chinese oral cleaning care products no accident.
The technological precipitation, accumulation, and innovation of Chinese manufacturing are constantly breaking through the patent barriers of foreign giants and building their own competitiveness. As a result, Chinese brands have been able to compete with internationally renowned brands.
Combining their technical advantages, Chinese companies have been exploring new oral care technologies and developing oral care products suitable for the market. They have obtained a number of international safety certifications such as UL, CE, and GS. Their products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions.
