Analyse the Oral Care Market in India Where Low Penetration Offers Growth Opportunities

Thu May 1, 2008 8:01am EDT
DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90584) has announced the
addition of Indian Oral Care Market: Low Penetration Offers Growth
Opportunities to their offering.

   In India, oral care market offers huge potential as penetration
and per capita consumption of oral care products is very low. However,
rising per capita income and increasing awareness is driving demand of
oral care products. Consumers have started switching to value-added
toothpastes like gels, mouth washes, and teeth whitening products. In
rural areas, consumers are switching from toothpowders to toothpastes.
A key industry trend is the move towards natural products comprising
of herbs, vitamins and minerals.

   A serious challenge for the industry is the low dentist-population
ratio, with just one dentist for 10,000 people in urban areas and
about 0.25 million people in rural areas. There is an urgent need of
more dental health practitioners with relevant qualifications and
training.

   Government has taken various initiatives like dental health camps
to promote good oral care. Manufacturers have used advertising
campaigns to promote higher consumption of toothpastes and
toothbrushes.

   Colgate and HUL together account for over two-thirds of the
organized toothpaste market. In toothpowder market, Colgate, HUL and
Dabur are the major players.

   The report analyzes the oral care market in India. It also
provides a brief overview of the world and US oral care market. The
report also profiles the major companies, with a discussion of their
key business strategies. It also analyzes the major drivers and issues
in the oral care market.
