The growing patient population suffering from oral diseases due to unhealthy habits is majorly driving the Latin American market.

Owing to the rising awareness programs about the use of oral products and oral diseases by several organizations and key market players, people are aware of the risks associated with oral problems and opt for oral care products to prevent oral diseases. The most common oral diseases are oral cancer, gum diseases, loose teeth, and others. Furthermore, the growing aging population in the Latin American region contributes to the growth of the Latin American oral care market. With increasing age, people suffer from several dental issues due to changes in daily nutrition. Therefore, the usage of oral care products is further increasing due to the growing aging population and driving the market growth in Latin America.

The growing number of R&D activities around oral care products and increasing adoption of technological developments in manufacturing oral care products are predicted to fuel the growth rate of the Latin American market. Manufacturers of oral care products are focusing on developing oral care products using advanced technologies.
