What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Dental Infection Control Market?
The escalating count of individuals suffering from oral ailments is foreseen to boost the expansion of the dental infection control market. Oral ailments encompass an array of conditions that affect the mouth, teeth, gums, and related components, causing uneasiness, hindrance of oral functionality, and possibly systemic health complications. Factors like poor oral hygiene, unhealthy high-sugar diets, tobacco usage, alcohol intake, elderly populations, and scarce access to preventive dental care, escalate the number of patients with oral diseases. Dental infection control products play a crucial role in thwarting cross-contamination while treating oral diseases, including cancers, by making sure that all the tools and surfaces are adequately sanitized and disinfected, thus safeguarding patients with compromised immune systems from further infections. For example, a report by the American Cancer Society, a US-based nonprofit cancer advocacy organization, estimated in January 2024 that around 58,450 adults in the United States, including 41,510 men and 16,940 women, are anticipated to be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer in 2024, in contrast to 54,000 adults in 2022. Hence, the escalating count of patients with oral ailments triggers the growth of the dental infection control market.
