The global artificial saliva market was valued at USD 800 Mn in 2021 and is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 13% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Artificial saliva is a substitute for natural saliva that moisturizes and smooths the mouth while also providing a barrier to reduce the risk of physical problems brought on by persistent dry mouth. It can relieve symptoms including dry mouth, stickiness, and poor breath. Many clinical situations, such as the presence of cellular components, inflammatory activators, or high glucose conditions, are not accurately modeled by artificial saliva solutions used to evaluate the electrochemical behavior of materials in the oral cavity.
The rising prevalence of dry mouth syndrome, which causes decreased salivary flow and mucosal dryness, propels the artificial saliva industry forward. As the risk of dry mouth syndrome and dysphagia rises due to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the product’s demand is also increasing due to the growing geriatric population with a large number of cancer cases worldwide. Also rising awareness about the fewer complications associated with oral gels and liquids and rising expenditure on oral care products propel the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, approximately 89,500 cancer cases were diagnosed and about 9,270 cancer deaths in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) ages 15 to 39 years in the U.S. in 2020.
GSK plc.; Cipla Inc.; Mission Pharmacal Company; Fresenius Kabi AG; Parnell Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; CCMed Ltd.; ENTOD INTERNATIONAL; Midatech Pharma PLC; Forward Science; Bausch Health Companies Inc. are some of the key players in the market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst product type, oral spray category to witness robust CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on product type, the market is segmented into oral spray, oral solution, oral liquid, gel, and powder. The oral spray category is to witness robust CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to their ease of use, efficiency & low cost, and these sprays are commonly used to treat dry mouth conditions. Also, increasing product development by key players drives the growth of the segment. For instance, Mouth Kote-MD, a mouth spray based on MycoDelens, a proprietary substance created and licensed by New Mexico Tech University, was presented by Parnell Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 2021.
“Amongst age group, the adult category dominated the growth of the artificial saliva market in 2021”
On the basis of age group, the market is bifurcated into adult and pediatric. Among these, the adult category dominated the growth of the artificial saliva market in 2021. This is mainly due to the artificial saliva being used more by adult patients and this is unlikely to change anytime soon as the dry mouth condition is typically more common in adult patients than pediatric ones.
The other factor for the growth of this segment is the growing dysphagia condition due to mouth cancer or oesophageal cancer. For instance, according to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF International), around 604,100 new cases of oesophageal cancer were diagnosed in 2020.
“North America to hold a significant share in the market”
For a better understanding of the market adoption of the artificial saliva industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the availability of major market key players, rising awareness about oral diseases, growing product utilization to treat xerostomia, rising disposable incomes, increasing prevalence of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, growing technological advancements, and presence of a large patient population in the region, which is expected to aid the market growth. For instance, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention (CDC), in 2020, as many as 5.8 million Americans were living with Alzheimer’s disease.
