Oral care was less affected by the pandemic, as consumers consider it an essential product. In 2021, value and volume sales were nearly on par with 2020.
Global player Colgate-Palmolive continued to dominate oral care in Costa Rica in value terms in 2021. It was followed at a distance by fellow multinationals Procter & Gamble Interamericas de Costa Rica, Unilever de Centroamérica and Johnson & Johnson de Costa Rica.
There was increased product differentiation within toothbrushes and increasing options for environmentally-conscious consumers. For instance, Colgate-Palmolive offers the bamboo charcoal toothbrush, which is made with 100% natural, biodegradable bamboo and is free from plastic packaging.
Oral care will register muted constant value over the forecast period in what is a mature product area. More specialised, niche products will register higher growth.
Oral care is a product area where consumers feel like they need to trust the brand they are using. Unlike other products such as soap, where consumers are open to trying new brands, consumers are hesitant to try new brands within oral care.
Rising health and image-consciousness are likely to be particularly influential in strengthening consumer interest in more sophisticated products offering superior efficacy and added-value benefits.
