1. Market Overview

Dental floss is one of the fastest-growing auxiliary oral hygiene products in the oral care market. The American Dental Association (ADA) advises that flossing can help remove plaque between teeth and maintain gum health, and as a culture of preventive dental care spreads, flossing usage rates are also increasing.

The global market is becoming segmented beyond regular dental floss into waxed floss, wax-free floss, mint floss, PTFE floss, bamboo floss, biodegradable floss, dental floss picks, and children's floss. In particular, demand for eco-friendly floss that reduces plastic use and refillable dispenser products is on the rise due to the expansion of ESG and sustainable consumption.

The OEM and ODM markets are also active. Global retailers, pharmacy chains, online private brand (PB) brands, and specialized dental brands are launching their own-brand dental floss, and requests for Requests (RFQs) featuring differentiated packaging designs, scents, and coating methods are consistently being received.

In the B2B market, major demand sources include dental clinics, hospitals, hotels, travel sets, airlines, schools, military units, and corporate promotional markets. In particular, since hotel amenities and travel oral care sets are often supplied together with toothbrushes and toothpaste, recurring RFQs occur.

From a MarketHub perspective, dental floss is evaluated as a high-value, repeat purchase RFQ item with high growth potential among oral care products .
