Market drivers: consumer behavior, formulation and channels
Consumers are increasingly favoring products that align with daily routines, frequent travel and sustainability preferences. Waterless formats address several shortcomings of liquid mouthwash: reliance on single-use plastic bottles, higher transport weight and alcohol-based formulations that can limit repeated use. Product activity between 2024 and 2026 signals emphasis on waterless formats, alcohol-free systems, and functional ingredients such as hydroxyapatite and xylitol that support enamel care and gentler daily hygiene.
Online retail and subscription models are playing a critical role in expansion: tablets are compact, easy to ship and straightforward to replenish. As Cecilia Gates, CEO of Gates Creative, notes, “It’s more eco-conscious… it’s more relevant to how people live their lives because people right now are so mobile and on-the-go.”
Segmentation and channel outlook
• By type: Therapeutic vs. Cosmetic. Therapeutic tablets hold the lead with a 54.6% share in 2026, reflecting stronger demand for plaque control, sensitivity management and gum care beyond breath freshness.
• By application: Household usage dominates, representing 63.2% of demand as tablets transition into morning and evening routines; hospital and dental clinic use remains important for supervised or short-term protocols.
The shift toward therapeutic and preventive positioning is influencing claims, ingredient transparency and clinical relevance in both consumer and professional channels.
Country highlights and regional dynamics
China leads market value and adoption dynamics, registering a 7.8% CAGR driven by e-commerce-first purchasing, compact-living convenience and strong brand activity. India’s 7.2% CAGR stems from urbanization, affordability across price tiers and digital distribution. Germany’s 6.6% CAGR reflects sustainability-driven purchasing and pharmacy-led trust in new solid formats; Brazil’s 6.0% pace aligns with climate and lifestyle drivers that favor portable hygiene solutions. The United States posts steady growth at 5.5%, with tablets largely supplementing rather than displacing entrenched liquid formats.
Competitive landscape and industry implications
Major consumer-health companies are extending portfolios into solid and unit-dose formats to maintain relevance; early competitive strength is measured by formulation discipline, regulatory readiness and ability to integrate tablets into broader oral-care systems rather than by volume alone. Notable players referenced in the analysis include Colgate, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, GSK, Sunstar, Sanofi and Lion Corporation, alongside regional/wellness-led brands such as Veimeizi, Amway and Twin Lotus.
Innovation, regulation and recent developments
Formulation optimization (taste, dissolution speed, ingredient purity) and supplier validation are critical as tablets move from trial to routine use. Safety and dosage accuracy have risen on retailer and regulatory checklists. Recent developments cited by FMI include Bite’s October 2025 launch of a Nano-Foam Mouthwash Tablet Series with micro-aerated dispersal technology and Huppy’s July 2025 production expansion in California to scale fluoride-free and nano-hydroxyapatite tablets for North America.
Key takeaways for industry stakeholders
• Mouthwash tablets are shifting from novelty to preventive oral care, offering precise dosing and logistics advantages.
• Therapeutic formulations and alcohol-free systems are central to mass adoption.
• E-commerce and subscription channels will underpin repeat purchases and scalability.
• Competitive advantage will favor companies able to demonstrate formulation reliability, regulatory compliance and clinical positioning.
