Dry Mouth Spray Market Report 2026

The dry mouth spray market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2025 to $1.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of dry mouth conditions, rising geriatric population, increased medication-induced xerostomia cases, expansion of oral healthcare awareness, availability of over-the-counter relief products.

The dry mouth spray market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for medicated oral care solutions, rising focus on preventive oral healthcare, expansion of e-commerce healthcare distribution, growing development of natural ingredient formulations, increasing consumer preference for convenient oral products. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for xerostomia relief products, rising adoption of sugar-free oral care formulations, growing use of portable and easy-to-use oral sprays, expansion of therapeutic ingredient-based sprays, enhanced focus on oral comfort and quality of life.

The increasing elderly population worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the dry mouth spray market in the coming years. The elderly population refers to individuals aged 65 and above, a demographic that is expanding globally due to longer life expectancy and declining birth rates. The rise in the elderly population is mainly attributed to advancements in healthcare and medicine that have extended life expectancy, along with declining fertility rates in many regions. Dry mouth spray benefits the elderly population by providing immediate, targeted relief for xerostomia (dry mouth), a common condition in older adults caused by age-related salivary gland dysfunction and the use of multiple medications. For example, in July 2024, according to the UK Parliament's House of Commons Library, a UK-based government body, there were 12.7 million people aged 65 or older in the UK in 2022, representing 19% of the total population. This number is expected to increase to 22.1 million by 2072, accounting for 27% of the population. Therefore, the growing elderly population worldwide is driving the expansion of the dry mouth spray market.

The rising prevalence of dry mouth is expected to drive the growth of the dry mouth spray market in the coming years. Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition in which the salivary glands produce insufficient saliva, resulting in a dry sensation in the mouth. The increasing prevalence of dry mouth is largely attributed to the growing use of long-term medications, which frequently cause dry mouth as a side effect. Dry mouth sprays are effective against this rising prevalence because they offer rapid relief by moisturizing the oral cavity, simulating natural saliva, and enhancing comfort and oral health for affected individuals. For example, in November 2024, the Aesthetic Dental Clinic, an Australia-based oral health service provider, reported that approximately 25% of older Australians experienced dry mouth due to age-related factors, medications, and radiation treatments. Moreover, Australians averaged 2-3 dental visits per year, with only 1 in 7 (14%) receiving public dental care. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of dry mouth is expected to support the growth of the dry mouth spray market.

Major companies operating in the dry mouth spray market are concentrating on technological innovations, such as oxidized glycerol triesters (OGT), to improve the effectiveness, delivery accuracy, and patient experience of oral hydration products, thereby offering faster relief and enhanced oral health outcomes. Oxidized glycerol triesters (OGT) are a type of chemical compound produced when fats and oils (triglycerides) undergo oxidation. For example, in October 2023, K Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a US-based telehealth company, introduced Aquoral, a clinically validated oral spray developed to alleviate dry mouth, also referred to as xerostomia. This prescription-only product is available exclusively through its integrated telehealth platform after a virtual consultation, features a patented lipid-based formula that mimics natural saliva, and provides long-lasting protection for the oral mucosa. Aquoral helps enhance oral comfort and supports overall oral health by maintaining moisture in the mouth, particularly for patients experiencing chronic dry mouth. It utilizes a lipid-based formula specifically designed to adhere to the oral mucosa, forming a protective barrier that minimizes dryness and irritation throughout the day.
