The growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by greater emphasis on patient comfort and convenience, increasing healthcare spending on dental wellness, expansion of e-commerce platforms for oral care, growing adoption of preventive dental treatments, and broader awareness initiatives for oral health management. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include innovations in flavor and long-lasting formulations, advancements in herbal and natural dry mouth sprays, increased investment in oral care research and development, introduction of multifunctional oral sprays, and diversification of products with eco-friendly packaging.

The rising occurrence of dry mouth is expected to support the expansion of the dry mouth spray market. Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition in which the salivary glands do not produce enough saliva, resulting in an uncomfortable dry sensation in the mouth. This condition is increasingly common due to the rising use of long-term medications, many of which list dry mouth as a side effect. Dry mouth spray addresses this issue by offering immediate relief through hydration of the oral cavity, imitating the function of natural saliva, and improving both comfort and oral health for those affected. For example, in November 2024, the Aesthetic Dental Clinic in Australia reported that about 25 percent of older Australians experienced dry mouth due to factors such as aging, medication use, and radiation therapy. In addition, Australians typically had two to three dental visits per year, while only 14 percent received public dental care. This growing prevalence of dry mouth is contributing to the rising demand for dry mouth spray.
