Gingivitis is a widespread and mild type of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes inflammation, redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, mainly due to plaque buildup along the gumline. If not treated, it can develop into more severe periodontal issues, possibly resulting in gum recession and tooth loss.
The primary treatments for gingivitis include medications, surgical interventions, and non-surgical options. Medications for gingivitis consist of antimicrobial mouthwashes, antiseptic gels, and antibiotics that help reduce inflammation, control bacterial growth, and aid in gum healing. These treatments are available through various administration methods, such as oral and topical, and are distributed via retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and online platforms. The end-users of these treatments include hospitals, dental clinics, and homecare settings.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

This gingivitis market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The gingivitis market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $7.12 billion in 2024 to $7.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising cases of poor oral hygiene, increasing prevalence of hormonal changes, increasing adoption of scaling and root planning, escalating demand for enzymatic therapy, and rising health care spending and dental insurance.
The gingivitis market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing utilization of laser therapy, rising disease awareness, favorable regulatory environments, a shift in healthcare policy, and increasing prevalence of gum disease. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in biotechnology, advancements in personalized medicine, innovation in treatment modalities, innovation in products and technologies, and advanced antimicrobial treatment.
The forecast of 4.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder U.S. preventive dental care by inflating prices of antimicrobial mouthwashes and ultrasonic scalers developed in Switzerland and Japan, resulting in worsened oral hygiene outcomes and higher dental practice costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing prevalence of gum disease is expected to drive the expansion of the gingivitis market in the coming years. Gum disease is a common oral condition that involves the inflammation, infection, or deterioration of the gums and surrounding tissues, mainly caused by plaque accumulation and inadequate oral care. The rise in gum disease is largely attributed to poor oral hygiene, which leads to plaque buildup and bacterial infections. Additionally, unhealthy diets high in sugar and processed foods contribute to gum inflammation, while smoking weakens the immune system, making the gums more vulnerable to infection. Gingivitis, being the earliest stage of gum disease, plays a significant role in the increasing prevalence of the condition as it can lead to more severe forms such as periodontitis if untreated. This highlights the importance of early intervention and preventive care. For example, a report by the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities (OHID) in January 2024 showed that the percentage of adults diagnosed with gum disease increased from 4% among individuals aged 16-24 to 28% among those aged 55-64, indicating a higher prevalence with age. Consequently, the increasing rate of gum disease is contributing to the growth of the gingivitis market.
Companies in the gingivitis market are innovating by developing products such as formulated toothpaste. These toothpastes are designed with specific active ingredients to address oral health concerns such as gum inflammation, plaque buildup, and overall oral health. For instance, in February 2023, Frimline Private Limited, an India-based healthcare and personal care company, launched Dente91 She toothpaste. This innovative product contains lactoferrin, a powerful antimicrobial protein that helps protect against oral infections and inflammation. Unlike traditional toothpaste, Dente91 She is enriched with folic acid (vitamin B9) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to support women's oral health during various hormonal changes, including puberty and menopause.
In October 2024, Natural Dentist LLC, a US-based oral care company, acquired Caldwell Consumer Products. This acquisition, which includes brands such as The Natural Dentist, Stim-U-Dent, Fresh 'n Brite, and EarthPicks, aims to strengthen Natural Dentist LLC's product portfolio and improve its supply chain efficiency. Caldwell Consumer Products, based in the US, specializes in oral care and personal health products, and the acquisition is expected to drive further innovation in holistic oral care solutions.
