A dry mouth spray, also called an oral moisturizing spray, is an over-the-counter topical product developed to provide quick and temporary relief from dry mouth, medically referred to as xerostomia. It is a portable liquid solution delivered as a fine mist into the mouth through a manual pump or aerosol system. These sprays help lubricate and hydrate oral tissues, making it easier to speak, chew, and swallow. Many formulations also include soothing agents that freshen breath and support overall oral health.
The main product categories of dry mouth spray are sugary dry mouth sprays and sugar-free dry mouth sprays. Sugary dry mouth sprays contain added sugar to enhance taste while providing temporary moisture in the mouth. Distribution channels include online pharmacies, retail pharmacies, supermarkets or hypermarkets, and other outlets, with applications across hospitals and clinics, home care, dental practices, and related settings.

The dry mouth spray market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.98 billion in 2024 to $1.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth during the historic period was driven by the rising prevalence of xerostomia, increasing awareness of oral hygiene, a growing elderly population experiencing dry mouth, wider availability of dental care products in retail channels, and a higher incidence of chronic diseases associated with dry mouth.
The dry mouth spray market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. 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.

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.
