Mouth ulcers are painful sores that can form in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity or beneath the gums, limiting a person's ability to chew, bite, or eat. Depending on the size, shape, and number, the mouth ulcer can be classified as a minor ulcer (2–8 mm in diameter), a major ulcer (bigger and with uneven edges), or a herpetiform ulcer (a bunch of smaller injuries with irregular shapes).
Mouth ulcers are caused primarily by viral or bacterial infection, drug reactions, tooth decay, dentures, mechanical trauma, emotional stress, nutrient deficiency, hormonal changes, and food allergy. The prevalence of mouth ulcers is around 4% globally, and aphthous ulcers are the most common, affecting around 25% of the population worldwide. The mouth ulcer treatment market can be segmented on the basis of drug class, such as corticosteroids, anesthetics, analgesics, antimicrobials, and antihistamines. The mouth ulcer treatment market can also be segmented on the basis of formulation, such as gel, spray, mouthwash, and lozenges, while the mouth ulcer treatment market can be segmented by indication, such as aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, and others.
An increasing geriatric population, rising prevalence of mouth ulcers, and growing health awareness among the public to quit smoking would drive the mouth ulcer treatment market. The advanced healthcare infrastructure of developed countries, as well as the high market penetration of a variety of oral hygiene care products, will further fuel the growth of the mouth ulcer treatment market, whereas the lack of public health awareness in developing countries, as well as the availability of substitute products such as herbal remedies for oral care products, will restrain the growth of the mouth ulcer treatment market. Additionally, the side effects or adverse reactions of the chemicals used in formulations negatively influence the growth of the mouth ulcer treatment market.
Because of technological advancements in oral and dental care diagnostic procedures, the North American market is expected to dominate the mouth ulcer treatment market. Lucrative growth in the mouth ulcer treatment market is expected in the Asia-Pacific region due to rising health awareness and cost-effective treatment procedures.
