The Oral care market continues to evolve and today consumers are more open to trying new products that help provide them better oral health. Herbal Oral Care solutions continues to have strong acceptance among consumers. In 2013, we were the first company to launch a range of herbal toothpastes, catering to sensitivity, whitening, multi-benefit and fresh breath and today, we are the first to launch mouthwashes. We are excited to be part of this emerging category and our aim is to achieve 10% market share in a year’s time”.

Mr. Sushil Goswami – Category Manager – Oral Care, The Himalaya Drug Company said, “In India, the oral care industry is largely dominated by toothpaste segment followed by the toothbrush segment. Segments like mouthwash and dental floss are mainly driven by demands in urban markets. Since the penetration of these categories is very low, there is potential for growth. Riding on the herbal wave and being true to our legacy, we have now expanded our oral care range by introducing a new alcohol free range of herbal mouthwashes. Our range of mouthwashes complement our toothpastes and we aim to give our consumers a wholesome daily oral care ritual that will contribute towards their overall health and well-being”.
