Threat of New Entrants (Low): High brand loyalty and the dominance of giants like P&G and Haleon make it difficult for new brands to gain shelf space.
-
Bargaining Power of Buyers (Medium): Consumers have many OTC options, but often stick to brands recommended by their dentists.
-
Bargaining Power of Suppliers (Low): Raw materials (polymers, cellulose) are standard commodities with multiple suppliers.
-
Threat of Substitutes (High): Permanent dental implants and "All-on-4" procedures are the biggest long-term threats to the denture market.
-
Competitive Rivalry (High): Intense competition between top-tier brands on the basis of "duration of hold" and "zinc-free" claims.
SWOT Analysis
-
Strengths: Essential nature of the product for denture wearers; high repeat-purchase rate.
-
Weaknesses: Product messiness can deter younger denture wearers; occasional gum irritation issues.
-
Opportunities: Expansion into "Zinc-Free" and "Natural" formulations; rising geriatric population in emerging economies.

Threats: Advancements in dental implant surgery reducing the need for removable dentures.
Trend Analysis & Drivers
