Innovations in the Electric Toothbrush Industry

The electric toothbrush industry previously witnessed fierce competition. Data shows that from 2017 to 2020, the scale of the electric toothbrush industry in China grew from less than 6 billion yuan to nearly 12 billion yuan. However, it declined for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022, returning to a scale of 6 billion yuan. Another set of statistics shows that although there are over 300 electric toothbrush brands, the overall industry penetration rate is only 8%, significantly lower than the over 40% penetration rate in European and American markets. The market size of electric toothbrushes showed a rebound trend in 2023.
