Key Market Trends

Liver Disorders Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Halitosis Market

Although 90% of halitosis is intra-oral, it is still important to consider potential extra-oral systemic causes. For instance as per the study published by the Australian Dental Journal in 2020, the liver is one of the most important extra-oral sources of bad breath, with its chronic infection affecting approximately 400 million people around the world. The term fetor hepaticus, referring to a slightly sweet, musty and faecal breath is directly correlated with hepatitis and liver failure.

According to a study published by National Library of Medicine in 2020, an estimated 1.5 billion persons have chronic liver disease worldwide and the age-standardized incidence of chronic liver disese and cirrhosis is 20.7/100,000, a 13% increase since 2000. Similarly, cirrhosis prevalence and mortality has increased in recent years in the United States. With the increase in liver diseases cases there is an increase in the people suffering from bad breath and hence, the Halitosis market is expected to show an increase in the forecast period.

Thus, due to the above-mentioned reasons, the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
