The rising rate of tobacco consumption is expected to drive the growth of the sensitive toothpaste market going forward. Tobacco consumption involves the use of tobacco products, such as smoking, chewing, or snuffing, which introduces nicotine and other chemicals into the body. Sensitive toothpaste plays a crucial role in addressing dental issues caused by tobacco use by relieving tooth sensitivity and maintaining oral health, encouraging users to continue seeking dental care despite tobacco’s harmful effects. For example, in May 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, reported that around 28.3 million adults in the United States are cigarette smokers, and over 3.08 million middle and high school students use at least one tobacco product. Every day, about 1,600 U.S. youth under 18 smoke their first cigarette. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of tobacco use is expected to propel the sensitive toothpaste market.

Leading companies in the sensitive toothpaste market are focusing on launching natural products, such as Sensitivity and Whitening Fluoride-Free Toothpaste, to strengthen their market position. Sensitivity and Whitening Fluoride-Free Toothpaste provides relief for sensitive teeth while offering whitening benefits. For instance, in August 2023, Tom's of Maine, a US-based personal care company, introduced Sensitivity and Whitening Fluoride-Free Toothpaste, designed to offer sensitivity relief and whitening benefits without fluoride. The formula uses naturally sourced ingredients and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The toothpaste features an amino acid arginine and calcium carbonate complex, which blocks open dentin tubules that cause sensitivity, providing relief within 60 seconds. Regular use ensures long-lasting protection, while its advanced whitening action offers a safe and effective natural solution for sensitive teeth.

In March 2024, Sensodyne, a UK-based oral care brand specializing in sensitivity-relief toothpastes, partnered with 136 dental colleges across India in an undisclosed collaboration. The partnership aims to strengthen professional engagement, raise awareness of tooth sensitivity, and promote the adoption of Sensodyne’s sensitivity-relief toothpaste among future dental practitioners through educational initiatives and free dental-checkup campaigns. The 136 dental colleges are India-based institutions providing clinical training, oral health education, and patient-care services to future dental professionals.
