Oral hygiene
Article Abstract:
Consumer awareness of the advantages of preventative oral hygiene reportedly increased in European countries such as France, Italy, UK, Germany and Spain. This awareness has contributed to the strong sales of the oral hygiene products, amounting to $1,221 million in 1996. Value growth in the industry is affected by price competition and premium-oriented segmentation. Toothpaste remains the fastest growing segment in the five European markets examined, posting increases in four out of the five markets.
