The global mouth ulcers treatment market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The market is expected to be driven by rising awareness about oral hygiene and an increase in the geriatric population. Mouth ulcers are painful sores and bruises that appear in the mouth mucous membrane. Some of the key growth stimulants for the market include the increasing use of synthetics in oral products such as toothpaste and the growing move towards unhealthy lifestyles, which include excessive intake of junk food and smoke.
On the other hand, people have a careless attitude toward mouth ulcers, which may have a negative impact on market growth. There is a lack of understanding that if mouth ulcers are not treated promptly, they might progress to cancer. Nonetheless, healthcare experts are taking proactive measures and conducting tests to raise awareness and prevent the severe effects of mouth ulcers. This trend is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
The market is segmented into antibacterial, antihistamine, analgesics & corticosteroids, and others based on drug class. Anesthetics and antiseptics are included in the other segment, which is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. These are typically used to alleviate severe pain for a limited time and in cases of small lesions. These medications are prescribed by doctors to alleviate pain and speed up the healing process. As analgesics and corticosteroids are the most commonly prescribed pain relievers in the world, they are expected to grow at the fastest rate. They're used to treat oral ulcers and sores as well as painkillers. Anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids aid in the reduction of inflammation induced by infection. Furthermore, it attaches to intracellular receptors and modifies gene expression, preventing microorganisms from acting. Doctors administer analgesics and corticosteroids the most all around the world. As these medications are particularly effective for a variety of oral ailments, this market is expected to increase rapidly.
