REPORT DESCRIPTION
Halitosis Treatment Market – Overview
Increasing consumption of tobacco and alcohol, medical condition such as tonsils and inflammation of nose,
throat or sinuses and metabolic diseases are the major factors driving the halitosis treatment market growth.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2013 study, halitosis is very common
and affects around 50% of the general population around the world.
Although halitosis has multifactorial origins, around 90% cases occur due to oral cavity such as poor oral hygiene,
tongue coat, periodontal disease, unclean dentures, food impaction, oral carcinomas, faulty restorations, and throat
infections. Treatment of halitosis is very important, as it can cause serious conditions such as stress. According to
the Bad Breath Institute 2018 study, people with halitosis are 60% more likely to suffer from stress, while 57% of
bad breath sufferers report feelings of depression due to their condition. However, lack of awareness among the
under developed regions can confine the halitosis treatment market growth.
Halitosis originates from an oral or a non-oral source. It is caused by volatile molecules, which are developed due
to pathological or non-pathological reasons. These volatile compounds are aromatic compounds, sulphur
compounds, short-chain fatty acids, nitrogen-containing compounds, amines, aliphatic compounds, alcohols or
phenyl compounds, and ketones.
