India Toothpaste market
Source : https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/colgates-herbal-push-fails-to-stem-decline-in-toothpaste-market-share
Data highlights that Colgate being
market leader, has lost M.S as of MAT
Apr-21.
Colgate’s launch of herbal variants
such as Vedshakti, Cibaca Vedshakti,
Active Salt, Neem and Sensitive with
clove oil failed to stem the decline.
Dabur, on the other hand, has been
constantly seeing a rise in demand
across its toothpaste brands over the
last few years.
Market share for other competitors in
the toothpaste segment such as
Pepsodent from Hindustan Unilever
Ltd. remained stable.
GSK Consumer Healthcare Ltd., which
sells a variety of toothpastes under the
brand name Sensodyne for treating
tooth sensitivity, has witnessed a
steady increase since 2018.
