The high incidence of dental caries has also majorly driven the market. In the UK, 20% of the people are believed to be affected by recurrent aphthous ulceration. As per The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Moreover, increasing recommendation from dental physicians for the treatment of plague and gingivitis fuels the growth of the mouthwash market. Besides, mouthwash when used in mouthwashes, antimicrobial ingredients such as cetylpyridinium, chlorhexidine, and essential oils have been shown to reduce plaque and gingivitis when combined with daily brushing and flossing. Further, mouthwash boosts oral health and gives breathe a makeover as it contains fluoride, which can help reduce cavities and demineralization of teeth. Fluoride rinse mouthwash contains 0.05% of Sodium Fluoride, which is enough to avoid tooth decay. Also, herbal mouthwashes have potential benefits in plaque and inflammation control as supplements to patients' daily oral hygiene with gingivitis.

The COVID-19 pandemic effect is still very active among various countries in Europe. In addition to the recovery and rebuilding, the European countries are investing in aggressive, track, test, surveillance, and respiratory systems to combat the pandemic. Among all European countries, UK, Russia, France, Spain, Italy and Germany are most affected due to the increasing number of coronavirus cases and deaths associated with it. A team from the Division of Infection and Immunity, University of Cardiff (United Kingdom) determined the effect of mouthwash on COVID-19; the team studied seven different commercial types of mouthwash including Corsodyl, Listerine Cool Mint, Listerine Advanced, and Dentyl Fresh Protect, which contained varying amounts of ethanol and CPC. The results demonstrated the potential of the mouthwashes to reduce COVID-19 infectivity in the oropharynx. Thus, the growing focus on research on the effect of mouthwash on the COVID-19 pandemic and rising oral care hygiene is likely to impact the market positively.

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe mouthwash market. Most marketed mouth rinses contain alcohol, specifically ethanol, which can cause an initial burning sensation, unpleasant taste, and bouts of dryness in the mouth. If an individual suffers from burning mouth syndrome or other oral irritations, the user may want to select an alcohol-free mouthwash to keep from aggravating the condition, which can occur using an alcohol-containing mouthwash. Further, people experiencing xerostomia (dry mouth), low saliva flow due to specific medicinal side effects, radiation therapies, or systemic diseases, such as Sjogren's syndrome or diabetes can use alcohol-free mouthwashes. Also, the alcohol-free mouthwash is particularly beneficial for people who have a history of alcohol abuse. Besides, studies conducted by BioMed Research International prove that alcohol-free mouthwashes have a better effect on the gloss, color, hardness, and wear of tooth composite restorations compared to mouthwashes that contain alcohol. Further, Colgate launched an alcohol-free mouthwash under its Chlorohex medicated mouthwash brand Adopting alcohol-free mouthwash is likely to be a prevalent trend in the market over the coming years.
