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.

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.
