[Research Report] The sports mouthguard market was valued US$ 2,419.89 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The sports mouthguard market is growing significantly numerous sports-related oral injuries and high treatment expenses worldwide. The growth in technological advancements, which includes improving product durability, protection level, and flexibility, is another prime factor that is leading the growth of the sports mouthguard market at a global level. The rising disposable income, which enables families to invest in sports mouthguards, is also a major factor that positively impacts mouthguard sports growth.

Additionally, the North American sports mouthguard market has flourished abundantly due to the availability of advanced healthcare infrastructure and growing awareness about sports injuries from sports and dental associations in the US and Canada. Moreover, leading players in the sports mouthguard market have expanded their presence and manufacturing base in the United States athletic mouthguard market. Also, local players increasing production capacity for sports mouthpieces led to the growth sports mouthguard market.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

The global market is witnessing numerous sports-related oral injuries such as bleeding, swelling, bruising, tooth intrusion, and redness of dental tissues, coupled with high treatment expenses are the primary factors boosting the market growth during the forecast years. According to the American Dental Assistants' Association, in 2022, about fifteen million Americans yearly suffer from a sports-related dental injury. About 10% of players suffered from a sport-related dental or facial injury. According to Procter & Gamble, in 2021, more than five million teeth are avulsed yearly, numerous of them during athletic performance, resulting in an annual cost of about $500 million for tooth replacement procedures. Similarly, according to the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA), in 2022, sports-related dental injuries accounted for 13–39 % of all dental injuries, with 2–18% of maxillofacial injuries. Oral sports injuries can cause severe pain, emotional and psychological effects, and financial burdens on the sportsperson. According to a study published in the Dentistry Journal in 2022, the average cost of treating dental and maxillofacial injuries in contact sports was more than double that of all other body injuries.

Furthermore, according to the Australian Dental Association, specific cases of dental trauma may result in a lifetime of therapy and high treatment cost. A sports mouthguard helps prevent oral injuries. Therefore, the increasing frequency of dental injuries during sports fuels the growth of the sports mouthguard market.

In contrast, a lack of consumer awareness regarding the importance of sports mouthguards in some developing countries is anticipated to hamper the demand for sports mouthguards. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, awareness and knowledge about sports-related orofacial injuries are poor among children in New Delhi. It is required for coaches and kids to receive education on how to avoid orofacial trauma. During practice and competing events, mouthguards are mandatory. The medium for carrying avulsed teeth was unknown. For instance, a study conducted in 2017 by Tiwari et al. in Central India showed that 41% of sportspersons used mouthguards. However, as per a study in the SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, only 28.8% of sportspersons used mouthguards, which shows the lack of awareness about mouthguards among sportspersons.

Segmental Analysis:

The sports mouthguard market, by product, is segmented into stock mouthguards, boil and bite mouthguards, custom-made mouthguards, and smart mouthguards. The stock mouthguard segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. However, the custom-made mouthguard segment is anticipated to register the maximum CAGR in the market during the forecast period. This can be due to the fact that they provide superior protection against numerous orofacial injuries compared to a standard mouthguard and their comparatively low cost to the customer. Therefore, it dominates the global sports mouthguard market. The segment's growth is attributed to the presence of many manufacturers, frequent use in various research processes, the development and frequent product launches, and increasing availability. The factors mentioned above are expected to continue to show growth for the boil and bite mouthguard market. This can be because they provide superior protection against numerous orofacial injuries compared to a standard mouthguard and their comparatively low cost to the customer. Boil and bite mouth protectors are commercially available for purchase at many sporting goods stores, and they may provide a more comfortable fit than standard mouthguards.

The sports mouthguard market is segmented online and offline based on distribution channels. In 2022, the offline segment will likely hold the largest market share. However, the online segment is expected to grow fastest during the coming years. Many businesses sell their products both online and through the online distribution channel. Shock Doctor, OPRO, and Akervall Technologies are well-known industry names selling their mouthguard brand products through online and offline distribution channels. Retailers frequently rely on channel sales to expand their operations. Consider that 70% of customers are interested in in-person and online shopping. It makes perfect sense for a new brick-and-mortar business to display its products in an online shop to diversify its revenue sources and attract a larger audience, especially given how many stores have been forced to close due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Regional Analysis:

Based on geography, the sports mouthguard market is segmented into five key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2022, the North American region held the largest share of the global sports mouthguard market, and the Asia Pacific region is projected to indicate the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The US is the largest market for global sports mouthguards, followed by Canada and Mexico. 2022 North America dominated the market, accounting for the high share of sales revenue. The expansion of the region's market is expected to be aided by relatively high disposable income, widespread product availability, and the high presence of sports and dental associations that require mouthguards. Canada is estimated to grow at a steady rate amid the forecast period. In Canada, to reduce the risk of facial, head, and neck damage, the Canadian Dental Association strongly advises people in contact sports to wear adequate face and head protection. Sporting organizations are responsible for reducing the risk of injury in sports, particularly by developing sport-specific safety standards. Injury prevention is critical because people who suffer an oral or maxillofacial injury must deal with immediate and long-term treatment and rehabilitation issues and the possibility of significant long-term effects on their health and quality of life. Thus, the above factors will likely grow the mouth guards for the sports market amid the forecast period.
