Since 1976, Colgate has worked in close partnership with the Indian Dental Association (IDA) to spread
the message of oral hygiene to children across the country under its 'Bright Smiles, Bright Futures'
Schools Dental Education Program. This program has successfully reached more than 125 million
school children covering around 2,98,522 schools across the country since its launch. The program
focuses on children so that the message of good oral hygiene is carried home to families and the
community at large. In 2004, as an additional effort to create awareness for good oral hygiene 'Oral
Health Month' (OHM), was introduced. Since its launch, OHM is conducted each year during October-
November, where free dental check-ups are conducted by Colgate in partnership with Indian Dental
Association across the country. Conducted in designated towns and cities to establish and promote
the importance of good oral hygiene, OHM is Colgate's mass consumer contact program.

Market is growing with a CAGR of 11.4% from last five years and is projected to get more than double
by the year 2021 due to rising oral care, brand awareness, increasing disposable income, growing
demand in middle class people and affordable price of oral care products in the form of mass oral care
products. Colgate (~55%) and HUL together account for over two-thirds of the organized toothpaste
market. In toothpowder market, Colgate, HUL and Dabur are the major players
Currently, toothpaste enjoys a country wide penetration level of 55 %, with only 15 % of them brush
twice a day. The per capita consumption in India stands at 127gms/year; one of the lowest in the
world.
Also, India’s per capita consumption is less than half of other emerging markets and almost 1/4th the
amount of consumption in U.S. Given the low per capita consumption and penetration rates,
toothpaste demand is mainly being driven by the overall market growth of 8-10 %. The penetration
levels of dentifrice in the country have been on an upward trend over the last few years driven by
strong improvements in toothpaste penetration.
The wealthy class requires the premium and value added oral care products in order to maintain oral
hygiene and they use multipurpose oral care products such as mouthwash, dental floss and other
specialized oral care products to keep fresh breath and mouth. Oral care has become a thrilling
legroom for new product developments and producers are trying to convince consumers through
aggressive campaign and advertising that they should adopt oral care products to improve oral
hygiene and to be protected from dental related issues. A multipurpose oral care product is an
emerging trend in the industry. However, the penetration of modern oral care products is low, but
this opens the door for new and enormous opportunities in Indian oral care industry. Another key
industry trend is the move towards natural products comprising of herbs, vitamins and minerals.
