Increasing cases of tooth decay and its effect on the expansion of fluorosilicic acid market in the U.S. and Europe

Tooth decay remains the most prevalent chronic disorder among children in the U.S. In fact, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, around 91% of the Americans aged between 20–64 were reported to have dental caries in permanent teeth in 2011–2012. These figures can be reduced significantly by means of undertaking water fluoridation processes which primarily involves the use of fluorosilicic acid to increase fluoride content in water. In fact, decades of research and studies throughout the world have validated that optimally fluoridated drinking water is safe and effective in reducing tooth decay.

Moreover, reports cite that tooth decays can be reduced in children by 40-70%, and in adults by 40-60% following water fluoridation. Indeed, it is a cost-effective and most efficient method of reaching large affected population and CDC claims that, with each dollar spent on water fluoridation, around $38 is saved in reduced costs for dental care. Thus, with favorable cost saving and high clinical offering, the U.S. fluorosilicic acid industry size may register growth at about 5.5% over 2019-2025.

The fluorosilicic acid market has also registered growth in Europe as absorption of fluoride in the region’s groundwater is usually low which has in turn led some countries to add the chemical to public drinking water for health assistance. Reportedly, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set up consumption levels pertaining to natural mineral water and other sources of fluoride. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCS) has also set certain levels for fluoride in dental products, efforts that may accelerate fluorosilicic acid industry growth over the forecast period.

Besides consumption by municipal bodies for public benefit, fluorosilicic acid is also widely used in dental care products. Wide ranging application of the chemical is anticipated to lead the fluorosilicic acid market to surpass USD 1 billion mark by 2025, claim reports.
