Competitive Landscape
Procter & Gamble Leverages Dentist-Backed Innovation to Sustain Its Lead
Oral care in the UK is highly concentrated, with the top three companies Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and GlaxoSmithKline collectively holding more than 60% of overall retail value sales in 2025. Procter & Gamble led with a 28% share, followed by Colgate-Palmolive on 20% and GlaxoSmithKline on 14%.
Pärla and Colgate Shift Routines with Sustainability and Beauty-Led Design
Sustainability has moved from bold claims to practical solutions in oral care, with brands focusing on making everyday choices easier for consumers. Pärla, which initially gained attention with plastic-free toothpaste tablets, expanded its range in 2025 by introducing recyclable aluminium toothpaste tubes to attract mainstream shoppers who still want plastic-free formats without sacrificing familiarity or convenience.
