The U.S. Market Opportunity

A large, underserved market with clear demographic tailwinds

Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent, and most economically burdensome, chronic conditions in the United States. Prevalence rises sharply with age, and America's aging population is expanding the addressable market year over year.

Twelve diverse Americans showing signs of dental discomfort — periodontal disease affects every age, ethnicity, and background across the U.S.

Revenue Potential

A multi-year U.S. commercial opportunity

We model PerioRex's U.S. commercial trajectory as a 5-year adoption curve — not a static market-share snapshot. The framework below moves from total addressable population, to realistic serviceable market, to revenue ramp under three commercial scenarios.

Market Funnel · TAM → SAM → SOM
TAM · Total Addressable
90M
Americans affected by periodontitis across all age brackets, per CDC / NIDCR prevalence data.
SAM · Serviceable Addressable
28M
Health-conscious insured adults 45+ with periodontal risk awareness and $50K+ household income — the realistically reachable subset via retail, DTC, and dental channels.
SOM · 5-Year Obtainable
1.2M
Base-case 5-year customer target — ~4% of SAM captured through phased channel expansion and category-appropriate marketing investment.
5-Year Revenue Ramp · Three Scenarios
Scenario
Year 1
Year 3
Year 5
Conservative ARPU $18/mo · 55% retention · slow channel ramp
$11M
$68M
$180M
Base Case ARPU $25/mo · 65% retention · balanced DTC + retail rollout
$27M
$175M
$430M
Aggressive ARPU $30/mo · 72% retention · full omnichannel + dental endorsement
$54M
$340M
$860M

Base case reflects industry-standard adoption curves for daily-use functional supplements with clinical evidence and multi-channel distribution. At steady state (Year 7+), the base case implies a ~$500M–1B annual U.S. revenue opportunity — with material upside if partner distribution accelerates channel penetration.

Illustrative model. SAM defined as insured U.S. adults 45+ with household income ≥$50K and elevated periodontal risk, per NHANES and Census demographic data. Ramp scenarios assume phased channel expansion (DTC → mass retail → dental/specialty), category-standard retention curves, and no material regulatory delays. Actual outcomes will depend on partner capabilities, marketing investment, and competitive response. Comparable revenues are illustrative anchors, not projections.

Why PerioRex

A defensible science platform in a category short on innovation

PerioRex™ is being developed to address one of healthcare's largest unmet needs. Built on patent-protected technology and rigorous scientific research, the platform advances periodontal health innovation in a category where — despite tens of millions of Americans affected — very few daily-use offerings have completed peer-reviewed clinical research.

For leading U.S. healthcare, oral care, and consumer health companies, PerioRex represents an attractive platform for strategic partnership and joint venture.

Patent-Protected IP

US Patent No. US 10,022,412 B2 plus additional patents in Korea and Japan covering the government-approved ingredient composition for periodontal use.

Human Clinical Validation

Double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT (n=94) conducted at Ajou University and Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, published in Nutrients (SCIE) in 2024.

Korea MFDS Functional Ingredient Recognition — March 2025

Certificate No. 2025-13 · Issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Republic of Korea, March 25, 2025. The PMEC complex is officially recognized as a functional ingredient with the approved health claim: "May help alleviate gum condition." Recognition followed full clinical dossier review including two independent human clinical trials conducted at major Korean university hospitals. This is a rigorous Korean government functional-ingredients recognition — the highest level of functional food ingredient recognition in Korea.
