The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Philips founded Sonicare in 1992 in the Netherlands. The brand makes electric toothbrushes with ultrasonic technology. Sonicare's sonic vibration system set it apart from rivals immediately. The brush head vibrates thousands of times per minute, not rotating like competitors' models. This approach dominated the electric toothbrush market for decades. Today Sonicare sells across Europe, North America, and Asia. It ranks first among 21,133 tracked brands in Beauty & Personal Care. Dentists recommend Sonicare more than any other sonic toothbrush brand. The product line spans basic models to premium connected toothbrushes with app integration. Philips divested Sonicare to focus on healthcare, then repurchased the brand later. It remains the category leader globally.
