Market Overview

The advent of innovative designs, the popularity of female condom and the increased effect of the internet on consumers purchasing behavior are the latest trends that are expected to shape the market positively over the next few years. More people are turning to the organized market owing to the convenience of buying through e-commerce stores that led to the growth of online stores. The global condom market is expected to reach USD 12 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Choice of the apt distribution channel and effective advertising strategies, vendors are focusing to lure a supreme level of consumers in the condom market. Sexually transmitted infection (STI) continues to spread like wildfire with 1 million cases worldwide every day and the presence of untreated STI increases the odds of HIV acquisition leading to AIDS transmission by up to 10 times.

Resistance to AIDS drugs has been observed over the years thus, condoms will continue to play its essential role in preventing STI and HIV transmissions and average condom usage of 4.9 condoms per person each year i.e. fairly low usage rate, signifying ample room for demand growth of this market. In addition, the proliferation of the internet is making online stores the fastest-growing distribution channel in the global condom market. For instance, online retail platforms like Amazon, eBay, Topco Sales, Lovehoney, and Ann Summers propose a comparative analysis of various categories and brands of condoms to attract a larger consumer base. The paucity of funds due to the cultural taboo factor and ambiguous legal issues, investors stall to invade into the industry which also makes it tough to sustain and bloom the business in such a compact market. In addition, lack of sex-positive education and awareness is one of the biggest challenges condom companies face in the market.
