The Global Market for Condoms is Forecast to Reach 55.1 Billion Units, Worth US$9.1 Billion by 2024
Growing STD/STI Concerns, Increased
Consumer Awareness & Product Innovations Drive the Global Condoms Market,
According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Condoms market. The
global market for Condoms is forecast to reach 55.1 billion units, worth US$9.1
billion by 2024. Key factors driving
growth include growing popularity of female condoms; increasing concerns over
the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies; increased
consumer awareness; and new product innovations.
The
global market for condoms is witnessing steady growth, driven by growing
concerns related to sexually transmitted diseases, including STDs/STIs such as
HIV, and rising emphasis on preventing unwanted pregnancies. Government initiatives
towards educating people about safe sex, and increased consumer awareness are
the other growth drivers. Traditionally, condoms have been used primarily for
preventing pregnancy and various sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However,
of late, players are emphasizing on improving sexual pleasure. Towards this
end, manufacturers are innovating new, innovative ideas, such as super-thin, hydrogel,
and custom-fit condoms.
Other
growth drivers include increasing demand for female condoms. Female condoms are
being viewed as a way of providing females with more control over their own
sexual safety. Female condoms are highly effective, almost 95%, in reducing the
transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and preventing an unintended
pregnancy. Female
condoms are being promoted by institutions and commercial forums including
UNAIDS in several developing countries. Increasing focus on Generation Y by
condom manufacturers, as evident by the marketing initiatives being undertaken,
constitutes another growth propeller.
As
stated by the new market research report on Condoms,
developing countries, such as Asia-Pacific and Latin
America, present attractive future growth opportunities for condoms, where
market penetration rates are far lesser compared to the developed regions.
Given the relatively strong economic activity, higher
proportion of younger demographics and limited condom users in these countries,
ample opportunities exist. Asia-Pacific region continues to dominate the global
condoms market. Condoms’ use in countries like India and China is growing
continuously, on account of increasing population, strong economy, and
heightened public awareness. In addition, the
growing incidence of HIV and other STIs in these countries also acts as a major
growth driving factor. Increased uptake of condoms in African countries is
largely due to growing disease prevention programs organized by
non-governmental associations.
The
US condoms market is being driven by heightened
awareness among general public regarding sexual health and well-being;
government initiatives towards educating people about sex; widespread
penetration of sexual wellness products; and growing popularity of novel
condoms, such as LELO’s Hex. Europe is witnessing healthy demand for
contraceptives, owing to increased acceptance of condoms both among men and
women.
