Global Condom Market is foreseen to develop with a CAGR of 9.2% over the forecast period of 2020 to 2025.

The condom market dates to 1857 that marks the creation of rubber condoms that only cover part of the penis. Since then, the industry has seen tremendous innovations in terms of the type of material used, design, size, and use. The condom industry continued to grow until 1975. However, with the advent of other contraceptive methods such as the pill and IUDs during this period, condom sales began to decline. The condom regained its popularity a decade later, in the 1980s, due to the AIDS pandemic. Today, the industry is thriving around the world and billions of condoms are produced each year. Public and private organizations have played a key role in educating consumers. Initially dominated by latex, the industry now has many innovative products based on polyisoprene, polyurethane, lambskin, and nitrile. The increasing penetration of the Internet has made it easier to buy condoms. In such a scenario, ongoing innovations increased campaigns by government organizations and growing awareness of sexual well-being will boost the industry in the years to come.

Drivers

The increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases will be an important factor in boosting the growth of the global condoms market. The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, genital herpes and HIV / AIDS is increasing. While syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis are curable, STDs caused by HPV, HIV, hepatitis B and genital herpes remain incurable. Condoms have shown a high success rate in preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. The demand for female condoms is increasing, especially in developed countries like the United States, where the government distributes them to beauty salons, convenience stores and clinics to control rising rates of HIV. In developing countries, such as India, where stigma limits female condom use, comprehensive female condom programs and effective family planning and HIV programs are supposed to boost condom adoption rates. Female condoms have emerged as an effective alternative to birth control pills, especially for prostitutes who may face condom rejection and women who prefer not to use hormonal methods to avoid pregnancy. The growing popularity of female condoms, which is one of the critical trends in the condom market, has encouraged market vendors such as Veru and Cupid to invest heavily in improving the design and performance of female condoms. Using female condoms will help increase the number of safer sex and minimize the number of STIs.

Restraints

However, side effects like latex allergies and social stigma in developing countries will restrain the growth of the industry to some extent.
