Driving Factor:
Increasing Consciousness about Birth Control to Effectively Uplift Market
The growing knowledge about the use of condoms as a contraceptive can have an excellent impact on the market growth during the forecast period. As per the Contraceptive Use by Method 2019 of the United Nations report, the prevalence of male condoms has escalated from 4.5% in 1994 to 10.0% in 2019 globally. As per the same report, the number of women (those with reproductive age of 15 to 49 years) relying on male condoms as a means of contraception has substantially increased from 64 million in 1994 to 189 million in 2019.
Furthermore, the increasing utilization of other control methods such as oral pills can simultaneously improve the prospects of the market. However, oral pills have adverse effects and cause hormonal imbalance in women, resulting in serious health problems. Therefore, the weakened inclination towards contraceptive pills among women can subsequently fuel the demand. Besides, the rising sex education in developing nations can have a positive impact on the market in the forthcoming years.
Market Segments:
The market is segmented into male and female product types. The male segment is expected to dominate the market based on type owing to the higher usage rate, greater availability, and relatively lower cost compared to female product types. The market is classified into latex and non-latex. The latex segment is expected to hold a major market share due to its greater stretchability and strength compared to non-latex materials such as polyurethane. The market is divided into mass merchandisers, drug stores/pharmacies, online retail stores, and others. The drug stores/pharmacies segment is expected to hold the largest condom market share owing to the high availability of trusted brands.
