Market Drivers

Increasing Consumer Awareness Regarding Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) to Boost Market Growth

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Surging Cases of Allergies to Restrain Market Growth

This arises when the body's immune system responds to proteins found in natural rubber latex, a material commonly used in condoms. Furthermore, itching, redness, burning sensation, runny nose, swelling in the genital area, and rashes are the common symptoms of allergy caused by condoms, which restricts the global latex condom market growth.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Surging Technological Advancements to Favor Market Expansion

Manufacturers are increasingly investing in nanotechnology-based coatings to improve condom durability and prevent the spread of STIs by disrupting viral replication. Furthermore, the advances in raw material engineering have enabled the production of thinner female and male condoms without compromising strength and durability of the product. Improvements in self-lubricating coatings, along with the development of alternative material types such as polyisoprene and hydrogel, are further improving user comfort while ensuring effective STI protection, further contributing to market growth.
