The Global Condom Market size is expected to reach $17.1 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period. Condoms are considered as the most effective methods of contraception. By using condoms, the risks of various sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be reduced to a great extent. Thus, the two major catalysts for the demand & growth of condoms are contraception and the prevention of STDs. In addition to it, the market is mainly driven by male-based products, but female-based products have started gaining traction in recent years. This is because females are becoming more aware of the side effects of contraceptive pills which are used to avoid pregnancy but can deteriorate their health.
Moreover, the adoption of the product is expected to be fueled by the rise in awareness about the danger of HIV infections which could be spread through sex workers. For example, according to the UNAIDS Global HIV & AIDS statistics 2020, sex workers are 30 times more vulnerable to HIV infection. Hence, the growth & adoption of these products is likely to increase due to the growing awareness about contraceptives.

It has explained essential measures that are required to be taken to continue the supplies of these products during the pandemic scenario in order to ensure unwanted pregnancies, and addressing concerns regarding unprotected sex during the lockdown.
