Sexual wellness pertains to the overall condition of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being concerning sexuality. It encompasses various elements such as sexual health, satisfaction, and relationships, focusing on both the prevention of illness and the promotion of positive, respectful, and fulfilling experiences in sexual interactions and relationships.
The primary categories of products in sexual wellness include antifungal agents, sex toys or vibrators, condoms and female contraceptives, personal lubricants, erotic lingerie, pregnancy testing products, and others. Antifungal agents are medications or substances utilized to treat fungal infections in humans, animals, or plants. These products are packaged in blister packs, bottles and dispensers, clamshell packaging, tubes, cardboard boxes, jars, sachets, and pump bottles tailored for both men and women. They are available through various channels such as modern trade, convenience stores, department stores, specialty stores, mono-brand outlets, online retailers, and drug stores.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The sexual wellness market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $47.27 billion in 2024 to $51.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to changing societal attitudes towards sex and sexual health, growing emphasis on overall health and well-being, improved sexual education, and acceptance of sexual wellness products and practices.
The sexual wellness market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $70.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of STDs, greater acceptance and open discussions about sexuality, expanding product variety, increased online shopping and discreet purchasing options, and improved marketing strategies. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of IoT technology, smart sex toys, the use of VR technology to create immersive sexual experiences, and AI-powered sex toys.
The forecast of 8.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. consumers by driving up the cost of FDA-approved hormonal contraceptives and Sexually Transmitted Infection(STI) self-test kits sourced from the Netherlands and India, exacerbating out-of-pocket costs and limiting preventive care access. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The sexual wellness market is experiencing growth due to the rising prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases, transmitted through sexual contact and caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, are on the rise primarily due to high-risk behaviors and insufficient awareness about prevention methods. This trend underscores the importance of sexual wellness, which encourages proactive approaches to sexual health. By empowering individuals to make informed decisions and adopt safer behaviors, sexual wellness initiatives aim to minimize the risk of STDs while promoting overall well-being.
Major companies in the sexual wellness sector are focusing on developing innovative products to meet consumer demand. For example, desire-boost gummies have emerged as popular dietary supplements designed to enhance libido and sexual desire. These gummies contain a blend of ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and amino acids known for their support of sexual health and vitality. Companies such as Setu Nutrition Private Limited have launched products such as Desire Boost gummies, formulated with clinically-backed, plant-derived ingredients such as Ashwagandha, Gokshura, Korean Ginseng, Shatavari, L-Arginine, and L-Citrulline. These gummies are caffeine-free, GMO-free, and designed for daily use without side effects, catering to the growing demand for natural solutions promoting sexual health.
In May 2023, Sirona Hygiene, known for its sanitary and menstrual hygiene products, acquired Bleu, an India-based company specializing in sexual wellness products, including vegan condoms made from natural latex.
