COVID-19 IMPACT:
Increased Supply of Essential Health Products to Elevate Market
amid COVID-19
The lockdown imposed by governments restricted the supply of
various products. However, the accessibility and supply of essential wellness
products have improved the scope of the market during the pandemic. The United
Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) provided a summary in their brief published in
April 2020 ‘Condoms and lubricants in the time of COVID-19’.
It has provided necessary actions that needed to be taken to
sustain supplies of condoms during COVID-19 to ensure unintended pregnancies
and other concerns of unprotected sex do not surface during the lockdown.
Moreover, the increasing product availability and enhanced supply chain with no
lockdown will consequently boost the growth of the market in the time of the
pandemic.

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.
Regional Insights:
Ever-increasing Population to Spur Demand in Asia Pacific
The market in Asia Pacific is lucrative and is expected to experience
a rapid growth rate during the forecast period owing to the ever-increasing
population and increasing education level in developing nations. The growing
awareness regarding birth control methods can have an excellent impact on the
market in Asia Pacific. The implementation of childbearing policies to control
the population will effectually aid the growth of the market in the region. The
increasing number of unwanted pregnancies will further spur demand for condoms,
thus promoting the growth of the market.
As per the report, Contraceptive Use by Method 2019 of the United
Nations, in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, these are one of the most prevalent
contraceptive methods accounting for 17% share in 2019. Europe and North
America are expected to experience a steady growth rate due to contraceptive
products' higher usage rate. As per the report, Contraceptive Use by Method
2019 of the United Nations, condoms in Europe and Northern America account for
14.6% share among all contraceptive methods in 2019.
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.
Competitive Landscape:
Rising Emphasis on Eco-friendly Products by Prominent Companies to
Spur Opportunities
To attract customers, companies are focused on producing original
product designs, such as those with unique tastes and lubricants. Furthermore,
they are concentrating on making their goods environmentally friendly and safer
to use for customers, such as through the use of environmental friendly
components and the responsible use of utilities throughout the production
process.
For example, Ritex, a German company, has employed
EKOenergy-certified power in their sustainable product line "PRO
NATURE." As a result, the launch of new goods, the adoption of
environmentally friendly production techniques, and mergers and acquisitions
strategies are expected to aid manufacturers in their company growth.
Key Industry Development:
October 2020: Durex, a condom brand based
in Britain, introduced a new product range, ‘‘Durex invisible condoms’’. This
was launched in India as India’s thinnest condom product.
