A condom is a barrier device used during sexual intercourse to lower the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. Typically made from materials such as latex, polyurethane, or polyisoprene, condoms come in various sizes, textures, and materials to match individual preferences and needs.
The main types of condoms are natural and synthetic. Natural condoms are made from biodegradable, non-synthetic materials such as latex from rubber trees, offering an eco-friendly and chemical-free alternative to synthetic condoms. They are available as both male and female condoms and are distributed through various channels, including retail stores, online platforms, and other outlets.

The condom market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.99 $ billion in 2024 to $13.36 $ billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to changing attitudes towards sexual health, improved accessibility to condoms, expanding retail distribution networks, growing youth population and urbanization, and rising disposable income levels.
The condom market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.36 $ billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing awareness of safe sex practices, government initiatives promoting family planning, growing emphasis on preventing STIs and HIV, rising population and demographics favoring growth, and growth in e-commerce and online sales channels. Major trends in the forecast period include innovations in condom materials and designs, demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable condoms, branding and advertising campaigns by leading companies, demand for customized and flavored condoms, and technological advancements in manufacturing.
The rising prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is projected to drive growth in the condom market. STDs, infections primarily transmitted through sexual contact, can affect various parts of the body and may be asymptomatic or symptomatic. The increase in STD rates is influenced by factors such as budget cuts and reduced public health funding, inadequate screening and testing, insufficient sexual health education, and changes in behavior. Condoms play a critical role in mitigating the spread of STDs by providing a barrier that prevents infection transmission during sexual activity. For instance, a June 2024 report by the UK Health Security Agency revealed that England recorded 401,800 new STI diagnoses in the previous year, a 4.7% increase from 383,789 cases in 2022. Notably, gonorrhea diagnoses surged by 7.5%, from 79,268 in 2022 to 85,223 in 2023. This increase in STD prevalence is expected to boost the demand for condoms.
Key players in the condom market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as natural rubber latex condoms, to maintain their market position. Natural rubber latex condoms, made from latex, provide a barrier during sexual activity to prevent pregnancy and reduce STD transmission. For example, in February 2024, Nixit, a Canada-based company specializing in period care products, launched a new line of external condoms. These condoms, crafted from natural rubber latex, are ultra-thin, vegan, and designed for vaginal compatibility. They are lubricated with light silicone oil and free from spermicides, parabens, glycerin, dyes, added fragrances, and UTI-inducing chemical irritants, thus promoting optimal vaginal health. They are also compatible with Nixit's water-based personal lubricant and can be used with its suction-free, disc-style menstrual cup for a cleaner period experience.
In May 2023, Sirona Hygiene, an India-based company providing feminine hygiene products and services, acquired Bleu for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Sirona's market presence, expands its product offerings, and creates synergies to drive substantial growth in the sexual wellness sector. Bleu is a manufacturer of condoms and sexual wellness products based in India.
