Sexual Wellness Market Trends:
Market Drivers
For the right reasons, concerns about sexual and reproductive health are at the forefront of public The global sexual wellness market is emerging due to the rising prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, and the increase in the number of sexual wellness initiatives by government & private organizations to create awareness about sexual health. Additionally, the growing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) population will provide growth opportunities for the market in the future, as this would evidently boost product consumption across the globe exponentially. However, the lack of sex-positive education and awareness in developing countries might hamper the market's growth in the forecast period. Furthermore, there is yet a lack of product penetration in underdeveloped nations as basic economic factors are at subpar levels, which results in a lack of affordability/demand for luxury products within the market category.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are generally transmitted from one person to another during sexual intercourse. The bacteria, viruses, or parasites that cause sexually transmitted infections are passed from person to person by blood, semen, vaginal discharge, and other bodily fluids. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 million Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which remain asymptomatic. Each year there are an estimated 374 million new infections with 1 of 4 curable STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. The rising prevalence of STDs such as genital herpes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), genital warts, hepatitis B, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and others demand sexual wellness products such as a condom to prevent STDs, including HIV. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) figures, in 2022, more than 500 million people aged between 15 to 49 years old are estimated to have a genital infection with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Similarly, as per the WHO, in 2021, approximately 38.4 million people were living with HIV across the globe.
Moreover, a condom is a sheath-shaped barrier fabricated to be used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of a sexually transmitted infection. According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (Switzerland), consistent and correct use of condoms provides effective protection against unplanned pregnancies and STDs. Thus, condoms & contraceptives, and other sexual wellness products are highly used to prevent STDs. Hence, the rise in STDs such as HIV/AIDS among others drives the market growth.
Market Restraints
Sex education plays a critical role in developing an individual’s personality and helps to make better decisions by adopting a rational frame of mind instead of relying on impulse. Advanced sex education programs would bring about various positive changes and directly result in a decrease in the number of sexual assault cases. Sex education does not cover just sex; it is a complete overview of a person’s mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being. Lack of sex education and healthy discussion around sexual activities in developing countries such as the Central African Republic, Philippines, and others is adversely affecting the growth of the global sexual wellness market. Additionally, sexual products and their business is seen as taboo in many cultures, and hence personal reservations and prejudice against sexual wellness products can cause losses for the market.
In addition, raw materials such as rubber, plastic, latex, and nitrile are used in sexual wellness products that come in direct contact with the skin and may cause severe allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin. Some sex toys can cause severe burning, itching, and other complications as they may contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates and parabens. Moreover, lubricants also contain chemical components that can increase the risk of STDs. Thus, complications related to sexual wellness products and a lack of strict regulations on sexual wellness products in developing countries are also anticipated to restrain the growth of the market.
COVID-19 Analysis:
Projections indicate tremendous growth, expansion, and higher sales volume in the year of the pandemic (2020) in the sexual wellness market due to the unique coronavirus epidemic. Other businesses and industries in the market have been struggling to figure out how to adapt to the changing demand and supply dynamics since the outbreak. This market has been affected by a wide variety of factors. Ironically, as worldwide governments imposed the lockdown, the growth of the sexual wellness sector served as a major background factor contributing to a decline in demand and production capacity of other industries.
Condoms have seen a dramatic spike in popularity, whereas sex toys and similar items have seen a precipitous decline in popularity. Many people used to rely on sex toys to satisfy their sexual needs. As the virus spread and a lockdown was instituted, nations published suggestions urging safe sexual conduct internationally. Several large multinational firms are actively looking for acquisition targets in the sexual wellness industry as a result of the enormous damage caused by the pandemic. From 2022 to 2030, this area of the industry has excellent growth prospects.
