Furthermore, our report provides a brief analysis of the historical and forecast market share and their segments along with the reasons for growth from 2018 to 2028. The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of sexual wellness products in the US, which is driven by an increase in the demand for sexual wellness products in the US.
The availability of male sexual wellness products, such as sex toys and condoms, is driving the growth of the global sexual wellness market. Men experiencing erectile dysfunction can benefit from options like penis rings, pumps, and constriction bands. The increase in ED cases in the US presents a growing opportunity for the market. Erection rings are a popular choice for achieving penile tightness and satisfactory intercourse, with online stores being a preferred purchase option. This leads to an increased customer base and contributes to the growth of the erection rings market.
The market is driven by various factors, including the childbearing population, societal attitudes towards sexuality, and the rise of sex-positive movements. Retail channels for these products include mass merchandisers, retail pharmacies, e-commerce, and door-to-door sales. The market is also influenced by homosexuality and the LGBTQ+ community. Awareness campaigns and advocacy efforts have played a significant role in increasing acceptance of sexual wellness products. The market for these products has seen demand, particularly among millennials. The market is expected to continue growing due to increasing awareness and acceptance of sexually transmitted infections and the importance of sexual health.
The increasing use of sexual wellness products for therapeutic purposes is driving the Market share. Women face issues like vaginal dryness, muscle variations, and hormonal imbalances affecting vaginal moisture levels. Surgeries and advanced technology are costly, leading to a demand for sex wellness goods as alternatives.
Moreover, doctors recommend sex toys like vibrators to relax vaginal muscles, while goods like IUDs have resolved conditions like endometriosis. Female sex toys also help increase arousal, relieve stress, and manage hormonal changes, making them popular for stress relief. This trend is expected to positively impact US sexual wellness market growth.
The increase in the popularity of female condoms is a key trend driving the market. More and more women are choosing condoms that cater to their needs, creating a significant demand for such goods. Female condoms offer a pre-intercourse option that is especially beneficial for sex workers facing condom refusal. They also serve as an excellent alternative to hormonal methods of pregnancy prevention, which may not suit everyone. In addition, for some couples, female condoms may be a safer and more pleasurable option.
Moreover, several factors will contribute to the growth of female condoms in the future, including the implementation of comprehensive female condom programs, effective family planning, and HIV prevention programs. Research has shown that the use of female condoms has increased protected sex levels globally and reduced the incidence of STIs. This trend is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for sex wellness goods in the years to come and drive US sexual wellness market growth.
An increase in side effects is a major challenge in the market. Though sexual wellness products are being accepted increasingly, consumers are concerned about the side effects of these products. The raw materials and ingredients such as rubber, plastic, latex, and nitrile used in these goods must be scrutinized as they come in direct contact with sensitive/intimate areas of the skin. This makes the skin more prone to reactions such as pain, irritation, numbness, and inflammation/swelling. Sex toys such as adult vibrators directly come in contact with the skin in intimate areas.
Moreover, some sex toys may cause severe burns, itching, and other health complications. Many of these products contain harmful toxins and chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, which are sometimes directly absorbed into the bloodstream. These chemicals are linked mainly to congenital disabilities, endocrine disorders, and sperm damage. Lubricants also contain chemical components that can increase the risk of STDs. Chemicals such as phthalates damage the epithelial cells lining the vagina and rectum. Therefore, questions regarding the safety of these goods are being raised by consumers. This has created an inhibition and a negative image of sex wellness goods in the US, which can significantly hamper the sales of these products and impede US sexual wellness market growth.
