The WHO has listed condoms as crucial for health systems. The use of condoms reduces the risk of diseases such as trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV. Innovation in male and female condoms such as the application of anti-ejaculation chemicals is growing customer interest. According to the Centre for Young Women's Health (CYWH), female condoms offer around 95% accuracy for contraception effectiveness and barrier to various sexually transmitted diseases.
Non-latex condoms are made from polyisoprene and are widely preferred by individuals suffering from latex allergies. They are odorless; have texture; and provide improved sensation; and are available in different shapes, sizes, and flavors.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to accelerate trends that were already shaping the market, such as rise of the global middle class and the use of e-commerce. Online distributors are recording increased interest, as home-bound consumers explore retail alternatives. For instance, in March 2020 due to the national lockdown, online sales for house brand condoms, manufactured by the Malaysian company Karex, shot up seven-fold during the first half of 2020. Some sexual wellness brands and retailers with inventory and shipment operations ready to scale up are reporting e-commerce sales twice as high as their pre-COVID-19 levels.

However, female condoms are being increasingly accepted for unplanned pregnancy and reducing the risk of STIs. The adoption of female condoms is rising in the developed countries such as Canada, Germany, the U.S., the UK, and France. In the U.S., only one company offers the FC2 Female Condom.
