Condoms are a sheath-shaped barrier tool used in sexual intercourse to decrease the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). In addition, there are both male and female condoms. Their use to a great extent reduces the possibility of chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis B and to a small extent, it also protects against syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and genital herpes.
The increasing awareness about the use of condoms, the measures to reduce the spread of HIV and other STIs, and the accessibility of various types of condoms to go with consumer needs are major factors that are driving the global condom market growth. Moreover, the free distribution of condoms through government organizations is likely to propel market growth. The rising usage of condoms by young couples, sex workers, and the LGBTQ society is extensively reducing the public health concerns like HIV/AIDS, STDs, and population outbursts.

In addition to that, the government in every country is undertaking initiatives to increase awareness and promote the usage of contraceptives in the young generation to control the outbreak of HIV and other STIs and also to avoid unplanned pregnancies. The free condom distribution by governments with the help of UNFPA and other organizations is projected to boost the usage of condoms in rural areas.

The region of Asia-Pacific is dominating the global condom market. China is one of the major markets in the condom industry. In the past years, the Chinese authorities have been likely to supply condoms either free of charge or at subsidized prices. Recently, the spreading out of the middle class is creating more opportunities for individuals to exercise personal freedom through purchasing superior condoms at high costs from retail stores. These factors are encouraging for popular condom brands like Okamoto, gaining brand recognition in the medium and high-price brackets. Other key factors propelling the regional market growth include the increasing demand in countries like India, Japan, and Australia due to the huge population, the rising prevalence of STDs and HIV, and the favorable government initiatives undertaken to control the population in the region.
The North American condom market is having the most of the revenue share in 2020 owing to the increase in the prevalence of HIV and the growing demand for female condoms in the United States. Moreover, the presence of key companies and the increased product launches in the region are set to influence regional market growth.
Furthermore, the Indian government in association with HLL Lifecare launched the Nirodh brand condoms intending, to offer dual protection from unwanted pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted infections (STI). This, in turn, is likely to fuel the growth of the condom market across the Asian region.
Also, Europe holds the second-largest market share, followed by North America. This is due to the rising demand by lesbians, sex workers, etc. The U.K., France, Germany, and Italy are the European countries with the highest market shares. The government initiatives being undertaken are promoting the use of contraceptives amongst the youth population to prevent the transmission of HIV in this region.
