The segment will progress at a compounded annual growth rate of 8 per cent.

Nearly 44 per cent of the growth is seen originating from the Asia Pacific region with China, India, and Japan being the key markets.

The growing trend of customization is expected to have a positive impact on the segment. Increasing awareness about sexually transmitted diseases and the availability of a wide range and brands of condoms will also aid business growth.

Mass customization and personalization have been slowly gaining importance in the global condom market, primarily driven by advances in technology, besides add-on features such as shape, size, and colour.

"The rapid evolution of condom product material and designs with increasing market competition made it necessary for vendors to focus on strategies such as quick delivery processes, mass customization, and personalization," a statement said.

Also, an increase in the emphasis on condom providers offering their products in discreet packaging trend is making consumers more comfortable with shopping for such products with more privacy.

"Hence, the increasing focus on the customization of condoms, as well as their packaging, according to consumer requirements is expected to support the market growth during the forecast period," the statement added.

It added that the high growth of e-commerce platforms too will drive growth for the product.
