Market Dynamics

High Awareness Regarding Sex Education Will Drive the Personal Lubricants Market Growth

Sexual education awareness programs are essential for promoting healthy sexual behaviors, preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), minimizing unwanted pregnancies, and fostering informed decision-making. Companies run initiatives to educate the public, which contributes to market growth.

For instance, on Apr 25, 2023, in honor of Sexually Transmitted Infection Awareness Month, Jem’s ""F#cking Old"" campaign uses nostalgia to promote safe sex. As STI rates ""show no sign of slowing down,"" one population has largely gone unnoticed: grandparents. ""Canadians over 60 have seen a 240% overall increase in STI rates,"" according to Jems, a brand dedicated to destroying the toxic condom market, but no one is talking about it.

Side Effects Associated With Certain Personal Lubricants Will Hamper the Market Growth

Flavored lubricants often contain additional ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners or flavorings, which could potentially cause oral allergies or sensitivities in some individuals. If users have known allergies or sensitivities, it's important to check the ingredients and choose a product that suits user needs. The adverse effects caused by some personal lubricants will limit market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

During periods of lockdown and social distancing measures, people may have spent more time at home with their partners or engaged in solo activities. This could have led to an increased demand for personal lubricants as individuals sought to enhance their sexual experiences. The pandemic may have disrupted marketing strategies and events within the personal lubricants industry.

Conferences, trade shows, and other promotional events were either canceled, postponed, or moved to virtual platforms. This could have impacted the industry's ability to showcase new products and engage with customers. The personal lubricants industry may vary depending on factors such as regional regulations, consumer behavior and the duration and severity of the pandemic in different regions.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

However, the impact of the import and export of raw materials, test products and devices is anticipated to have little influence over the global personal lubricants market in the forecast period.

Artificial Intelligence Impact Analysis

Artificial intelligence is anticipated to impact the personal lubricants market positively. The AI algorithms can analyze historical sales data, market trends and other relevant factors to predict future demand for personal lubricants accurately. This helps manufacturers optimize their production levels, reduce stockouts and minimize excess inventory.
