India Condom Market Research Report: Forecast (2026-2032)

Market Insights & Analysis: India Condom Market (2026-32):

The India Condom Market size was valued at around USD 293 Million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD USD 512 Million by 2032. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 8.03% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-32. The India Condom Market is significantly growing due to several growth factors, including the increasing burden of venereal diseases (VD) in India, the rapidly rising sexual health awareness & safety, the active government support through subsidies, investments, & public awareness programs, the adoption of eco-friendly & biodegradable materials used to manufacture condoms, etc. One of the most prominent growth factors is the increasing sexual health education in India, which has increased awareness regarding a healthy sex life, and to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and to prevent undesirable pregnancies in India.  Nowadays, sex education is being introduced in schools and colleges, along with social media influence, to enhance the knowledge about protected sex practices using condoms effectively.

Additionally, the Indian government is actively promoting condom usage in the country through significant investments under various policies & campaigns, such as Nirodh, National AIDS Control Program (NACP), etc. Also, the government introduced some free condom distribution programs, under which millions of condoms are distributed freely every year in India, especially in the underserved and rural areas, to encourage a healthy sex life among Indian individuals.

Moreover, the adoption of vegan and biodegradable condoms is significantly impacting the market growth positively, as people are getting more concerned about environmental health and safety, thus preferring vegan alternatives, including natural and highly sustainable condoms over traditional condoms. Several companies, like Salad and Bleu, have started actively manufacturing vegan condoms in India and contributing to the market growth. However, the disruptions in the supply chains due to poor road connectivity, logistical issues, and a dispersed distribution network are creating hindrances to the Indian Condom Industry's growth & expansion.

India Condom Market Scope:

India Condom Market Driver:

Increasing Sexual Health Awareness – The Indian condom market is significantly growing due to the rising sexual health education among individuals in the country. This is due to the high prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Syphilis, AIDS, Gonorrhea, etc., during intercourse in India. As per the National AIDS Control Organization and UNAIDS, in India, about 84% of all sexually transmitted diseases occur due to sexual contact without condoms. For instance, in 2023, the HIV cases in India were about 2.4 million, which are continuously rising due to unprotected intercourse.

Similarly, over 20% of the sexually active groups in India are affected by the herpes simplex virus. While the populations, such as sex workers, are at high risk of Syphilis, ranging from 3% to 5%. These factors are leading to a high demand for condoms to save people from these sexually transmitted diseases. This has led to a high production of condoms in India. For instance, several Indian manufacturers such as HLL Lifecare, TTK Group, etc., are actively manufacturing condoms with a production capacity of over 4 billion condoms per year, thus driving the market revenue growth.

India Condom Market Opportunity:

Increasing Government Support – The Indian government is actively promoting the use of condoms through various policies, such as the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) phase IV, Free Condom Distribution Programs, etc. For instance, in early 2023, the Indian Government bought about 60 million condoms through a government agency called the Central Medical Society (CMSS). In late 2023, the CMSS has decided to buy almost 350 million Nirodh condoms to supply them free across the country for family planning and HIV prevention.

Similarly, the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) distributes about 70 million free condoms, especially to the rural and underserved areas of the country. On average, the Indian government spends almost USD12-USD15 million per year on condoms and related awareness programs in India. Also, the government is planning to increase the vending machines for condom access across public places like bus stops, restrooms, hospitals, etc. And, the efforts to ensure condom access within 15 minutes walking distance from every location in both rural and urban areas are creating potential market growth opportunities.

India Condom Market Challenge:

Supply Chain Disruptions Hindering Market Growth – The market is facing supply disruptions and logistics challenges in India due to fragmented distribution channels, uncertain availability of raw materials, price fluctuations, etc. For instance, in 2023, Maharashtra received only 1.2 million condoms, against a quarterly requirement of about 8 million. This shortage has increased the risk of STIs in the Maharashtrian population, and a substantial loss to the manufacturers. For instance, during this shortfall in Maharashtra, a manufacturer reported a 30% decline in order volumes, leading to a loss of almost USD50 million in revenue.

Additionally, due to poor road connectivity and supply chain issues, some of the Indian states, such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, etc., have a limited availability of condoms. The urban usage of condoms is about 13%, while rural condom usage is only 9%, due to infrastructural and logistical barriers, thus hindering the market growth & expansion.

India Condom Market Trend:

Introduction of Vegan & Biodegradable Condoms – The market dynamics are changing due to the utilization of 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainable plant-based resources that are healthy and human-friendly. These condoms offer benefits to the customers who are allergic to traditional condoms, due to some chemicals, lubricants, parabens, and glycerines.

Several companies, such as Bleu, Ms Chief, Salad, etc., have introduced vegan condoms that are 100% natural and biodegradable. For instance, Bleu is India’s first company to launch a 100% vegan condom brand in 2019, which was later acquired by the Sirona company, aiming to grow this brand 10-fold by the end of 2025. Additionally, in late 2023, Bleu launched India’s first spiral-shaped vegan condom that is made from natural and toxin-free latex. These launches are positively shaping the India Condom Market for further growth & development.

India Condom Market (2026-32): Segmentation Analysis

The India Condom Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends and influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2026–2032 at the national level. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Product Type:

• Male Condoms
• Female Condoms

Between the two, the male condom is dominating the market with a market share of more than 95%. The dominance is due to the high public adoption of male condoms over female ones, which is contributing to a high preference for male condoms in India. In India, only 8% females use condoms as their method of contraception. Additionally, male condoms are cheaper as compared to female condoms. For instance, the male condoms cost around USD0.116 per unit, while the price of female condoms is 15x more, which is about USD2.5 per unit, resulting in the dominance of male condoms in India.

Also, the simplicity of using male condoms is increasing their preference among Indians; on the other hand, female condoms are worn inside the vagina, which many females find uncomfortable or unfamiliar to use. Thus, the male condoms are the leading product type in the market.

Based on Material Type:

• Latex Condoms
• Non-Latex (Polyurethane, Polyisoprene)

Among these, the latex condoms hold the largest market share of about 85%. These are dominating the Indian condom industry due to the high availability of the latex material in Indian states, especially in the southern Indian states like Kerala, due to the high production of latex material. Latex can be easily manufactured from natural rubber, and India is one of the largest natural rubber producers. In 2024, the total natural rubber output reached over 85,00,000 tons, out of which 49,00,000 was supplied by Kerala alone.

The total natural rubber consumption in India is about 14,00,000 tons annually, approximately 1,00,000 tons is directly used to produce latex for products, including condoms. Several latex manufacturing units in Kerala, such as Kerala Latex Pvt. Ltd. (Punalur) and Thirumbadi Rubber Company (Kozhikode), with annual production capacities of about 6,000 tons and about 40 tons, respectively, are showing the dominance of Latex as a main material used for condom production in India.

India Condom Industry Recent Development:

• 2024: Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (Durex) reformulated its lubricants to enhance comfort, especially for women, and launched affordable 3-pack condom variants priced around ₹99. This move aims to increase accessibility in rural areas and appeal to female users, supporting broader adoption through affordability, comfort, and inclusive marketing campaigns.
• 2024: Sirona Hygiene Private Limited, a well-being brand under the Good Glamm Group, acquired Bleü, India’s first vegan-certified condom brand. This move supports the growing demand for eco-friendly, cruelty-free products and strengthens Sirona’s presence in the sexual wellness market with a focus on sustainability and conscious consumer choices.
