The India condom market was valued at USD 322.8 million in 2024 and is expected to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2025 to 2034. Rising awareness of sexual health and family planning, affordability and accessibility, focus on gender equity in contraception, and changing attitudes toward sexual well-being are among the key attributes anticipated to fuel the market growth.
 

India Condom Market

Government and non-government organizations have been actively promoting the use of condoms through campaigns aimed at improving awareness of sexual health, preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and advocating family planning. Government-led free distribution programs and subsidized condoms for economically weaker sections have significantly increased accessibility. In addition, initiatives such as the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) and targeted social marketing campaigns have helped normalize condom use in the country, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.
 

Further, younger generations are becoming more open about discussions on sexual health and contraception due to increasing urbanization, education, and exposure to global lifestyles. Moreover, inclusion of sex education in school curriculums and youth-targeted awareness campaigns emphasize safe sex practices, encouraging the use of condoms among adolescents and young adults.
 

Condom is a barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and prevent unintended pregnancies. It is typically made from materials such as latex or polyurethane. Condoms are available for both male and female users.
 

India Condom Market Trends

As digital adoption continues to grow in India, online channels are expected to play an even larger role in driving condom market growth. Mobile commerce allows customers to buy condoms on-the-go, contributing to spontaneous purchases.
 

  • Online platforms offer a broader variety of condoms, from basic options to premium, flavored, textured, and specialty products. This wide variety allows consumers to explore and select products that suit their preferences, which physical retail stores often cannot match due to limited shelf space.
     
  • Additionally, online marketplaces enable customers to read and share product reviews anonymously, thus, building trust and influencing purchase decisions.
     
  • Moreover, the proliferation of smartphones and digital payment methods has made online shopping more accessible and user-friendly in India. Furthermore, the availability of discreet packaging further reinforces trust and loyalty among customers.
