Global Sexual Lubricants Market 2023
Sexual lubricants, more commonly referred to as personal lubricants, are products designed to reduce friction and enhance comfort during sexual activity. They are utilized to provide supplemental moisture and alleviate vaginal dryness, thereby making intimacy a more pleasurable and comfortable experience. These products can also facilitate the insertion of sex toys and mitigate discomfort during different sexual practices.
The global market for personal lubricants is projected to demonstrate promising growth over the 2023-2029 period, expanding at a projected compound annual rate of approximately 7.9%. This robust pace of expansion is anticipated to generate incremental market value in excess of $0.7 billion.
Heightening consumer demand for intimacy-enhancing lubricants is fueling market gains. This rising demand stems from increasing prevalence of conditions impacting sexual health and wellbeing, such as vaginal dryness and erectile difficulties. By enhancing natural lubrication, personal lubricants help address dryness-induced pain and discomfort during intercourse, thereby improving satisfaction.
According to research findings from the North American Menopause Society, nearly half of surveyed women in the United States reported experiencing vaginal discomfort primarily relating to dryness that causes pain during sex. With sexual dysfunctions becoming more pervasive among aging demographic cohorts, the requirement for tailored solutions to treat medical issues is growing.
Beyond fulfilling needs spawned by certain health factors, lubricants additionally satisfy lifestyle-driven demands of consumers seeking to augment sensory experiences and performance. Manufacturers are responding to these drivers by developing varied product formulations customized for diverse needs. Water-based, silicone-based, and hybrid varieties provide differentiated feels.
