United States Sexual Lubricant Market Outlook & Forecasts 2023-2028 Featuring Prominent Vendors - BioFilm, Church & Dwight, Karex, LifeStyles, & Reckitt Benckiser - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "U.S. Sexual Lubricant Market - Industry Outlook & Forecast 2023-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

U.S. Sexual Lubricant Market is projected to reach a value of $722.52 million by 2028 from $456.04 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7.9%

The U.S. sexual lubricant market is moderately fragmented, with key vendors including Reckitt Benckiser, BioFilm, Church & Dwight, Lifestyles, and Karex Berhad.

These vendors offer a wide range of high-quality lubricant products, including water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based options. To thrive in this competitive industry, vendors prioritize innovative formulations, attractive packaging, and effective marketing strategies to build brand recognition.

The Southern U.S., with its large population base and increasing disposable income, holds a significant share of the market. The region's diverse consumer demographics, including older adults seeking enhanced experiences and college students exploring their sexuality, contribute to the demand for sexual lubricants.

Growing Popularity of Private-Label Brands

Private label brands are products that retailers sell under their own label rather than the original manufacturer's label. Introducing private label brands in the U.S. sexual lubricant market has allowed retailers to offer their customers a wider range of products at a competitive price. This has increased competition in the market and given consumers more options to choose from.

Private label brands typically offer similar quality to established brands at a lower cost, making them a popular choice among cost-conscious consumers. Nevertheless, private-label brands constitute a significant chunk of the market share in the U.S., with retail sales worth over USD 50 million (about 15% of the U.S. market share).

Further, Trojan by Church & Dwight is the largest condom brand in the country. Although Trojan lubricants have not made significant progress in sales and acceptance among U.S. customers, brand awareness and a loyal Trojan condom user base are expected to fuel the growth of Trojan lubricants during the forecast period.

Increase In Festivals, Tradeshows, Expos

The U.S. sexual lubricant market has witnessed rising demand over the last couple of years due to increased festivals, trade shows, and expos related to sexual wellness. People in the U.S. are adopting enhanced and outspoken routes toward sexual wellness. With time, frequent efforts to relate sexual wellness with the daily routine are being emphasized.

Brands are constantly striving to reduce the misconception created between obscenity and the sexual wellness of individuals. The increase in the number of brands catering to the needs of women as a part of sexual wellness is further pushing opportunities for growth in the future. Such factors paved the way for sexual wellness festivals, adult trade shows, and expos over the past few years.

At the beginning of 2023, one of the sexual wellnesses B2B trade shows, "STIMULATE," is starting in Nashville, U.S. The tradeshow is created to connect industry suppliers, retailers, online sellers, and vendors. The tradeshow will offer complimentary retail education to the attendees.

Several brands will participate in the tradeshow with an opportunity to highlight their key innovative product offerings and explore a new method of reaching out to the audience. Institutional investors also watch such occasions to capitalize on suitable revenue-generating opportunities.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

Stringent Regulatory Environment

In the U.S., sexual lubricants, depending on the content of the formula or the scope of use, are classified as either Class I or Class II medical devices by the US FDA and fall in the same category as condoms. Thus, to sell these lubricants in stores, vendors must obtain the premarket notification or 510(k) clearances. This is a lengthy process and requires a comprehensive round of safety tests. For instance, obtaining the 510(k) clearances may cost up to USD 200,000 and take two years.

These regulatory challenges can make it difficult for manufacturers to bring new and innovative products and limit U.S. sexual lubricant market growth. However, companies that can navigate these regulations and create products that meet customer needs and safety standards are well-positioned for success in this market.
