Condoms are Expected to Dominate the USA Contraceptive Devices Market
A condom is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are both male and female condoms. With proper use, women whose partners use male condoms experience a 2% per-year pregnancy rate. Their use greatly decreases the risk of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS. They also to a lesser extent protect against genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and syphilis.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Report, 2017, about one-third of the men or 33.7% said they used a condom the last time they had sex in the United States in 2017. This number had been reported to have increased from 29.5% in 2002, as per the report. Therefore, the increased use of condoms is expected to help the studied segment growth.
