The increasing number of sexual wellness initiatives and crowdfunding campaigns are notably driving the female sex toys market growth, although factors such as the lack of advertising opportunities for sex toys may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Female Sex Toys Market Driver
The global market for female sex toys is projected to experience substantial growth, primarily driven by an increase in sexual wellness initiatives implemented by various companies and organizations. These initiatives aim to promote awareness about the importance of sexual health by using female sex toys. Sexual health encompasses avoiding diseases and preventing infections. For example, in 2019, the sexual health promotion team at Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) focused on delivering sexual health campaigns throughout the UK to raise awareness about sexual health issues and offer effective solutions. These campaigns also encourage safe sex practices.
Additionally, some vendors offering female sex toys are turning to crowdfunding campaigns to launch new versions of their products. These sexual wellness and awareness initiatives, as well as crowdfunding campaigns, can motivate individuals to use sex toys, thus driving the growth of the female sex toys market.
Significant Female Sex Toys Market Trend
A growing preference for customized female sex toys is the primary trend in the market. Vendors that operate in the market have started offering customized and custom-made products to end-users due to their expectations related to the performance and durability of female sex toys and their need for various functions. Customized versions of female sex toys address the different needs of end-users.
Vendors also allow end-users to customize their female sex toys online. For instance, Wobbling Willy, a female sex toy manufacturer, offers customized sex toys online. The company allows end-users to engrave faces on products. The company's sex toys are made of body-safe silicone. The female sex toys offered in the Leaf collection are featured with a custom Power Bullet, which allows end-users to customize vibrations.
The availability of customized female sex toys will increase the sales of such models and enable vendors to gain a competitive advantage, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Female Sex Toys Market Challenge
The primary obstacle hindering the growth of the sex toys market is the dearth of advertising prospects. Advertising and marketing are crucial factors that boost sales for all products. However, advertising campaigns and advertisements for female sex toys from various brands are being rejected by government authorities across the world. Promotion of sex toys has led to legal actions in some countries. For instance, in the UAE, a man was jailed for promoting the sales of sex toys on social media networks. Additionally, vendors find it challenging to obtain approvals from social media companies to advertise their female sex toys as these companies have stringent standards for promoting such products. These restrictions make it difficult for vendors such as Dame and Unbound Shop to advertise their female sex toys, adversely affecting their promotional opportunities and hampering the growth of the market.
