Overview of the global water-based personal lubricant market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global water-based personal lubricant market to grow at a CAGR of almost 7% between 2016 and 2020. Growing awareness of the several benefits of personal lubricants such as ease of penetration and pleasurable masturbation have augmented the acceptance of these products among consumers. Water-based lubricants are primarily preferred during vaginal sex as they are easily available compared to other lubricants. Also, they are safe to use with latex condoms and are easy to wash off with soap and water. The prevalence of information through blogs, videos, and online forums for discussion is helping women explore and procure these products, which, in turn, is positively affecting the demand for sexual wellness products like personal lubricants. One of the latest developments in the market is the introduction of organic water-based lubricants, which contain natural ingredients and are free of petrochemicals, parabens, glycerin, and animal products. Such innovations in product offerings will not only improve the quality and enhance customer satisfaction but will also lead to more sales of water-based lubricants.
The growing visibility of sexual wellness products such as personal lubricants in the mainstream market has led to a noticeable shift in the consumer’s acceptance of these products. This has created huge growth opportunities for the vendors, who are retailing these products openly. Several retail channels like supermarkets, drugstores, and supercenters have come up with separate store shelves for personal lubricants, including water-based lubricants. Physical retail stores such as Walmart and Rite Aid, as well as e-commerce websites like Amazon and Walgreens, are providing a broad range of wet lubricant options to consumers between 18 to 50 years.
