Overview
Sex toys come in a range and variety of types, sizes, colors, shapes, designs, concepts, ideas, uses, and applications. Some are for use by both, male or female users, while some are specifically for one and not the other. These toys, devices, or items are designed to look and feel as close as natural as possible, and are primarily used to stimulate sexual pleasure. Most commonly purchased items are dildos and vibrators, and over the last decade, sex dolls. Dildos are designed like the external male human genitalia and can also have the vibration feature or be non-vibrating. Size selection depends on the client, and some companies even offer unusually large, oversize, and even alien-looking unique customized products.
Dynamics
Initially, the target audience for sex toys was primarily women. However, men currently make up a major consumer base for sex toys as well. Rapid growth of the cyber café trend, expanding Internet network, laptop and PCs sales, growing adoption of mobiles and smartphones, changing lifestyle, expanding Westernization culture and influence, changing mindset, increasing marriage and divorce rates, rising base of individuals suffering from conditions such as clinical depression, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, inhibited sexual desire, injuries sustained in accidents or due to surgery, results of childhood illness, etc., are among some of the major factors driving demand for sex toys globally. Some types of sex toys that are purchased the most are vibrators, cock rings, and personal lubricants, and can be purchased at sex shops, pornographic DVD stores, and at some pharmacy/chemist stores. Earlier, high awareness regarding sex toys was primarily limited to regions such as North America and Europe, as well as some countries in Asia Pacific. However, the advent and rising penetration of the Internet has rapidly resulted in substantial expansion in awareness about these products. The Internet has made potential purchasers more exploratory, and excitement related to various sexual acts is further fueled by imagination, because of online visibility. These products are offered through e-Commerce as well as advertised on almost every adult entertainment website. Advertising videos use well-known or liked porn movie stars to enact usage of products with clear audio and video, which further fuels imagination and can potentially influence purchase behavior. Another major factor driving market growth is confidentiality while making an online purchase. Potential customers do not necessarily need to physically visit a sex toy store or outlet to select and make a purchase. Products can be selected and options for payment include cash on delivery (CoD), or online purchases cane be made. Furthermore, vendors offer discounts and add-on products as well. As demand and sales continue to increase, especially among an increasingly younger consumer base, manufacturers continue to experiment in designs and materials, and this is a trend that is expected to continue over the forecast period. Demand for customized versions of female sex toys has been increasing significantly. Some users seek unique shapes and sizes of dildos to have a unique experience. Growing popularity of concepts such as bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism (or BDSM) has been resulting in an expanding portfolio of products. The number of products currently available has vastly grown over the past two decades. This evolution has opened up vast opportunities for players in the market to design and develop newer and more unique products, and introduce the same through visibility in films produced in the porn industry. Design and production is done according to requirements related to performance and durability of the product as well as the need for various functions. A rapidly growing pornographic movie industry globally is a primary driver of sales and production of unique sex toys, especially in China and Japan, as well as the US. However, despite sex toys being allowed to be sold as novelty products in most countries, taboo and regulations in some countries can impact sales and revenue to some extent. Sex toys and related products are considered ‘obscene’ in some countries and hence are deemed illegal in some countries. However, popularity of online purchasing is significantly in countries such as India, and demand for these products has been increasing owing to import of products and local sales of the same thereafter. A major market providing these products to countries in the region include China and Taiwan.
