The U.S. sexual wellness market size is expected to reach USD 20.1 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.91% during the forecast period, based on a new report by Grand View Research. The market is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to the growing acceptance of sexual exploration and acceptance of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) communities. Easy use of online shopping and e-commerce has further facilitated sales as it delivers sexual wellness products discreetly. For instance, in February 2022, Sephora, a major beauty company in the U.S., added sex toys from Maude and Dame to its shelves, while department stores, including Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, started selling vibrators in 2021 at their stores.
The popularity of sex toys and vibrators has grown drastically in the past decade. Overcoming the social stigma associated with using vibrators and other toys, couples, and individuals are focusing more on enhancing physical pleasure and are using sex toys for enjoying an intimate relationship. Moreover, solo sex is one of the key factors driving the sexual wellness market’s growth. Sex toy manufacturers have generally targeted women for manufacturing toys around the female anatomy. Different types of products are available in the market for women to enhance their sexual experience such as vibrators, penetrating toys, and nipple clamps. Despite past reservations, high-tech sex toys such as smart vibrators or Bluetooth-enabled devices are in high demand, especially among women.
