In 2023, countries around the world continued to import sheath contraceptives, with China leading the pack. This report provides an insight into the distribution and demand dynamics across various countries.
China's massive 14.9% share of the sheath contraceptive import market reflects its substantial population and the government's commitment to sexual health education and availability. The demand here indicates a robust public health policy aiming to manage population growth and STI rates.
With the United States and Brazil next on the list, capturing 7% and 4.4% of global imports, the importance of sheath contraceptives in personal healthcare is highlighted. These figures point towards well-established national health welfare systems that prioritize accessibility and affordability of contraceptives.
In Europe, countries like Poland and Russia show importations of over 2% each, indicating a consistent demand within the European Union and neighboring regions. Additionally, 'the rest' - countries with smaller percentages - collectively reinforce the sustained global need for this product. Notably, these nations, although individually less prominent in the import data, contribute to a diversified market landscape.
