Demand for condoms is rising around the world

Following the release of coronavirus pandemic measures around the world, Durex has seen greater demand for condoms. The greatest interest is observed mainly in China, but demand is also in the United States and Europe. While last year at the beginning of the pandemic, interest in condoms waned as people were not in the mood for sex games due to the stressful situation, on the contrary, the situation changes with the release of security measures. In addition to condoms, Durex has seen increased interest in other products designed for intimate moments. According to Reckitt, companies that produce disinfectants still hold a strong position. For example, companies that produce Lysol and Dettol disinfectants increased by 21.1% in the first quarter. "Demand for Dettol and Lysol is still high as customers try to protect themselves against the spread of the virus and they still use disinfectants. We notice that many people have adjusted their hygiene habits and are protecting their health more than ever because they want to return to normal, "Raxitt Director Laxman Narashimhan told the BBC. According to him, the company will continue to map the situation regarding the covid pandemic and will try to adapt its products to customers as much as possible. Demand is changing as a pandemic develops. For example, disinfectants and antibacterial gels are currently of great interest in India, where the coronavirus continues to deteriorate, but is declining in China, which has brought the pandemic under control. On the other hand, the demand for medicines and medical devices is declining, as many people have already stocked up on flu and cold medicines and are not currently buying as much. For example, Neurofen and Strepsils fell by 16.4%.
