North America Sex Toys Market Overview

The US, Canada, and Mexico are key contributors in the North America sex toys market. In North America, the US is the largest market for sex toys. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of sex toys due to the normalization of sexual pleasure through devices and growing number of product launches. Moreover, business activities by market players such as partnerships, collaborations, and expansion are anticipated to drive the growth of the sex toys market in the US during the forecast period. Moreover, the extent of innovation introduced by start-ups is potentially changing the entire dynamic of the market. Start-ups in the market such as Ora and The Ultimate G have created vibrators that are markedly different from the existing products in the market in terms of design and components. The increasing number of vendors in this product segment has led to competition and product variety. In the past, sourcing investments for a start-up project on sex toys was difficult. However, the recent boom in the sexual wellness market has convinced many investors to fund innovative sex toys. For instance, Robin Elenga, the creator of the Revel Body vibrator, received quick funding from investors. Elenga took only four hours to raise US$ 800,000 for his sonic vibrator project. Investors are aware of the massive market potential of sex toys, especially vibrators, and are willing to invest in innovations in this market. With sexual wellness products getting mainstream exposure through the internet, media, and literature, sex toys have gained popularity over the past year. With the adult vibrator market in the US attracting a lot of attention due to media and promotional activities, public awareness of the product has increased. Hollywood movies such as Fifty Shades of Grey, based on a trilogy of the same name by E. L. James, have also influenced the market, thus increasing the demand for sex toys. After the trilogy launch in 2012, sex toys and various restraints or products used in the movie witnessed a 400% growth in sales in the following months in the US market. This single franchise changed the public perception of sex toys and promoted sex toys as a mainstream product in North America.
