Key factors driving the market include the availability of personal lubricants in multiple varieties and the increase in the adoption of sex toys across South and Central America. However, the availability of alternatives for personal lubricants restricts the market growth.
A surge in the number of adult shops and the availability of personal lubricant products in pharmacies and online retail stores indicate a shift in attitude toward such products. In SouthAmerica, regional and international manufacturers are offering different products under various brands. The rising adoption of online shopping is making these products easily accessible for customers. Various online retail platforms, such as Amazon.com, offer separate and dedicated segments for related products.

Personal lubricants have significant applications in sex toy usage. The manufacturers are focusing on the use of technology to enhance the capabilities of personal lubricant products and associated markets. The growing number of product launches contributes to the spread of awareness about them among the population. In January 2020, OhMiBod launched BlueMotion NEX|3, a Bluetooth-enabled and application-controlled vibrating ring for couples. This new functionality enables users to listen to music on their mobile phones while enjoying the rhythm and beat of songs through their vibrator.
