Growing government efforts to encourage the use of condoms and rising cases of sexually transmitted infections are among the factors contributing to the growing fundus camera market size. However, side effects of materials used in male condoms hinders the male condoms market growth.

Condoms are the only way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV and herpes. Condoms act as a barrier technique of birth control, preventing sperm from reaching eggs. Condoms are made of extremely thin latex (rubber), polyurethane, or polyisoprene and are intended to prevent pregnancy by preventing sperm from contacting an egg. When used correctly during vaginal, anal, and oral sex, they can help protect against STIs. They are available at most drugstores, vending machines in public restrooms, online pharmacies, and at some health care clinics.
