The global sex toys market was valued at USD 35.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.69% from 2024 to 2030. The market's growth is primarily driven by the increasing use of sex toy products and the growing awareness of sexual health among adolescents and young adults. As societal attitudes towards sex and intimacy continue to evolve, more individuals are exploring sexual wellness products as a means to enhance their sexual experiences.

A key factor contributing to this growth is the rising penetration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the industry. The introduction of AI-powered products such as sex robots, chatbots, and interactive dolls is transforming the landscape of sex toys. These innovations are helping to bridge the gap between traditional sex toys and SexTech products, which offer more personalized, interactive, and immersive experiences. AI-powered sex toys can now be controlled remotely and even sync with apps or audio erotica to tailor the user experience based on emotional and physical responses. For instance, in January 2023, Lovense integrated the ChatGPT API to launch the Lovense ChatGPT Pleasure Companion, a smart device that enhances intimacy by synchronizing its toys with an app, enabling a more responsive and customized experience.

The use of sex toys is also gaining momentum due to their medical benefits, as they are recognized for helping with neurological conditions such as lack of arousal, addressing menopausal symptoms, and improving sexual health. For men, these products offer solutions for conditions like premature ejaculation, low libido, and erectile dysfunction. The growing acceptance of sex toys as therapeutic tools is expected to further fuel the market’s expansion over the forecast period.
