Iran War: Till now, the impact of the ongoing tension between US and Iran was visible on gas and petroleum products. But now it has made the everyday life of common people difficult. Now this can also affect people’s family planning. We are not saying this but the world’s largest condom manufacturing company Karex is saying this.

shortage of raw materials
In fact, this company believes that the prices of condoms may soon increase by 20% to 30%. The main reason for this increase is the ongoing war in Iran, due to which the supply chain is facing global problems. Due to the war, the raw material used in making condoms is not arriving on time. Due to which this supply is being disrupted.

There is a shortage of this stuff
Because of the war, raw materials such as synthetic rubber, nitrile, silicone oil and packaging materials linked to petrochemicals are supplied from the Middle East. Due to the war, their prices have increased rapidly and supply has also been affected. Due to increasing shipping costs and delays, there is a shortage of stock in the market. For this reason, companies are now planning to increase their prices. The CEO of Karex clearly said that the current situation is very critical and increasing the prices has become a compulsion for the company.

Demand for condoms increased in the market
The special thing is that on one hand the supply has been affected, on the other hand the demand for condoms has also increased in the market. Many reports believe that due to rising inflation and worries about the future, people are avoiding expanding their families, due to which the demand for condoms has increased by about 30%. Its effect can be seen in many countries including India. If the situation continues for a long time, not only will prices increase but there may also be a shortage of condoms in some places.
