Female Condoms are being promoted extensively in the US. The product as well as the market itself, is relatively at a nascent stage. It’s difficult to predict the market size say 10 years from now, but it does have the potential to surprise all of us on the upside.
Attaching an e-newsletter recd. from National Female Condom Coalition which will shed some light on the efforts being made to promote female condoms. http://www.nationalfccoalition.org
