In the context COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns, this is to be expected with people spending more time at home, having more sex, and watching more pornography.
But what kinds of sextech are making waves on the market right now?
Apps
Apps have long been a popular vector for B2C consumers, and sextech is no different. In our list of most valuable sextech companies (more on that later), every single company has an app for its products, services, or communities.
Social media and community
Speaking of community, the success of OnlyFans has proven just how lucrative the alliance of social media and community can be in the sextech space, with creators on the platform trousering millions in earnings from willing community members.
Sexual health and well-being products
With attitudes towards well-being extending beyond physical health, consumers are now more curious about sexual health. With this in mind, sextech companies are leaning into a previously untapped market—psychosexual therapy.
