In the past, adult erotic products were an unknown category in China for a long time. However, with the rapid development of the Internet and people’s increasing self-knowledge, the public’s view of erotic products is becoming more objective and rational, and the erotic industry is developing rapidly. According to the research data of Ai Media Consulting, the domestic erotic products market will reach 62.5 billion yuan in 2020. Among them, post-85s and post-90s are the main group of online consumers, and their sexuality is obviously more open than that of the previous generation.

The rapid development of the erotic products market is accompanied by a confusing mess, and the situation is especially serious for higher-priced silicone dolls.” 98% of silicone dolls currently purchased by consumers are cottage versions made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which not only have a short lifespan but also pose a cancer risk.”

Last year, when other industries underperformed due to epidemic prevention and control, the realistic love doll industry experienced a growth window.

This includes the most significant increases in orders from Germany and Italy.

The head of a TPE sex doll and mini sex doll factory in Dongguan, Guangdong, said orders for physical dolls have declined this year due to the improvement in the epidemic, but overall growth has been maintained, with nearly monthly exports of about 2,000″. The global epidemic is not over and export orders continue to increase, plus we have domestic business.”
