World's Top Condom Producer Karex to Raise Prices 20-30% Amid Iran War Supply Disruptions

Karex Bhd, the world's largest condom manufacturer, plans to raise prices by 20-30% due to supply chain disruptions caused by the Iran war. The Malaysian company, which produces over 5 billion condoms annually and supplies Durex, Trojan, UK NHS and UN programs, has seen costs surge for raw materials including synthetic rubber, nitrile and lubricants. Demand has risen about 30% this year as shipping delays leave customers with lower stockpiles, with shipments now taking two months instead of one.
