World's biggest condom maker set to raise prices due to Iran war
Malaysia-based Karex, the world’s largest condom manufacturer supplying brands like Durex and Trojan and the UK’s NHS, plans to raise prices by up to 30% (or more if the Iran war continues) due to surging production costs from disrupted supplies of oil-derived raw materials; the conflict has also triggered price hikes across sectors including air travel, fertilizers, helium, and bottled water, with the UN warning of higher sugar, dairy, and fruit prices amid rising transport costs.
