| Abstract | Among many prevention mechanisms employed long ago, the most commonly known were male and female condoms. The aggressive and all-rounded efforts of the public, private and humanitarian institutions to reduce STIs in the past have been fruitful. The weakened collaboration on the issue by stakeholders later on, however, paved the way for the STIs to explode and spread faster again. Market research on female condom consumption has become one of the important activities to explore the problem. Females' condom market research has used comprehensive and inclusive data generating instruments/ tools. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect quality data from 577 traditional outlets i.e.297 pharmacies, 142 clinics, 115 drugstores, 13 health centers, and 10 hospitals, and a total of seventeen FGDs specifically 7 FC users FGDs and 10 non- FC users FGD administered. The quantitative data draws perceptive and professional judgment from health providers at those outlets covered while the qualitative information collected is from direct users and non-user of Females' condoms and used to complement the quantitative data with experiential information. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were employed for analysis and interpretation of results to enable the researchers to explain female condom market trends, challenges and propose their corresponding strategic implications and recommendations. Among seventeen hypothesized variables assumed to determine FC demand, lack of awareness, lack of knowledge on how to use, unavailability of promotional materials at the outlet level, lack of access, difficulty to insert, discomfort on use, limited supply channels have been supported both with quantitative and qualitative results. On the other hand, quantitative evidence reveals the significance of variables like socio-cultural, religious and fear, stigma, embarrassment but, qualitative evidence challenged their significance on FC demand. Furthermore, the impact/significance of price on demand for FC was disregarded with both qualitative and quantitative evidence whereas qualitative results support the significant impact of difficulty of insertion to hamper the demand for FC.
