4. COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Based on the popularity of condom brands in
Vietnam, we choose Durex, Okamoto and
Sagami as OK’s direct competitors.
• Durex is a popular brand not only in Vietnam
but also internationally famous.
Therefore, Durex is OK’s biggest competitors
due to their huge customer base and high
brand awareness.
• Okamoto is a Japanese brand famous for
their high quality and super thin condoms.
With medium price range, Okamoto attracts
many buyers in Vietnam.
• Sagami is a luxury brand from Japan that
targets a higher price range with a wider
range of products. Due to its high price, their
customer base is quite selective.

5. POSITIONING MAP
Compared with Durex’s competitors in Vietnam, OK lacks in the availability of condom types
(fragrance, longshot, dotted and natural) while Okamoto, Sagami and Durex has a wider
range of choices (ultrathin, peak performance, performa and ribbed..). On the other hand,
OK condom has a price advantage (only 9,000VND/per box) thanks to government support.
