据该公司首席执行官接受媒体采访时透露，一家马来西亚避孕套生产商表示，由于伊朗战争引发的全球供应链中断，该公司可能会提高产品价格。
康乐公司（Karex）首席执行官吴明杰（Goh Miah Kiat）周二对路透社表示，该制造商面临合成橡胶短缺，同时其部分产品原材料的投入成本翻了一番。吴明杰对该新闻机构称，不断上涨的货运成本和航运延误也导致该公司客户的库存比往常更为紧张。
吴明杰对路透社表示，到目前为止康乐公司尚能满足供应需求，但如果战争引发的 disruption 持续下去，康乐公司可能会将产品价格上调20%至30%。
“局势无疑非常脆弱。各类商品价格都很高，”他说。“我们别无选择，只能将成本转嫁给客户。”
康乐公司未立即回应置评请求。
伊朗战争已导致途经具有战略重要性的霍尔木兹海峡的船只几乎停航，限制了全球能源供应。这影响了包括塑料和橡胶在内的一系列石油衍生品。根据美国能源部的数据，源自石油和天然气的石化产品被用于超过6000种消费品，其中包括口红、网球拍和睡衣等仅举几例的产品。
康乐公司于1988年在马来西亚柔佛州成立，自称是“全球最大的避孕套生产商”。据该公司介绍，康乐公司每年生产50亿只避孕套，出口至130多个国家。据路透社报道，该公司是美国避孕套公司特洛伊（Trojan）以及英国公司杜蕾斯（Durex）的供应商。
该新闻机构称，康乐公司运往欧洲和美国等目的地的货物通常需要一个月抵达，但由于航运中断，现在需要近两个月才能送达。吴明杰对路透社表示，在供应短缺的情况下，今年避孕套的需求增长了约30%。
Condom maker warns prices may rise due to Iran war supply disruptions
April 22, 2026 / 10:11 AM EDT / CBS News
A Malaysia-based maker of condoms said it may raise its prices due to global supply chain disruptions caused by the Iran war, according to media interviews with the company’s chief executive.
Karex CEO Goh Miah Kiat told Reuters on Tuesday that the manufacturer faces a shortage of synthetic rubber, while the company’s input costs for some materials in its products have doubled. Rising freight costs and shipping delays have also left the company’s customers with leaner than usual stockpiles, Goh told the news outlet.
Karex has been able to fulfill its supply needs so far, but if disruptions from the war continue Karex could raise its prices by 20% to 30%, Goh told Reuters.
“The situation is definitely very fragile. Prices are expensive,” he said. “We have no choice but to, you know, to transfer the cost to customers.”
Karex did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Iran war has led to a virtual stoppage in ships traversing the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, constraining the flow of global energy supplies. That has affected a range of petroleum-derived products, including plastics and rubber. Petrochemicals, which come from oil and natural gas, are used in more than 6,000 consumer products, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, including lipstick, tennis rackets and pajamas, to name a few.
Founded in 1988 in Johor, Malaysia, Karex bills itself as the “world’s largest condom maker.” According to the company, Karex produces 5 billion condoms annually, which it exports to over 130 countries. The company is a supplier to U.S.-based condom company Trojan, as well as the British company Durex, according to Reuters.
The news outlet said that Karex’s shipments to destinations such as Europe and the U.S. normally take a month to arrive, but are now taking close to two months due to shipping disruptions. Amid the shortages, demand for condoms has risen about 30% this year, Goh told Reuters.
