By 2025, the most popular materials for real sex dolls are expected to be high-grade silicone and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), owing to their superior realism, durability, and safety. Silicone remains the preferred choice for its natural feel, resistance to wear, and ease of cleaning. It offers a realistic skin texture and can be molded to achieve highly detailed features, making it ideal for lifelike dolls.
TPE continues to gain popularity due to its softness, flexibility, and affordability. Its skin-like properties provide a highly tactile experience, and advancements in manufacturing have improved its durability and odorlessness. Both materials are non-toxic and hypoallergenic, aligning with health and safety standards.
Emerging innovations may introduce bio-based or biodegradable materials that reduce environmental impact without compromising realism. Additionally, materials that enhance responsiveness—such as those capable of mimicking temperature and elasticity—are likely to become more prevalent. Overall, the focus remains on balancing realism, safety, and sustainability in material selection for future doll production.
