Hormonal Contraceptives Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028, Segmented by Method (Pill, Intrauterine Device, Injectable, Vaginal Ring, Implant, Others), By Hormone (Combination Hormonal Contraceptives v/s Progestin Only), By Region, and Competition

The Global Hormonal Contraceptives Market is anticipated to witness an impressive growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the growing awareness regarding usage of oral contraceptive and its benefits for preventing the unintended pregnancy and population control significantly increased the demand for hormonal contraceptives across different parts of the globe. Additionally, adoption of hormonal contraceptives has significantly increased and increasing awareness among women of different age group for leading the safe life is further expected to increase the demand for different hormonal contraceptives procedures, thereby fuelling the market growth through 2028. For instance, in April 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved a combination of drospirenone and estetrol tablet Nextstellis marketed by Mayne Pharma for preventing pregnancy, one of the first combination pills containing naturally occurring estrogen. Furthermore, increasing focus on family planning, favourable regulations by the government and advancements in hormonal contraception is further expected to increase the demand for hormonal contraceptives, thereby supporting the market growth. Similarly, supportive initiatives by various governments to increase to contraceptive products will propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2019, Allergen Plc collaborated with Ashley Tisdale, a musician, and actress, for the awareness campaign “Women Who Know”. According to the World Health Organization provided guidelines, for the usage of hormonal contraceptives, such as intrauterine devices, progestogen injectables, and implants, for women at greater risk of HIV. Hormonal contraceptives come in a variety of forms, including pills, patches, injections, vaginal rings, and implants. These methods are highly effective, with a failure rate of less than 1% when used correctly and consistently. Hormonal contraceptives can be expensive, especially in some regions, which makes them inaccessible to many women. Hormonal contraceptives can cause side effects such as nausea, headaches, and weight gain, which can discourage some women from using them. Religious and cultural beliefs that prevent the use of contraceptives can be a barrier to market growth in some regions. In some regions, hormonal contraceptives may not be readily available due to limited healthcare services or inadequate distribution networks. Hormonal contraceptives are not suitable for all women. Women who have a history of blood clots, breast cancer, liver disease, or certain other medical conditions may not be able to use hormonal contraceptives. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best form of birth control for individual needs and circumstances.

Increasing Number of Unplanned Pregnancies

The main factors that affect the growth of the global hormonal contraceptives market are the increasing awareness on family planning due to growing urbanization, growing g influence for the changing lifestyle of individuals. Many government organizations are taking initiatives to control the population size. However, hormonal contraceptives are considered more reliable than non-hormonal contraceptives such as condoms and diaphragms, there is a huge chunk of the female population with unplanned needs. This in turn may help the hormonal contraceptives market growth during the forecast period. As per a publication in PubMed, the number of unintended pregnancies in the U.S are around three million annually. So, growing unplanned need for contraceptive significantly increased the demand which is further boosting the growth of the market in the forecast period. According to an NCBI research, only 1 woman out of 1000 women gets pregnant if they take these contraceptives properly. There is a growing awareness about the importance of family planning and the need for effective birth control methods to prevent unintended pregnancies. This is driving the demand for hormonal contraceptives as they are one of the most effective and convenient methods of birth control. The number of unintended pregnancies is on the rise globally. Hormonal contraceptives are an effective way to prevent unintended pregnancies and are therefore in high demand. With increasing urbanization and changing lifestyles, there is a growing need for effective birth control methods that are convenient and reliable. Hormonal contraceptives meet these requirements and are therefore preferred by many women.

Development of New Contraceptives

Major companies are innovating to manufacture a chewable low dose oral contraceptives that reduce side effects. Chewable contraceptive initiative was an attempt to reduce side effects while at the same time making it easier for the patients to get into a daily regimen of using this contraceptive. Some of the top companies that develop and sell chewable low-dose oral contraceptives are Lupin pharmaceuticals, Walter Chilcott and Watson pharmaceuticals. According to the United Nations Contraceptive Use by Method, 2019 study, a single method accounts for 50% or more of all contraceptive use in at least one out of every five nations or regions. LARCs such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a high level of effectiveness and convenience compared to traditional methods. This is driving the growth of the hormonal contraceptives market. Major players in the market are investing heavily in research and development to launch new products and improve the existing ones. For example, the recent launch of A-Z My Way by Merck & Co. is expected to drive the growth of the hormonal contraceptives market. The development of new hormonal contraceptives is necessary to meet the changing needs of women. Women have different preferences and needs when it comes to birth control, and new products need to be developed to offer a range of options that suit different lifestyles and medical needs. Hormonal contraceptives can have side effects, and the development of new products can help address these issues. For example, some women may experience mood changes, weight gain, or decreased libido when using hormonal contraceptives. Developing new products with different hormone combinations and dosages can help reduce side effects and increase user satisfaction. Hormonal contraceptives need to be convenient and easy to use to increase user adherence and effectiveness. The development of new products that offer longer-acting and more user-friendly options can help improve convenience and reduce the burden of daily pill-taking. The safety of hormonal contraceptives is important, and the development of new products is necessary to address safety concerns. New products need to be rigorously tested for safety and efficacy before they can be approved for use, and ongoing research is needed to monitor and improve the safety of hormonal contraceptives.
