According to the Guttmacher Institute Organization, an estimated 44% of pregnancies globally were unintended and 56% of unwanted pregnancies ended in abortion at the initial phase of this decade. Such peculiar cases amalgamated with increasing instances of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) are significantly boosting the contraceptives market. As per the WHO, more than 1 million STIs are acquired every day globally, and 988,000 pregnant women were infected with syphilis (a form of STI) in 2016, resulting in over 200,000 stillbirths and newborn deaths. All these factors coupled with rapidly increasing global population and governmental measures to counter population tumor are propelling contraceptives market growth. The global contraceptives market is estimated to be around $20 billion-$21 billion as of 2018. Increasing awareness among women in developed as well as rural areas of developing countries such as India and Africa regarding HIV, STIs, fertility control and birth-control is propelling this arcade to be progressing at a CAGR of 6%-7% during the forecast period of 2019-2025.
Contraceptives Market Outlook:
Contraception can be defined as the deliberate inhibition of pregnancy by interfering with the biological process of ovulation, fertilization and implantation through the use of barriers, drugs, medical devices or surgical techniques and the devices used for contraception are called as contraceptives. Contraceptives drugs or devices not only inhibit pregnancy but also sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
In the products segment of the contraceptive market, Intrauterine Devices (IUD) secures the dominant spot and is progressing with an application CAGR of 30% - 35% going through 2025. Its supremacy above several other wide ranges of devices such as contraceptive sponges, vaginal rings, contraceptive diaphragms, subdermal implants, male condoms and female condoms can be attributed to its efficacy in prevention of unwanted pregnancies. According to the findings of the American Pregnancy Association, the intrauterine system has a failure rate of less than 1%.[3]
After an acute region-wise analysis of the global contraceptive market, North America is detected to be the dominant region. This region is responsible for nearly 28% - 30% of the global contraceptives market demand. With more than 50% of the population dominated by women, the United States is the most lucrative marketplace for contraceptives in North America. Also, United States median age is recorded to be around 37 years[4], thus indicating half of the population to be young and sexually active (below 37 years) and major consumers of contraceptives drugs and devices.
Contraceptives Market Growth Drivers and Trends:
A huge chunk of the female population in developing countries are diverting towards ideology such as women empowerment and feminism to establish educational and professional opportunities for women. An increasing number of women are delaying motherhood with the help of contraceptive devices and drugs as they prioritize their careers. Women comprised 47 percent of the total U.S. labor force at the initial phase of this decade. This is a major trend disrupting the global contraceptives market. Such assertions can meet confirmation with facts from the United States Department of Labor stating that 57% of women participate in the labor force and 26% of professionals employed computer and mathematical occupations are women.[5] Women are projected to account for 51 percent of the increase in total labor force growth between 2008 and 2018.[6]
Severe government regulations to control alarming population growth in some densely populated economies are serving as a major trend for the contraceptives market. An example can be derived from APAC, China. The family planning policy in China by the government allows only two children per couple since 2016. Enforcement requires women to have a contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) surgically installed after having a first child, and to be sterilized by tubal ligation after having a second child. Thus nearly 667 million women in China are inevitably potential customers for the contraceptives market.
