Analysts’ Viewpoint on Contraceptives Market Scenario
Birth spacing methods amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic include precise advice on lactation amenorrhoea method (LAM) to enhance its efficacy, barrier methods such as condoms, and plentiful supplies of oral progestin-only pill, among others. The global contraceptives market is highly fragmented, with the presence of a large number of international as well as regional players. Since there is a lack of awareness about the advantages of contraceptives in developing economies, market stakeholders should initiate collaborative agreements with governments to educate women as well as related individuals about different alternatives. Manufacturers should increase the production of affordable contraceptive options to boost their uptake in developing economies.
High Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections Propels Demand for Contraceptives
A number of international and national organizations have initiated STI (sexually transmitted infections) awareness campaigns. Additionally, regulatory agencies in the U.K., such as the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA), have approved injectable contraceptives. These approvals for women and men are expected to boost the growth of the global contraceptive market, particularly in developed countries.
Increase in adoption of innovative contraceptive technologies in emerging countries is another factor propelling the global contraceptives market. People across the world have become more aware about the need of family planning.
Birth Spacing Helps Reduce Burden on Healthcare Systems amid COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the importance for family planning since most people have been spending time indoors. Manufacturers in the contraceptives market are capitalizing on this opportunity to ensure uninterrupted supply of oral contraceptives, contraceptive injectables, and contraceptive devices. Healthcare organizations are stressing on the advantages of birth spacing during the ongoing pandemic, since avoiding pregnancy during such uncertain times is wise for women not only on a personal level but also from a public health perspective in terms of not adding to overburdened healthcare systems. Manufacturers are increasing efforts to prevent stock-outs for implants, oral contraceptive pills, and copper intrauterine devices.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio Allows Stakeholders to Expand Income Sources
The contraceptives market is likely to provide new vendors significant growth prospects, particularly in emerging countries. These companies can raise awareness and initiate activities about the usage of contraceptive devices. This is projected to increase contraceptive sales. Moreover, these new providers intend to expand their product offerings by introducing enhanced contraceptive devices. This is anticipated to boost the growth of the market.
Oral (pill) contraceptives, topical contraceptives, and injectable contraceptives are various types of contraceptives. Contraceptive devices, on the other hand, include condoms, intrauterine devices (IUD), vaginal rings, implants, patches, diaphragms, sponges, etc. The barrier method, particularly condoms, is the most common form of artificial contraception.
The global contraceptives market is expected to be driven by increase in efforts by governments to raise awareness about the negative effects of population growth and unwanted pregnancies.
Lack of Knowledge about Advantages of Contraceptives Hampers Market Growth
Women with unmet contraception needs rarely state that they are unaware of contraception, do not have access to a source of supply, or that it is too expensive. Women of Asia use modern contraception at a lower rate than the global average. In Asia, majority of unintended pregnancies is caused by the use of traditional contraception or the lack thereof, which results in induced unsafe abortion.
Key barriers to modern contraceptive practice among women in Asia are cultural attitudes, lack of knowledge about methods and reproduction, socio-demographic factors, and healthcare barriers. Lack of knowledge and access could be the most straightforward issues to address in this market. Hence, participants in the market should collaborate with governments to increase awareness about the advantages of contraceptives, which holds potential to boost product sales.
U.S. Sets Benchmark for Contraceptive Innovation and Collaborative Agreements
Key players in the global contraceptives market are engaged in regulatory approvals, innovations in technologically advanced products, launch of new products, and acquisition & collaborative agreements with other companies. These strategies are likely to fuel the growth of the global contraceptives market. A few expansion strategies adopted by players operating in the global contraceptives market are announcing the generic versions of vaginal ring in the U.S. The launch of such vaginal rings can be expected to drive the contraceptives market.
Healthcare organizations are launching global strategies for accelerating the abolition of cervical cancer. This is expected to augment the global contraception devices market. At the same time, manufacturers are investing in R&D to increase availability of FDA (Food and Drug Administration)-approved contraceptive options.
