Global Hormonal Contraceptives Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global market size for hormonal contraceptives is predicted to be worth USD 20.56 billion by 2028 from USD 16.5 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.49% from 2023 to 2028.

The COVID-19 effect on the hormonal contraceptive market is negative due to the decrease in family planning and the need to prevent unintended pregnancy during the pandemic.

Hormonal contraceptives are mainly used in family planning. For instance, in 2020, according to the UNFPAs, family planning activities primarily decreased by 3.7% compared to the previous year in COVID-19. The lockdown and other rules are followed by people to prevent the spread of the virus. As a result, the manufacturing of contraceptives is being reduced, according to the International Planned Parenthood Federation. In most developing countries, due to COVID-19, 47 million women were discouraged from using contraception, resulting in seven million unintended pregnancies, according to a United Nations Population Fund report. Telehealth services and virtual consultations were advised for contraceptive screening and counseling. As a result, the market will regain its growth in the post-pandemic.

Preventing unintended pregnancy, increasing insurance policies, and Y-O-Y rise in the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases are expected to fuel the growth of the hormonal contraceptive market.

Preventing unplanned pregnancy and user awareness is projected to boost market growth over the forecast period. About 75 million women in developed and developing countries have unintended pregnancies annually, leading to 25 million unsafe abortions and 47000 maternal deaths, per World Health Organization (WHO).

Girls in underdeveloped nations do not frequently have access to modern birth control, which increases the likelihood of unintended pregnancy or abortion. As a result, the rising demand for contraceptives is projected to fuel market growth. According to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all FDA-approved contraceptive methods must be covered by insurance. To help girls, the federal and state governments also provide compensation for family planning products and services. They also lower the risk of anemia, which can cause weakness and exhaustion in certain women due to significant menstrual blood loss. These factors are fuelling the market's expansion. 

Major factors that drive the growth of the global hormonal contraceptive market include an increase in focus on family planning, increasing R & D activities, and increasing government and NGO initiatives to promote contraceptive advancements in hormonal contraception with better efficacy. In addition, health issues associated with teenage pregnancies, increased awareness regarding modern contraception methods, and increased use of oral pills to prevent unplanned pregnancy is predicted to drive market growth in coming years.  Furthermore, there are opportunities in the market because of steps taken by the relevant government to increase awareness about its use and affordable contraception methods as opposed to permanent contraception procedures, as well as an increase in the number of gynecologists who prefer these contraception devices for birth control.

However, the availability of alternate contraceptive methods, the longer drug approval time, and injectable side effects restrict the hormonal contraceptive market growth.  In addition, the side effects of the medicine and the lack of social acceptance of hormonal contraceptives are the significant factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the global hormonal contraceptives market. Side effects include headache, nausea, sore breasts, vaginal yeast infections, and risk of blood clot formation, which is higher in women above 40.
