Hormonal Contraceptives Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product Type, Hormone, Age Group, Gender, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hormonal Contraceptives Market is accounted for $18.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $28.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Birth control treatments that work on the endocrine system are called hormonal contraceptives. These techniques involve using hormones that women typically make, including progesterone and estrogen to stop ovulation and pregnancy. Hormonal contraception alters the uterus, decreasing the possibility of pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptives come in several forms, including skin-attached patches, pills, injections, arm implants, and intrauterine devices. These hormonal contraceptive methods are trustworthy and safe for preventing pregnancy. Over 99% of unwanted pregnancies are avoided when hormonal contraceptives are used.

According to the World Health Organization, modern contraception rose from 54% in 1990 to 57.4% in 2015 globally.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising global population

The world's population continues to grow, and this demographic trend has contributed to the increasing demand for effective birth control methods. Hormonal contraceptives have gained popularity due to their reversible nature, ease, and effectiveness in helping people control the size of their families and postpone or space out pregnancies. As individuals strive to achieve their desired family size and improve their socioeconomic conditions, access to effective contraception becomes crucial. These factors propel market demand.

Restraint:

Associated side effects

Potential drawbacks include thrush, or vaginal yeast infections, along with side effects like headaches, nausea, and sore breasts. In addition to causing mood swings and spotting in between periods, the hormones may lessen women's desire for sex. Additionally, there is a slight chance that blood clots (thrombosis) will form. Women who smoke, are extremely overweight, or have a family history of vascular disease are more likely to be at risk than women over 40. Therefore, these related drawbacks might hinder market expansion.

Opportunity:

Technological innovations

New and enhanced hormonal contraceptive methods have been made available as a result of advancements in pharmaceutical research and development. Low-dose formulations, long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), including hormonal IUDs and contraceptive implants, and cutting-edge delivery methods like Trans dermal patches are some of them. Technological innovations have increased consumer choice and promoted market expansion.

Threat:

Regulatory policies and restrictions

The market may be severely impacted by laws and regulations limiting the supply and use of hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraception use is restricted or hindered in many countries due to strict rules or cultural and religious beliefs. However, these limitations may impede the expansion of the market and restrict the availability of hormonal contraceptives to those who require them.

COVID-19 Impact

Due to the drop in family planning and the necessity to avoid unwanted pregnancies during the pandemic, COVID-19 has had a little negative overall influence on the market for hormonal contraceptives. These contraceptives are mostly used in family planning. Clinic closures, appointment cancellations, and a shortage of healthcare practitioners may have restricted access to contraception, particularly hormonal contraceptives. This restriction on access might have led to a decline in the market for hormonal contraceptives or an increase in the use of less potent forms of birth control.

The oral contraceptive pills segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The oral contraceptive pills segment is estimated to hold the largest share. OCPs have been available for a number of decades and are among the most popular types of hormonal contraceptives. Oral contraceptive pills are a popular option for people looking for dependable contraception because they are quite effective when used appropriately and consistently. They function by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and weakening the uterine lining, all of which block sperm from getting to the egg. Oral contraceptive pills are taken daily; most formulations require 21 days of active pills, followed by a week of hormone-free or placebo pills.

The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hospitals segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. The main factors contributing to segmental growth are the expanding unmet need for these hormonal forms of contraception, women's preference for irreversible contraception in emerging economies, the introduction of innovative intrauterine devices by corporations like Allergen and Bayer AG, and the development of multispecialty hospitals. Furthermore, due to the increasing investment in hospital pharmacy improvement, particularly in developing nations.

Region with largest share:

North America commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period due to factors like the high rate of hormonal contraception uptake, the strong presence of industry players in the area, and superior healthcare infrastructure. Hormonal contraceptives have a well-established organization in North America. The region benefits from a high level of acceptance and knowledge of contraceptive methods and reasonably simple access to hormonal contraceptives via pharmacies and healthcare practitioners. A variety of contraceptive methods, such as oral tablets, patches, injections, and intrauterine devices (IUDs), are available in the North American market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is expected to witness profitable growth over the projection period. Hormonal contraception sales are thriving and varied across Europe. Different European nations have different cultural and legal conventions around contraception, which causes variations in the availability of the product, prescription requirements, and patterns of use. Major pharmaceutical businesses that produce and market hormonal contraceptives are also heavily represented in the region. A variety of contraceptive techniques, such as oral tablets, patches, rings, and implants, are usually available in European countries.
