The rapid increase in the usage of contraceptives is a result of the unmet need for family planning and is expected to double in the coming years.
Over the last decade, the market for contraceptives has witnessed fast-paced growth due to rising awareness of reproductive health, family planning, and a wide array of options available for contraception. With increasing government and NGO initiatives to promote contraceptives, significant population growth, and rising global prevalence of sexually transmitted infections are some of the key factors fueling the growth of this market. The adoption of new permanent contraceptive practices instead of tedious family planning procedures is another major driver, especially in low-income countries. Moreover, to augment the adoption of contraceptives, several countries are mandating its coverage by the health insurance companies.
Although the contraceptives market has witnessed considerable growth, it is prone to several unprecedented challenges. The side effects associated with the use of contraceptive drugs and device, rising prevalence of infertility, and the lack of social acceptance are primary challenges hindering the growth of the market. In addition to the prevailing challenges, lack of information and misconception about the use of contraceptives will further curtail the growth of the market.
