The global hormonal contraceptive market size is anticipated to reach USD 21.21 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.01% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market is expected to be driven by the introduction of innovative products and increasing awareness about reproductive health in emerging regions. More women in developing economies are using contraceptives due to the rise in government initiatives and programs, which is anticipated to accelerate market growth. For instance, according to the UN World Fertility and Family Planning 2022, in 2021, 1.9 billion women of reproductive age received some form of contraception to avoid pregnancy with 77% of women among them using modern contraceptive methods including implants, patches, IUDs, and others.
According to the State of World Population 2022, by UNFPO, globally, approximately 50% of all 121 million pregnancies each year are unwanted. As per the Seeing the Unseen report: The case for action in the neglected crisis of unintended pregnancy, more than 60% of unwanted pregnancies result in abortion and the projected 45% among them are unsafe. Hence, to avoid unsafe abortions, countries are spreading awareness about contraceptives, which is expected to propel industry growth.
Due to the highly competitive nature of the market, companies are making significant investments in research and development. They are also adopting various strategies such as mergers and acquisitions and expanding their product pipelines. For instance, in February 2022, Organon Group of Companies acquired rights of Mercilon and Marvelon, combined oral hormonal daily contraceptive pills from Bayer AG in the People's Republic of China, including Macau and Hong Kong. In addition, it has agreed to acquire rights in Vietnam to these products. This acquisition aims to provide global ownership rights of these brands, except in South Korea.
