U.S. CONTRACEPTIVES DRUGS AND DEVICES MARKET ANALYSIS

Contraceptives are birth spacing products that aid in avoiding unplanned pregnancy. There are five widely used contraceptive methods, namely sterilization, hormonal method, barrier method, emergency contraception, and intrauterine method. Sterilization is the most common method implemented globally. While there are a plethora of female contraceptives available in the market, companies and a few University researchers are trying to introduce male contraceptive methods. Women contraceptive methods include vaginal rings, diaphragms, female condoms, oral pills, and intra-uterine devices (IUD). Selecting the most appropriate method is critical to avoid undesired side effects. The use of contraceptives can avoid 60% of maternal deaths and 57% of child deaths worldwide, as opined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2014. Therefore, various family planning initiatives have been introduced by governmental and non-governmental agencies in order to create awareness about prevention of unplanned pregnancy.

Market Dynamics

Companies present in the contraceptives market prefer marketing oral contraceptive pills to churn out considerable and constant revenues compared to one-time revenue generated through long-acting contraceptives. Moreover, there is heavy promotion of oral pills compared to the long acting contraceptives such as IUD, and implant. This has kept the consumers away from the real benefits of long acting contraceptives over the oral pills. This is the reason that oral pills dominate the U.S. contraceptive drugs and devices market. The oral pills market is projected to experience the entry of generics with patent expirations nearing in the forecast period.

However, demand for advanced contraceptive options such as IUD, injectables, implants and diaphragms is observed to be high globally. This is owing to growing awareness among the populace, availability of reimbursement and growing demand for long term contraceptive methods. Government promotes the use of IUD and implants i.e. long-acting contraceptives for better therapeutic effect and safety. Also, reimbursement schemes are made attractive for consumers to opt for these contraceptive methods.
