Summary
Hormonal contraceptives are primarily used to prevent unintended pregnancy; however, some of these contraceptives are also approved or used off-label for other health conditions, particularly menstrual-related disorders. This report focuses on female hormonal contraceptives used for birth control as well as other non-contraceptive benefits distinct from their ability to prevent pregnancy. Female hormonal contraceptives are used in women of reproductive age, which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) refers to all women ages 15-49 years.
GlobalData estimates the 2017 sales for the contraceptives market at approximately $6.34 billion across the 8MM, encompassing the US, the five major European countries (5EU: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK), Japan, and China. By 2027, GlobalData expects the overall market to grow at a moderate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7% to reach sales of $8.24 billion over the 10-year period. The Chinese market is anticipated to grow the fastest, recording a CAGR of 6.2%, while the US, 5EU, and Japan will each record CAGRs of 4.8%, -0.5%, and -1.1%, respectively. At the end of 2027, the US will contribute around 63.5% of global sales, while the 5EU, Japan, and China will account for 78.6%, 16.7%, and 4.7% of global sales, respectively.
