Asia-Pacific Contraceptives Market-Market Dynamics
The report details several factors driving and restraining the Asia-Pacific region’s contraceptives market. Some of these are discussed below.
Drivers
Contributing to the growth of the contraceptives market globally is the necessity to avoid unwanted pregnancies and their complications. The need to avoid unwanted pregnancies, especially in the teenage women, is one of the major drivers for this market. It is also observed that more than half of the women identify non-contraceptive health benefits, such as treatment for excessive menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, and acne, as reasons for use. This is also one of the factors contributing to the growth of the market. The other factors helping the growth of the contraceptives market are the increasing incidence of STDs and the rapid increase in population. Government initiatives promoting the use of contraceptives to avoid unnecessary births and the health benefits from using the contraceptives have also been important players in the growth of the market.
Restraints
Factors such as religious and cultural opposition in certain emerging nations have been restraining the growth of this market. Along with this, the fear of certain side effects and issues such as infertility resulting from the use of contraception have been major setbacks from the market point of view. Issues such as limited access to contraception in the developing and economically backward nations have been another setback in this market. It is estimated that among the APAC women, the need for contraceptive prevalence or meeting the needs of family planning is estimated to be as high as 11%.
The APAC market for contraceptive drugs and devices can be segmented on the basis of the contraceptive method used, mode of delivery, type of device, gender and geography. On the basis of the contraceptive method used, the market is segmented into pills, implants, sterilization, IUDs, injectable, male condoms, vaginal barrier methods, etc. Based on the mode of delivery, the market is segmented into oral, topical and contraceptive injectable.
