U.S. Contraceptive Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. contraceptive market size is anticipated to reach USD 12.46 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.20% from 2024 - 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing availability of contraceptives in the United States has positively influenced various societal aspects, including education, career opportunities, and poverty levels among women. Access to modern contraceptive methods has significantly enhanced women's career prospects, enabling them to earn wages comparable to their male counterparts. In addition, it has resulted in a decrease in the number of women experiencing poverty due to unplanned pregnancies and the financial burdens associated with raising children.

The legalization and access to family planning services have contributed to reducing poverty and improving economic conditions for future generations. Family planning programs have been linked to improved health outcomes for women and children, which indirectly support economic stability. Women who can control their reproductive health are more likely to participate in the workforce and contribute to household income, further reducing poverty levels.

In June 2023, The Biden-Harris Administration launched a new public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance access to contraception, which is a crucial aspect of reproductive health. This initiative seeks to tackle the increasing disparities in women's health across the United States. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to enhancing international family planning efforts, particularly in West Africa, where contraceptive use is low and maternal mortality rates are high. An additional USD 15.5 million has been allocated for fiscal year 2023, bringing the total to USD 86.5 million aimed at improving sexual and reproductive health care in nine Francophone countries.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the U.S. healthcare sector. Contraceptive manufacturers, such as Merck & Co., reported a reduction in demand for the contraceptive implant Nexplanon due to the prioritization of COVID-19 patients by healthcare providers. However, an increase in vaccination and reduced burden of COVID-19 patients helped restore the physician office visits for contraceptive administration, in turn contributing to product demand. Demand for long-acting and nonhormonal contraceptives is expected to increase in the coming years due to convenience, long-term protection, and fewer side effects demonstrated by these contraceptives.
