Dublin, Aug. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Contraceptive Pills Market By Pill Type (Progestin Pills & Combination Pills), By Category (Generic & Branded), By Sales Channel, By Region (North America, Europe, APAC, South America & MEA), Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global contraceptive pills market was valued at $ 6 billion in 2018 and is expected to witness growth at a CAGR of 6.6% during 2019-2024, to reach $ 8.8 billion by 2024, owing to the rising awareness regarding contraception methods in emerging countries. Contraceptive pill is one of the most commonly used forms of reversible birth control.

This form of birth control suppresses ovulation (the monthly release of an egg from the ovaries) by the combined actions of the hormones estrogen and progestin, thereby drastically reducing the chances of becoming pregnant.

Unwanted pregnancies are on the rise, globally. Government bodies of various countries are taking various measures like promoting the use of contraceptive pills to prevent this unwanted growth. Given the widespread implications of unwanted pregnancies, the market for contraceptive pills is expected to experience a surge during the forecast period. However, factors like time constraints associated with the intake of emergency contraceptive pills and their side-effects, are expected to hamper the sales of emergency contraceptive pills during forecast period.

In terms of category, the contraceptive pills market is segmented into generic and branded, of which branded drug category accounted for a significant share in the global contraceptive pills market in 2018 and the segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance during forecast period as well. The growth of the branded drug category is backed by the widespread adoption of branded contraceptives due to easy availability and more safety in comparison to generic drugs.

Regionally, North America accounted for a significant share of around 40% of the global contraceptive pills market in 2018. The growth of the North American contraceptive pills market is majorly attributable to the strong presence of key market players, higher awareness about sexual health and large number of unintended pregnancies in the region. Among countries, the US contraceptive pills market accounted for majority share in the North American contraceptive pills market in 2018 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during forecast period as well.

The global contraceptive pills market is fragmented in nature due to presence of several generic drugs. Approval & commercialization of various products and expanding geographical reach are major strategies adopted by industry participants to enhance their market share.

Some of the major players operating in the global contraceptive pills market are Bayer AG, Allergan, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited. among others.
