Pitfalls & Challenges |
|
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the world of birth control, especially injectable contraceptives. With family planning clinics shut down or limited, women have had fewer options to access these crucial methods. For example, in 2020, over 12 million women missed out on vital family planning services, including contraceptive injections. This led to an estimated 1.4 million unplanned pregnancies. To make matters worse, the pandemic messed with the supply chain for injectable contraceptives. Manufacturers struggled to keep up with demand, and distributors had difficulty getting the products where they needed to go. This disruption led to shortages and made it even harder for women to get the contraceptive care they need.
Injectable Contraceptives Market Driving Factors
The government and other organizations are making it easier for people to get their hands on injectable birth control, and that's a big reason why the market for these products is growing. For example, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Pfizer, and Becton, Dickinson & Company (BD) teamed up in 2014 to make injectable birth control more available to millions of women in poor and middle-income countries. Since then, they've expanded their partnership and plan to distribute over 320 million doses of Pfizer's injectable contraceptive, Sayana Press, by 2030. The injections will be given using BD's Uniject auto-disable prefillable injection system. These kinds of initiatives are helping the entire injectable birth control market to grow.
Injectable Contraceptives Market Restraining Factors
The aftereffects associated with the use of injectable contraceptives are expected to restrain the growth of the market. For instance, according to report by world health organisation (WHO), the side effects associated with the use injectable contraceptives are, irregular menstrual bleeding patterns and amenorrhea (the absence of menstrual bleeding). Additionally, other than menstrual disruption, some other side effects were also observed such as, weight gain, heavier menstrual bleeding, headaches, dizziness, breast tenderness, body aches, nervousness, fatigue, and acne. Such side effects are somehow making women less interested towards the use if injectable contraceptives, thereby hampering market progress.
