Increasing Number of Unplanned Pregnancies

Development of New Contraceptives
According to the United Nations Contraceptive Use by Method, 2019 study, a single method accounts for 50% or more of all contraceptive use in at least one out of every five nations or regions.
Recent Development
- For instance, in April 2021, Mayne Pharma received U.S. FDA approval for NEXTSTELLIS and estetrol for avoiding pregnancy. It is the only contraceptive pill with E4 and a plant-based estrogen having few important benefits compared to other estrogens.
- For instance, in July 2021, the MHRA launched the OTC sale of contraceptive pills in U.K. pharmacies. Two contraceptive pill brands, Hana and Lovima, are selling desogestrel- synthetic progesterone, OTC with a brief consultation with a pharmacist.
- For instance, in June 2021, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA launched the generic form of NuvaRing, Ethinyl estradiol, and etonogestrel vaginal ring contraceptive.
- In February 2020, Agile Therapeutics, Inc. received U.S. FDA approval for the Twirla, a transdermal patch containing levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol.
- In recent years, several new hormonal contraceptives have been approved by regulatory agencies around the world. For example, in 2019, the US FDA approved Annovera, a new vaginal ring that can be used for a year, and in 2021, the FDA approved Phexxi, a non-hormonal contraceptive gel that can be used before sex. These new products offer women additional options for birth control and are likely to drive market growth.
- As the demand for hormonal contraceptives grows in developing markets, several companies are expanding their operations to these regions. For example, in 2020, Merck announced plans to invest $500 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Asia and Africa. This move is expected to increase access to hormonal contraceptives in these regions and drive market growth.
- Twirla is a new hormonal contraceptive patch that was approved by the US FDA in 2020. It contains the hormones progesterone and estrogen and is worn on the skin for a week at a time. It is a new option for women who prefer a non-pill form of hormonal contraception.
- Sayana Press is an injectable contraceptive that was launched by Pfizer in 2019. It contains the hormone progestin and is administered subcutaneously. It is a more user-friendly and convenient option for women who want a longer-acting form of birth control.
