Hormonal contraceptives are formulations of progestin or a combination of estrogen and progesterone hormones. They act on the endocrine system to prevent ovulation and fertilization. As a result, they are used for preventing unwanted pregnancies and are also known to relieve period pain and often result in lighter periods. Hormonal contraceptives are considered one of the most effective methods, which can be taken before and after vaginal intercourse. They include birth control pills, vaginal rings, contraceptive skin patches, and hormone-releasing contraceptive coils. Hormonal contraceptives also affect the womb lining, making it hard for the fertilized eggs to be implanted.

Hormonal Contraceptive Market Trends:
The global hormonal contraceptive market is primarily driven by the increasing awareness among the masses regarding family planning. This has facilitated the need to prevent unintended pregnancies, especially among young couples. Furthermore, a significant rise in health issues associated with teenage pregnancies is promoting the use of contraceptives as they are easily accessible. Governments of different countries are also adopting various initiatives to support and improve access to these products by promoting affordable and high-quality healthcare services. Besides this, the advancements in the healthcare industry have resulted in the production of innovative products such as hormonal patches, implants, intrauterine devices, and drug-device combination products. These devices have fewer side effects and enhanced levels of efficiency in preventing pregnancy, which is favorably influencing the growth of the market.
