Synthèse

The global contraceptive market has demonstrated significant growth, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% for 2027, potentially reaching $30.15 billion by 2027. This expansion is attributed to factors such as demographic growth, increased government initiatives for awareness about unwanted pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), as well as changing lifestyles that delay childbearing. The French market follows a similar trend, driven by public awareness of contraception methods and STIs, coupled with investments by sector players in innovative products. Despite the "pill crisis" leading to decreased use of 3rd and 4th generation pills, the pill remains the most used contraceptive method in France. However, the market has seen shifts with increased adoption rates for IUDs and condoms post-crisis. France stands out in Europe for having relatively easy access to contraception, with a score of 90.1% for contraceptive accessibility in 2020. Major players in the global market include Allergan Plc, Bayer AG, and Merck.

Market Analysis: Shifts and Preferences in French Contraceptive Use

The French contraception market, reflecting both global trends and localized preferences, is continuing its growth trajectory, with a notable shift in the methods employed by French women to manage fertility and sexual health. A variety of contraceptive methods are in use, with hormonal pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and condoms being the most prevalent. Around a third of women in France opt for contraceptive pills, while a quarter utilizes IUDs and about 16% prefer condoms. Implants and combined pill and condom usage each account for 5% of the methods chosen. Interestingly, the market witnessed a so-called "pill crisis", with significant public and regulatory scrutiny focused on 3rd and 4th generation contraceptive pills due to their associated health risks. This controversy led to a decline in pill usage from around 41% to 32%, with no significant rise in women forgoing contraception altogether. Instead, there was a notable increase in the adoption of IUDs and condoms, suggesting a shift towards perceived safer and more convenient contraceptive options.

The French contraception market was valued at roughly between 330 and 335 million euros, and with an anticipated compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 8.07%, it can be estimated to have approached 420 million euros in 2019. This growth is attributed to a heightened awareness of contraceptive methods and sexual health, continued innovation in the sector, and government initiatives promoting access and responsible family planning.

Globally, the market is even more dynamic, with a value of roughly between 22 and 23 billion US dollars , and an expected increase of about 23.3% in labor force participation over a five-year period. With an estimated CAGR of 5.5% for 2027, worldwide contraceptive market revenues are projected to achieve around 30 billion US dollars by 2027. Factors such as demographic growth, changes in lifestyle, and increased educational and career opportunities for women have contributed to this uptrend. The global preference for contraceptive methods varies, with female sterilization, male condoms, and IUDs being the most common choices. In France, contraceptive usage preferences shift with age: women between 15 to 34 years favor the pill, while those aged 35 to 49 prefer IUDs.
