China Contraceptive Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

China Contraceptive Devices Market Analysis

The China Contraceptive Devices Market size is estimated at USD 711.73 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 956.96 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.10% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the Chinese contraceptive devices market. The strict lockdowns and government regulations increased the usage of contraceptive devices. For instance, according to an article published by Nature in August 2021, a significant decrease was observed in the frequency of sexual intercourse in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a significant increase in contraceptive device usage was seen, including condoms, the rhythm method, and the coitus interruptus method, during the pandemic. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the market's growth favorably in its preliminary phase. However, the market is expected to lose traction post the pandemic.

Factors such as growing cases of sexually transmitted diseases and rising government initiatives with respect to the prevention of these diseases are expected to contribute significantly to the market's growth. According to an article published by PubMed in October 2022, a study conducted in China showed that the overall positive rate of reproductive tract infections among the 4,39,372 women of reproductive age was 5.03%. The most common infection was candidiasis, which accounted for 2.47%, bacterial vaginosis at 1.28%, syphilis at 0.73%, T. vaginalis at 0.49%, C. trachomatis at 0.20%, and N. gonorrhoeae at 0.06%. Thus, there is a rising need for preventive measures for such diseases, which is expected to boost the demand for contraceptive devices in the market.

In addition, new product launches and strategic activities by major players in the market are positively affecting the growth of the studied market. Therefore, owing to such factors, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the forecast period. However, the side effects associated with the contraceptive devices are likely to impede the market's growth.
