The overall trend in monthly new family planning acceptors increased from March - December 2020. Hence COVID-19 had an adverse impact in the beginning but as the situation worldwide normalized, the hormonal contraceptive market started to pace up.
In addition, increasing focus on family planning, favorable regulations by the government, and advancements in hormonal contraception are actively affecting the growth of the studied market.
The need to prevent unintended pregnancy and urbanization coupled with user awareness is projected to boost market growth over the forecast period. For instance, The Department of Economic and Social Affairs, World Fertility and Family Planning 2020 report, stated that globally, women have fewer babies, but fertility rates were high in some parts of the world. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has a goal that is pertinent to family planning and fertility under objective, which comprises a number of aims to protect the population's health and well-being. In accordance with Target 3.7, all people is likely to have access to family planning, informational and educational materials, and programs that incorporate reproductive health into national policies and plans by the year 2030. Thus, the awareness and government initiatives on family planning is likely to results in an increased demand of contraceptives, which is ultimately projected to boost the market.

Such approvals are projected to augment the market growth.
Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the availability of alternative contraceptive methods and health risks associated with hormonal contraception are likely to impede market growth.
