Spain Contraceptive Devices Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Spain Contraceptive Devices Market Analysis

The Spanish contraceptive device market is expected to register a 7.9% CAGR during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the contraceptive device market at first.The strict lockdowns and government regulations intended to slow down the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a decrease in access to contraceptive devices. Moreover, due to house confinement, sexual activities were notably reduced in the country. For instance, according to an article published by PubMed in May 2021, a survey was conducted on 1,407 women in Spain, and 53.5% of them responded that their sexual activity decreased during the pandemic. Furthermore, according to an article published by the Journal of Clinical Medicine in July 2022, the frequency of sexual relationships was reduced among women in Spain, and it was even lower in those who did not live with their partners during the pandemic. The article further stated that women in Spain faced difficulties accessing contraceptive methods during the pandemic, and these women belonged to the age group of 25 to 34 years. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the market's growth adversely in its preliminary phase; however, currently, the market has reverted back to the pre-pandemic phase, and it is expected to gain traction in the forecast period of the study.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), increasing awareness about STDs, and rising government initiatives are among the major factors driving the growth of the studied market. Currently, people are extremely concerned about their sexual health, and awareness about the usage of contraceptive devices to prevent any STDs is increasing in the country. Such factors are likely to boost the adoption of contraceptive devices, thereby contributing to the studied market's growth. For instance, according to an article published by ScienceDirect in January 2022, the incidence of STDs in Spain has been growing in recent decades, and the number of gonococcal infections per 100,000 persons continues to increase every year in the country. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of STDs in the country will boost the adoption of contraceptive devices, and hence, the studied market is expected to experience growth in the future.

In addition, the rising initiatives by the government of Spain are positively affecting the growth of the studied market. For instance, according to the Council of Ministers of Spain in May 2022, the Government of Spain reformed the law regarding sexual and reproductive health and the voluntary interruption of pregnancy and took new measures on sexuality education and contraception, menstrual health, pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, and reproductive violenceres on sexuality education and contraception, menstrual health, pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, and reproductive violence. It was also mentioned that guaranteed access to barrier methods of contraception will be distributed free of charge in high schools, prisons, and social service centers, and that public funding is also to be expanded and priority given to the latest generation of contraceptives in Spain. Moreover, the development and research of male contraception will also be promoted to encourage men's co-responsibility.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, such as the increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), increasing awareness about STDs, and rising government initiatives, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the side effects associated with the use of contraceptive devices are likely to impede the market's growth.
