Market Trends of China Contraceptive Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the China Contraceptive Devices Market according to our research experts:
Intrauterine Devices are Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market During the Forecast Period
An intrauterine device, or IUD, is a small device that doctors place inside the uterus as a contraceptive. They are one of the best birth control methods, and more than 99% are effective. There are two types of IUDs that are available, copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs. Cooper IUDs are covered with copper, and the hormonal IUDs release the hormone progestin. Copper IUDs have been in the market for a long time, since 1988, earlier than hormonal IUDs.
According to an article published by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) in September 2022, CDC advised in 2020 that all hormonal contraceptive methods and intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe for use and they can be used by people at high risk of HIV infections. This recommendation was based on results from a controlled trial that randomized based on 7,800 women across four countries to one of three contraceptive methods (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, levonorgestrel implant, or copper IUD).
Therefore, due to such factors and growing research supporting IUDs, the intrauterine devices segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
