Japan Contraceptive Devices Market Analysis
The Japan Contraceptive Devices Market size is estimated at USD 638.27 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 850.94 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.92% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Certain factors that are driving the market growth include the increasing awareness about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the rising rate of unintended pregnancies.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the contraceptives market value. The outbreak inflicted a substantial disease burden along with financial adversities that have impacted the economy. While during the coronavirus pandemic, millions of women and girls worldwide lost access to contraception and abortion services. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions, a massive shift of health resources to combat COVID-19, and the fear of infection had all contributed to an increase in the number of unintended pregnancies in the country. As a result of travel restrictions, the incidence of unsafe abortions in the country had led to rising pregnancy exponentially due to a lack of contraceptives. According to a report by the Condom Alliance 2020, condom sales in the country fell 52 percent during the lockdown period in 2020, with a projected full-year decline of 31 percent for FY2021. Thus, Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the market for contraceptive devices.
According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, estimated that in 2020, the contraception usage among the female Japanese population stood at around 56.6 percent and this percentage is expected to reach 62.5 percent by 2030. Moreover, initiatives by the government to raise awareness regarding contraceptives and family planning have also helped the growth of the market. Thus, owing to the above-mentioned factors it is expected to drive market growth. While the increasing burden of sexually transmitted diseases in Japan is further propelling the market growth. For instance , In April 2020, around 28.4 thousand cases of chlamydia were reported by medical institutions in Japan, representing the highest number in the last decade, and at the same time making it the most common STD of Japan. In the same year, the recorded cases of herpes genitalis amounted to exactly nine thousand.
Thus, the aforementioned reasons are driving the market growth.

Condoms are Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
A condom is a sheath-shaped barrier device that is being used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are both male and female condoms available in the market. Their use greatly decreases the risk of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS. They also to a lesser extent protect against genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and syphilis.
Moreover, in Japan, Okamoto Industries has the widest condom range. In 2020, Okamoto in collaboration with Condomania is also debuting Japanese-themed condoms, as well as the world's first condoms coated with a special microbicide that has been shown in medical studies to inactivate up to 99.9 percent of HIV, HSV, and HPV. Thus, considering the above-mentioned factors it is expected to show significant growth shortly.
The government in Japan is introducing different campaigns and comprehensive sex education programs to improve awareness among youth and encourage them to use contraceptives in order to combat STDs and prevent unwanted pregnancies. In Japan, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare procures condoms that are distributed by NACO/SACS to high-risk groups (HRGs) via TI NGOs/ICTC/ART centres for HIV/AIDS prevention. Whereas, in the National Department of Health (NDOH) is working to ensure that male condoms are readily available in all communities throughout the region.
Thus, the aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the market.

Japan Contraceptive Devices Market News
- In July 2022, Zenbird launched the pocket contraceptive class for educational use at schools and pharmacies. It is a teaching kit that provides contraception awareness in an easy-to-understand manner. Professionals like nurses and pharmacists can provide individual guidance to consultants by showing contraceptive items. Because such kits are not distributed in Japan, the project team designed it by referencing 'Contraceptive Kits' used overseas. They have developed a kit so users can learn by actually seeing and touching the samples.
- In December 2021, Cooper Surgical, Inc. completed the acquisition of Generate Life Sciences. This acquisition helps Cooper to improve their reproductive segment.
