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.
