Noida, March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A study recently conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting revealed that the global market for intrauterine devices should grow from USD 4.23 billion in 2020 to USD 5.89 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2021–2027). In the present scenario, the major factors driving the growth of the market are the rising rate of unintended pregnancies, supportive government initiatives, and the growing number of private firms for the prevention of unwanted abortions and pregnancies. Moreover, IUD devices are gaining popularity as they are effective, safe, long-lasting, and eliminate the need for other contraceptives.
Sexual and reproductive health has now made it onto the global public health agenda. Additionally, governments and nonprofit agencies are continually launching family planning campaigns to combat unplanned pregnancies, which have long-term implications for families and society as a whole. The aforementioned factors are driving the growth of the intrauterine devices market globally.
Intrauterine devices have progressed significantly since the invention of the T-shaped Copper IUD in the 1960s. For example, hormonal IUD has been launched in the market to reduce the bleeding caused by copper type. In the last two decades, the global intrauterine devices market has witnessed the need for innovation to improve IUDs efficiency while making them suitable for a large population of women. According to a study, IUDs are the most preferred birth control method for more than 15.0% of women taking contraceptives globally. However, much work still needs to be done in the areas of education, access, and innovation in order to make IUD popular among the target population.

Bayer Women’s Healthcare: Through its innovation and campaigns driving the growth of the intrauterine devices market
Bayer is the market leader in the area of Hormonal IUD. In the last two decades, Bayer has developed a line of Hormonal IUDs targeting women with various birth control requirements. Mirena, Kyleena, and Skyla are some of the known brands of the company. Mirena and Kyleena have slightly higher hormone levels and are approved for 5-year use. On the other hand, Skyla has lower hormone levels and is approved for 3-year use. The company's Skyla and Kyleena brands, which are available in smaller sizes in the market, are targeted at women who have never had children.
In addition to this, the company launched its first-ever TVC in 2019 to promote Mirena and Kyleena. The TVC not only narrates what the levonorgestrel-releasing IUDs do but also communicates basic information about IUDs. The primary objective of the TVC was to raise awareness about IUDs devices among the consumers, which in turn, propelled the growth of the intrauterine devices market.
Furthermore, in August 2020, Bayer entered into a partnership with Direct Relief and launched the “We’re for Her” initiative. The main purpose of this initiative was to make sure that women from deprived communities in the U.S. get access to effective contraception. Such powerful initiatives are expected to uplift the growth of the IUD market in the future.
The COVID-19 Impact
The global economy and humanity have been pushed into a crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the high infection rate and adverse impact on public health systems, various governments were compelled to enforce nationwide lockdowns which significantly impacted manufacturing supply chains, trade, and related services. The production, manufacturing, supply chain, and other operations slowed down globally to limit the spread of coronavirus.
COVID-19 has taken the entire world by storm. Countries around the globe had a very short amount of time to prepare for it. A survey conducted by the UN states that lockdown around the globe will lead to 7 million unwanted pregnancies due to the unavailability of modern contraceptives and other reproductive healthcare services, including intrauterine devices. (IUDs). Furthermore, UNICEF estimated that after the countries implemented lockdown, about 20 million babies would be born. The Guttmacher Institute also estimated a 10% decline in usage of IUDs and other contraceptives, which will lead to more than 15 million pregnancies around the world. During the pandemic avoiding pregnancy is wise for women not only on a personal level but also from a public health perspective, though a shortage of IUDs and other methods of contraceptives has been creating a huge problem.
Now that we are in post-pandemic phase, market players are currently considering digital solutions that would enable them to serve the community and explore new opportunities to do business.
