Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have a significant effect on sexual and reproductive health globally. As per the WHO, over one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide. The contraceptive methods have shown to alter the risk of acquiring STDs. Spermicides, condoms, and diaphragms all have been reported to provide protection against gonorrhea, chlamydia, and pelvic inflammatory disease in vivo. The rising awareness for sexually transmitted diseases is likely to promote the use of contraceptives for preventing unwanted pregnancies and preventing STDs.
North America accounted for the largest share of the global contraceptive market in 2020. The contraceptives market growth in this region is owing to awareness among the population, prevention of unwanted pregnancies, and increasing product developments by key players in the region.

Increasing product launches in the US is likely to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
