U.S. Emergency Contraceptive Pills Market Size, Share And Trends Analysis 

The U.S. emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) market size is expected to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.24% from 2023 to 2030. The rising acceptance of ECPs among women of reproductive age is expected to drive the growth. As more women recognize the importance of emergency contraception and its effectiveness, the market is expected to witness further expansion to meet the increasing demand for accessible and reliable contraceptive options.

The market is anticipated to grow owing to the increasing incidence of unintended pregnancies. These pregnancies can adversely affect women's health, education, career, and family life. According to The National Survey of Family Growth, in 2017, 60.3% of women aged 20 to 44 years at risk of unintended pregnancy used effective contraceptive methods. This data highlights the need for reliable emergency contraception options, leading to the market's growth in response to the increasing demand from women who want to avoid unintended pregnancies.

Key players are implementing various strategies such as partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, expansions, and launching new products to expand their market presence. These strategic initiatives are expected to contribute to the market's growth. For instance, in April 2023, Foundation Consumer Healthcare, a private company manufacturing over-the-counter emergency contraceptive pills and healthcare products, is considering a potential sale worth 4 billion. The company gained prominence in 2017 when it acquired emergency contraception brands like Plan B One-Step from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, based in Israel. This move contributed to the company's significant recognition in the market.
