M2 - Tue Jul 08, 10:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d964b9/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Contraceptives Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The global contraceptives market is set to grow at a CAGR of 5.90 percent over the period 2013-2018. The Global Contraceptives market is driven by several factors, of which the growing prevalence of unplanned pregnancies is one of the major drivers. In order to control the 41 percent of unplanned pregnancies out of 208.2 million pregnancies globally, there has been an increase in the number of initiatives by governments and NGOs. Furthermore, the report states that one of the major challenges is the introduction of low-cost generic contraceptives. Recently, pharmaceutical companies have introduced new products into their portfolios or diversified their contraceptive drugs and devices. This trend has been primarily supported by several prominent deals or partnerships to develop or introduce new products with better efficacy and safety profiles. These strategic decisions will help companies to generate revenue and acquire a significant share of the Global Contraceptives market. Some of the major acquisitions in this space include Conceptus Inc. by Bayer, Warner Chilcott plc by Actavis, Uteron Pharma SA by Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. Some of the other prominent deals include Bayer and USAID partnering to make Microgynon, an oral contraceptive and Starpharma Holdings licensing agreement with Okamoto Industries Inc. for the VivaGel-coated condom. The global contraceptives market can be segmented broadly into two divisions: Drugs and Devices. This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Contraceptives market for the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of various products used for contraception which include: - Drugs (Oral Contraceptive Pills, Injectable Contraceptives, Topical Contraceptives) - Devices (Male & Female condoms, Diaphragms, IUDs, Vaginal Rings, Female Sponges and Subdermal Contraceptive Implants) Key Vendors: - Actavis plc - Bayer AG - Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Merck & Co. - Pfizer, Inc. - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd Other Prominent Vendors: - Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corp. - Agile Therapeutics, Inc. - ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - Ansell Ltd. - Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp. - Blairex Laboratories Inc. - Church & Dwight, Co.
