Global Emergency Contraceptive Pills Market 2016-2020

About Emergency Contraceptive (EC) Pills

EC pills are short-term contraceptives used in the initial days after sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy due to various uncertainties such as unprotected intercourse, coerced sex, forgotten pills, and condom breakage. These pills are only effective before the fertilization of the ovum by the sperm. As per WHO, levonorgestrel-based EC pills are ideal for users when taken in a single dose. These pills are not effective after five days once the ovulation process begins. Factors such as urbanization, increasing acceptance of sex, and growing visibility of EC pills are increasing their penetration in emerging economies.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global EC pills market to grow at a CAGR of 1.93% during the period 2016-2020.
