The increasing rate of unintended pregnancies and unwanted abortions globally is driving demand for long-term, effective contraceptive solutions like IUDs. IUDs offer long-term efficacy and increased acceptance among women due to their convenience and effectiveness in preventing pregnancies for extended periods. However, the market also faces challenges, including the adverse effects associated with IUD use, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, cramping, and potential perforation. They are superior to copper intrauterine devices and pose fewer complications and risks. Although the online segment has a smaller share of the market, it is expected to grow faster than the offline segment, thanks to increased Internet connectivity, mobile adoption, and consumer awareness. Addressing these concerns through continuous research and development of new IUD technologies is crucial for market expansion. Additionally, increasing awareness and education about the benefits and risks of IUDs, as well as efforts to make them more accessible and affordable, will further fuel market growth.

Modern IUDs, such as PARAGARD, Mirena, and LILETTA, are effective and convenient, with low risks of side effects and ectopic pregnancy.

The absence of insurance coverage for LARC device placement postpartum serves as a barrier to the adoption of IUDs. Pregnant women often lose coverage at sixty days postpartum, making it difficult for them to afford the procedure.

However, the efforts have been made by state and federal agencies and healthcare officials to encourage payers to revise the reimbursement systems for immediate postpartum LARC. However, there is still a lack of reimbursement for IUDs, which could hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
