Results from a global study exploring demand for novel forms of Male Contraceptive Technologies and Female Partner Trust.
Outsight4Development, Alstonia Impact, and DesireLine conducted a robust market research study across 7 distinct markets around the world to develop an understanding of the demand for male contraception, men’s interest in and preferences for novel forms of male birth control, and the level of trust that female partners have in their male partners to use birth control. Funding for the male respondent research was supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Male Contraceptive Initiative provided funding to cover female partners of male respondents.
Introduction
The field of contraception has traditionally been dominated by methods designed for use by women. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing effective and safe male contraceptive methods. Male contraception offers several advantages, including improved reproductive control for men and their partners, reduced risk of unintended pregnancy, and increased gender equality in family planning.
The development of male contraceptives has been ongoing for several decades, but progress has been slow, with only a limited number of options currently available. However, recent advances in research and development have led to the emergence of new and promising male contraceptive methods, such as hormonal and non-hormonal options, and innovative delivery systems.
This international market research report aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the global male contraception market. The report will cover various aspects, including market size, growth opportunities, key trends, and challenges faced by the industry. It will also provide an overview of the current male contraceptive methods available, as well as insights into the emerging trends and technologies that are likely to shape the market in the coming years.
The report is intended to be a valuable resource for stakeholders, including manufacturers, policymakers, healthcare providers, and investors, who are interested in the male contraception market. With the growing demand for male contraceptives and the increasing interest from investors and policymakers, this report will help them make informed decisions and stay ahead in this evolving market.

Japneet Kaur, Dhananjay Vaidyanathan Rohini, LinChiat Chang, Allie Gugliotti, Steve Kretschmer, "Assessment of demand for male contraceptives: A multi-country study." Andrology, 2024.
A large-scale cross-sectional survey conducted across seven countries found strong interest in novel male contraceptives, with an average of 61% of men indicating they would try a new method within its first year of availability. Conducted from 2021 to 2023 in six low- and middle-income countries and the U.S., the study assessed contraceptive use, preferences, and perceptions among over 12,000 men and 9,000 female partners. Results showed that men’s preferences were influenced primarily by method of administration and timing, while women across geographies expressed high levels of interest and trust in their male partners’ contraceptive use. These findings point to significant demand and support further investment in the development of novel male contraceptive options.
