DATA & TOOLS
Landscape and Projection of Reproductive Health Supply Needs (LEAP)
Public Access
LEAP provides an interactive view of estimated future use and cost of reproductive health supplies in four key health areas—contraception, menstrual health, abortion and postabortion care, and maternal health.
On this page:
Future Estimates and Scenarios
LEAP examines how the use and costs of supplies will change going forward—across countries, regions, sectors, income groups, and SRH product types.
Contraceptive Supplies
This view provides estimates of users, methods, and costs for selected countries and regions, and it models future scenarios assessing public-sector and private-sector shifts.
Menstrual Health Supplies
This view provides estimates of the number of menstruators, the methods they use, and related costs for the selected country or region.
Maternal Health Supplies
This view provides estimates of the regional need, use, and associated cost of 10 priority maternal health drugs, including heat-stable carbetocin, tranexamic acid, and multiple micronutrient supplementation.
Abortion and Postabortion Care
This view provides estimates on a regional basis of the number of abortion and postabortion care services provided and the associated supply costs.
Key Features
Get a comprehensive snapshot of reproductive health supply needs across all four key health areas. This feature brings together key insights, trends, and projections into one clear, high-level view.
Explore data across the full set of low- and middle-income countries and compare results across the three country-level income groups (low, lower-middle, and upper-middle).
Compare reproductive health supply needs estimates across countries and regions. Users can explore by income level, geography, and health area.
Drill down into individual product categories (e.g., contraceptives, menstrual supplies, maternal supplements) to analyze usage trends, cost variations, and projected demand over time.
What’s New in LEAP?
Building on the approach developed and refined for the prior Contraceptive Commodity Gap Analysis and LEAP Report, LEAP 2024 draws on a range of data sources to estimate use and cost of reproductive health supplies in low- and middle-income countries. LEAP continues the analysis of commodities for the four reproductive health areas: contraceptive supplies, menstrual health, abortion and postabortion care, and maternal health.

Four Unique Stories, One Big Picture
While the four health areas are unique, we can present similar results for each: what services or supplies people use, the quantity of supplies needed, and the cost of these supplies. For each health area, we start by exploring current use and cost, then project potential changes from 2023 to 2035. Our exploration projects three different future scenarios for each health area—a first scenario that assumes that the status quo is maintained until 2035, then two scenarios that explore different potential changes relevant to each area.
While we present results separately for each of the four health areas, the estimates for each are interrelated, as shown in the visual below. These interrelationships have been considered in the future scenarios included within LEAP.
What the Users Say
LEAP is being used by supply chain professionals, donors, civil society organizations, and more!
-
“LEAP data was very useful as part of our work on menstrual health, in particular in understanding the share of menstruators using purpose-made products and finding untapped market potential for reusables.”
Jeanne Charbit
Hystra
-
“We need a transformative approach to menstrual health, grounded in evidence and data, and LEAP is invaluable in estimating future use and costs of menstrual health supplies and shaping strategies.”
Trine Angeline Sig
Real Relief
-
“LEAP is the only tool we know of which combines all the main contraceptives in one report and it is also free. It helps us determine strategies – an eye opener for donors looking for trends.”
