Ovulation-inducing drugs are medications used to stimulate the ovaries and facilitate the release of mature eggs (ovulation) in women facing challenges with their menstrual cycles or struggling with infertility. These drugs exert their effects on the hormonal balance in the body, specifically targeting the hormones involved in the ovulation process.
The primary types of ovulation-inducing drugs include hormones and therapeutic drugs. Hormone drugs are medications designed to modify or mimic the effects of naturally occurring hormones in the body. They can be administered through oral, topical, and other routes and are utilized by various end-users, including hospitals, homecare, specialty clinics, and others.

Major trends in the forecast period include personalized treatment approaches, advancements in reproductive endocrinology, non-invasive fertility monitoring, rising demand for assisted reproductive technologies, development of novel drug formulations.
The rising prevalence of infertility among women is expected to drive the growth of the ovulation-inducing drug market. Women's infertility is defined as the biological condition where a woman is unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after engaging in regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for an extended period, typically a year or more. Ovulation-inducing drugs are utilized to treat infertility in women by addressing issues related to irregular or absent ovulation. These medications target the hormonal pathways involved in the ovulation process, stimulating the ovaries to release mature eggs. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US government agency, in 2022, approximately 6.1 million women aged 15 to 44 in the US faced challenges in becoming pregnant, representing about 10% of all women. Additionally, as reported in June 2022 by CCRM Management Company LLC, a US-based medical management firm, infertility impacts 1 in 4 couples globally on average, with an annual increase of 5% to 10%. Thus, the growing prevalence of women's infertility is propelling the growth of the ovulation-inducing drug market.
The increasing number of patients choosing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is anticipated to drive the growth of the ovulation-inducing drugs market in the coming years. IVF is a complex set of procedures designed to assist individuals and couples experiencing fertility issues in achieving pregnancy. The IVF protocols utilize ovulation-inducing drugs to stimulate the ovaries, leading to the production of multiple eggs for retrieval. These medications are integral to the IVF process, enhancing the likelihood of successful outcomes. For example, in April 2024, The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, a US-based organization representing doctors and laboratory scientists, reported a significant rise in egg-freezing cycles, which increased from 24,560 the previous year to 29,803 in 2022. Consequently, the growing number of patients opting for IVF is fueling the expansion of the ovulation-inducing drugs market.
Major companies in the ovulation-inducing drugs market are proactively developing innovative drugs such as Cetrorelix acetate to secure approvals for treating women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation. Cetrorelix acetate for injection, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, has gained FDA approval, demonstrating its efficacy in preventing premature ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). In August 2022, Akorn Operating Company LLC received FDA approval for a generic version of cetrorelix acetate for injection, marking a significant advancement in fertility treatment. This development is aligned with the ongoing efforts of pharmaceutical companies, such as Akorn, to address infertility through innovative drugs.
In February 2024, Novo Holdings, a Denmark-based life sciences company, acquired Catalent Inc. for $16.5 billion. This acquisition is intended to bolster Novo Holdings' presence in the life sciences sector by utilizing Catalent's advanced capabilities in drug development, manufacturing, and delivery.
