Fertility Services Market Size and Forecast, Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Procedure, Patient Type, End User, and Geography

According to our new research study on "Fertility Services Market Forecast to 2031 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Procedure, Patient Type, End User," the market is anticipated to grow from US$ 32.99 billion in 2023 to US$ 67.12 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 9.3% during 2023-2031. Market growth is attributed to the growing social and environmental factors and increasing prevalence of gynecological conditions. Growing technological advancements in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process are likely to provide growth opportunities for the fertility services market. However, high costs associated with fertility services hinder the growth of the hyperbaric oxygen therapy market.

Treatments for genetic disorders and infertility problems are part of fertility services to aid conception. The development of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF), is one of the most significant developments in the fertility services market. These techniques have revolutionized reproductive medicine by making conceiving an embryo outside the body possible, thereby increasing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. Other advances include pre-implantation genetic testing, embryo cryopreservation, and egg freezing, providing additional options for couples and individuals pursuing fertility treatments.

Asia Pacific accounted for a major share of the global fertility services market in 2023. The Asia Pacific fertility services market is segmented into the China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, rest of Asia Pacific. The introduction and rapid distribution of several infertility drugs drive the market growth in this region.

Furthermore, the US held the largest share of the North American market. Changing lifestyles with increasing trends of unhealthy diets leading to infertility and gynecological disorders in men and women are responsible for the market growth.

Growing Technological Advancements in In-Vito Fertilization (IVF) Process Fuels the Fertility Services Market Growth Opportunities

Recent advances in IVF technology are changing the landscape of fertility treatment. From genetic screening to time-lapse imaging of embryos to artificial intelligence and improved culture media, these innovations offer hope for couples struggling with infertility. These advances represent cutting-edge technologies and techniques transforming the field of in vitro fertilization, increasing success rates, and improving the overall patient experience.

AdvancementExplanation

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)PGT allows for the screening of embryos to identify genetic abnormalities before implantation, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy by selecting healthy embryos.

Time-lapse Embryo ImagingContinuous monitoring of embryo development using time-lapse technology allows for better embryo selection based on growth patterns and milestones, improving IVF success rates.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine LearningAI and machine learning analyze patient data and embryonic development to provide personalized treatment recommendations, optimizing IVF outcomes.

Ovarian Tissue CryopreservationThis technology enables the freezing and preservation of ovarian tissue, containing viable eggs, for women undergoing cancer treatment or other medical procedures that affects fertility.

Improved Culture MediaAdvanced culture media formulations create an ideal environment for embryo development in the lab, leading to higher embryo quality and better IVF success rates.

Egg Freezing TechniquesVitrification, a rapid freezing method, has improved egg-freezing success rates, giving women more options for preserving their fertility.

Single Embryo Transfer (SET)Reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies, SET involves transferring a single carefully selected embryo, maintaining high success rates while minimizing complications.

Further, large companies operating in the fertility services market are developing new technologies to optimize IVF and thus gain a competitive advantage. In October 2022, a US-based medical device manufacturer, Alife Health, launched the Alife Assist platform, a range of products designed to revolutionize IVF by leveraging data-driven insights and artificial intelligence (AI). The platform helps in supporting clinical decision-making during key IVF phases and streamline fertility clinic operations. This innovative platform, consisting of Stim Assist, Embryo Assist, and Insights, provides comprehensive support to reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, and clinic administrators to improve embryo grading, drug dosing, and real-time performance monitoring, ultimately improving patient experience and IVF success rates. Such advancements are expected to provide opportunities for the market growth in future.
