In vitro fertilization is a global market that was worth USD 14.2 billion in 2020. It is expected to increase at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 6.5%) between 2021 and 2028. The market's growth is driven by rising reprotourism and increasing instances of male and female fertility. Globally, infertility is a major concern. The American Pregnancy Association states that male fertility accounts to 30% of all infertility cases. It contributes approximately one-fifth to infertility cases. Market growth will be supported by the increasing dependence on fertility treatments. The availability of funds is driving a rise in in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The Ontario government announced in December 2016 that it would fund IVF treatment for 5,000 women with a fertility program worth USD 50 million. The Singapore government also offers 75% co-funding of various ART procedures such as IVF, Gamete Intrafallopian Transfers (GIFT) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injections (ICSI). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in January 2015 that ICSI use has increased from 36.4% 1996 to around 76.2% 2012.
Techniques such as Testicular Sperm Extraction and TESE are being used to increase IVF success rates. An Australian scientist created an Artificial Intelligence tool, called Ivy, to identify the embryo that has the highest chance of becoming pregnant. These technologies increase the success rate for IVF pregnancies.
Pandemic Impact |
Outlook after COVID |
Globally, IVF procedures have been slowed down by mass closures of IVF centres and terminations of elective procedures in hospitals. |
The market will stabilize and resume its growth rate. Clinics and hospitals have resumed with safety measures in place and written consent from patients. |
Comparable to the previous projection of USD 20 Billion in 2020, the IVF market fell to USD 14 Billion between 2019 and 2020. |
Due to travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19 waves in emerging countries, the number of people who are interested in fertilization treatment in other parts of the world will decrease in the coming years. |
The COVID-19 pandemic caused fertility treatments to be suspended. This affected women psychologically and their treatments were canceled. A study by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine found that 62% of participants wanted to start treatment in October 2020 after the COVID-19 restrictions were removed. With certain guidelines, treatment centers can now resume their treatments. The Human Fertilization & Embryology Authority allowed treatment to resume in June 2020. Individuals infected by COVID-19 must wait 28 days after their recovery before initiating treatment.
In vitro fertilization instruments include culture media, capital equipment and disposable IVF devices. In 2020, the market was dominated by culture media with a 41% revenue share. The market's growth can be attributed to factors such as increased funding and research to improve culture media. To meet regulatory and sterility requirements, disposable devices will likely see the fastest growth in the future as the industry introduces disposable devices such as slides and chambers.
CrossBay Medical Inc. was approved by the FDA in May 2017 for its CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer set. It has been approved for commercialization in Europe and China. These developments will increase disposable IVF devices' adoption. Recent innovations include disposable slides for sperm count, an imaging-based tracking system that isolates the best motile and disposable microchips.
In 2020, the global market was led by the frozen non-donor segment. This segment was responsible for more than 47% of the total revenue in 2020. In 2020, the second highest revenue share was attributed to the fresh non-donor segment. This segment is a result of the higher success rate at the first attempt.
The procedure is able to be done even in complex cases. This segment will also witness the fastest CAGR between 2021 and 2028. This type of IVF can be used for patients with Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The global IVF market is segmented by type into fresh donor, frozen donor, fresh donor and frozen donor.
In 2020, the fertility clinics market accounted for 79% of the total global market revenue. This segment will likely retain its dominant market position through the forecast period, growing at the fastest CAGR between 2021 and 2028. The number of fertility centers and clinics is on the rise due to increased demand for ART treatments. The growth of fertility clinics is expected to be driven by factors such as cost-effectiveness, accessibility of specialists, minimal or no chance of Hospital-Acquired Infections. Hospitals can also perform IVF treatments.
Many multispecialty hospitals offer IVF and infertility treatment. Hospitals for infertility treatment are more popular due to their accessibility and greater availability. Hospitals offer IVF treatments that are typically more expensive than those offered by fertility clinics. Highly skilled staff and physicians are required for IVF treatment. It is not a good idea to have IVF staff dedicated to hospitals. Because hospitals are a small segment of the overall market, they have high costs for training, employment, and remuneration.
With a more than 37% revenue share in 2020, Europe was the dominant market. The growth of the regional market will be driven by factors such as the rise in medical tourism and legal changes related to IVF techniques. A growing number of Americans are visiting the Czech Republic to receive IVF treatments at lower prices. According to an ESHRE factsheet, January 2017 saw some reimbursement for ART in nearly all EU member countries (except Lithuania and Ireland).
From 2021 to 2028, the market in Asia Pacific will experience the highest CAGR. Due to awareness campaigns, changes in regulatory landscapes, and fertility tourism, the demand for IVF treatment in Asia Pacific is expected to rise.
Market players have adopted key strategies such as geographic expansion, mergers, product innovation & commercialization. In July 2019, Prime Tech and Vitrolife entered into a partnership agreement to market and design the Piezo technique for improved Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injections (ICSI) in human IVF worldwide, except for Thailand, Japan and Malaysia.
