Companies in the global fertility services market share have witnessed significant growth in the number of research collaborations as well as research funding approvals. Key companies operating in the market are projected to increase their R&D expenditure to introduce new advanced techniques and drugs used for fertility treatments. For instance, in June 2019, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a research collaboration with Predictive Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group, Inc., concentrating on studying the genetic factors causing infertility in women. The collaboration is expected to utilize Thermo Fisher Scientific’s offerings for reproductive health including Ion ReproSeq PGS Assay, Applied Biosystems CarrierScan Assay, Ion AmpliSeq Exome RDY for whole-exome sequencing, and CytoScan Dx Assay. Furthermore, in March 2019, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based company, announced a collaboration with the Jikei University School of Medicine to develop AI-assisted sperm selection, which aims to reduce the workload in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The research is expected to help embryologists to select good sperm.
The global fertility services market is expected to decline from $17.67 billion in 2019 to $16.95 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -4.08%. The decline is mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak that has led to patients’ preference for deferred care in order to avoid visiting hospitals, which resulted in reduced patient volume. The global fertility services market share is then expected to recover and reach $22.47 billion in 2023 at a CAGR of 9.86%.
Growing infertility rates are anticipated to boost the demand for fertility services during the forecast period. Various social and environment-related factors such as lifestyle changes including obesity, stress or depression, and high consumption of alcohol contribute to a surge in infertility rates, thereby generating the high requirement for fertility services. According to the Indian Journal of Community Medicine, as of 2019, around 15 to 20 million or 25% of couples suffer from infertility annually, thus driving the demand for fertility services in the fertility clinic industry.
The fertility services market consists of sales of infertility treatment services and related products by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide infertility treatment services which are used in various applications to treat infertile patients. Fertility treatment is a medical procedure intended to increase the chances of conceiving a child.
The high cost of fertility services is expected to limit the growth of the fertility services market. The cost of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) primarily depends on infertility workup and varies from person to person. For instance, the average cost of one in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle is $12,000. The range of cost involved in one IVF cycle can be between $10,000 and $15,000, which excludes the cost of medication which may be as low as $1,500 or as high as $3,000 per cycle. The IVF cost is continuously rising attributing to modern diagnostic tests and various treatment methods such as hysteroscopy, IUI, and laparoscopy being used to facilitate and aid infertility treatment cost. Therefore, the high cost of fertility treatment is to act as a major challenge for the development of the fertility services market.
