In-Vitro Fertilization Market Report, Global Market Share, Trend Analysis & Forecast

In-vitro fertilization is a process of fertilization, used to treat fertility or genetic problems and assist with conception of child. In this process, an egg is combined with the sperm and fertilized in a lab. It is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The success rate of the procedure depends on numerous factors including maternal age, cause of infertility, embryo status, reproductive history and lifestyle factors. IVF success rates have been increasing since its conception, owing to increasing research and technological advances.  Presently, numerous research institutes and medical centers are capitalizing in R&D activities to improve the procedural efficiency and fertilization results. Besides, various government initiatives to lower the treatment cost are being undertaken to increase the adoption rate of IVF services. 

In Vitro Fertilization Market Dynamics

The global In-vitro fertilization market is primarily driven by increasing incidences of infertility among male and female across the globe, decreasing fertility rate, rising male infertility, rise in consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, increasing awareness about in-vitro fertilization process and technologies. Growing prevalence of infertility will substantially impact in-vitro fertilization market growth in coming years. As indicated by, National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 8-12% of couples face issues such as infertility and impaired fecundity. Various factors including changing lifestyles, late childbearing, and heredity are the major risk factors that lead to infertility. Therefore, increasing risk factors coupled with growing acceptance of IVF procedures will lead in vitro fertilization market expansion over the forecast period.

Additionally, increasing government initiatives and flexible government regulation to promote IVF treatments are backing the grow of In-Vitro fertilization market. However, factors hindering the growth of in-vitro fertilization market growth includes excessive cost associated with the treatment and change in government regulation with respect to various countries.
