Female Infertility Market

Market Overview:

The 7 major female infertility markets reached a value of US$ 2.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 2.7 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.76% during 2024-2034.

The female infertility market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Female Infertility Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Female infertility refers to a medical condition in which a woman is unable to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse or carry a pregnancy to term. The disorder often does not present itself with specific symptoms, and most women suffering from infertility do not experience any noticeable signs. However, some possible indications may include irregular or absent menstrual cycles, abnormal bleeding, pain or discomfort during intercourse, hormonal imbalances leading to acne or excessive hair growth, recurrent miscarriages, symptoms related to conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), etc. The diagnosis of female infertility involves a comprehensive evaluation performed by a fertility specialist or reproductive endocrinologist. The process typically begins with a thorough medical history review, such as discussions about menstrual cycles, previous pregnancies, any underlying health conditions, etc. Various diagnostic procedures may include blood tests to assess hormone levels and ovarian function, imaging studies like pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the reproductive organs, and other tests to examine ovulation and egg quality. In addition to this, numerous assessments, such as hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy, may be conducted to check the fallopian tubes.

The increasing cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypothalamic dysfunction, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), etc., that can disrupt normal ovulation are primarily driving the female infertility market. In addition to this, the rising incidence of several associated risk factors, including uterine abnormalities, pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockages, genetic disorders, etc., is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the escalating utilization of hormone therapy to treat hormonal imbalances as it aids in stimulating ovulation, enhancing follicle development, and supporting endometrial preparation for embryo implantation is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the shifting preferences towards in-vitro maturation (IVM) over traditional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) since IVM eliminates the need for ovarian stimulation, thereby reducing the likelihood of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and offering a less invasive approach to fertility treatment, are further bolstering the market growth. Additionally, the ongoing advancements in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), such as the introduction of PGT-A (aneuploidy screening), which helps in identifying embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, thus improving the chances of successful implantation and lowering the risk of miscarriage, are expected to drive the female infertility market during the forecast period.

IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the female infertility market in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, and France), United Kingdom, and Japan.

This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the female infertility market in any manner.

Key Highlights:

• Infertility is expected to afflict 75.8 million women worldwide.
• Every year, around 3 million assisted reproduction procedures, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), are conducted.
• Smokers are 60% more vulnerable to being infertile than nonsmokers.
• Twelve percent of all infertility instances are caused by a woman being either underweight or overweight.
• Infertile women are much more likely to acquire ovarian cancer than the overall population.

Drugs:

Menopur injections are used to treat infertility in women. It promotes the regular development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ) and accelerates the release of a healthy, mature egg. This helps to cure infertility in women and raises the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. It is taken with an injection by a physician or nurse and should not be self-administered.

OVITRELLE/OVIDREL refers to the recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) in a pre-filled pen. It is recommended to treat women undergoing superovulation before assisted reproductive procedures, such as in vitro fertilization, to promote final follicular maturation and luteinization after stimulating follicular growth.

OXO-001 is a first-in-class oral non-hormonal medication for infertile women that improves embryo implantation and pregnancy rates.
