The global infertility treatments market size is experiencing significant growth, and is expected to reach USD 3.28 billion by 2033. This expansion is driven by a multitude of factors, including rising infertility, advances in equipment and technology, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI).
Rising infertility is driving demand
A significant factor behind this staggering market growth is the rise in global infertility rates. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about one in six people worldwide have experienced infertility at some point in their lives. Lifestyle factors, such as delaying parenthood and environmental concerns contribute to this rise.
The study, published by Towards Healthcare, highlights how the growing number of couples facing infertility fueled the expansion of the entire market. The increase in infertility cases creates a greater need for solutions that help people build a family. Clinics are stepping up by offering more services, and new and improved assisted reproductive technologies are emerging in response to this trend. Additionally, increased awareness about infertility and available treatments is empowering more people to actively seek solutions, further propelling market growth.
Advances in technology and the integration of AI
The market continues to benefit from advances in medical technology. The constant development of more effective and accessible ART procedures, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and higher success rates, encourage more individuals to seek fertility treatment.
The use of AI is also shaping fertility treatment – and the market. The integration of AI into sperm analysis systems is revolutionizing the way specialists select the best sperm for fertilization, further enhancing treatment efficacy. The study highlights how the global AI in medical coding market size was projected at USD 2.06 billion in 2022 to reach around USD 7.15 billion by 2032, staggering a CAGR of 13.3% between 2023 and 2032.
Equipment holds substantive share of the fertility market
Equipment made up the majority of the market in 2023, with a commanding 55% share. This segment encompasses the vital tools employed by fertility clinics to provide fertility care, and perform assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures and diagnostic tests with precision and accuracy.
