IVF Devices and Consumables Market Research Report: By Product (Accessories and Disposables, Reagents and Media, Instruments), Technique (Fresh Embryo IVF, Frozen Embryo IVF, Donor Egg IVF), End User (Fertility Clinics, Hospitals, Surgical Centers, Clinical Research Institutes)- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends and Forecast to 2023

The global in vitro fertilization (IVF) devices and consumables market was valued at $1.6 billion in 2016, which is expected to reach $5.0 billion by 2023, progressing at a CAGR of 17.9% during the forecast period (2017–2023).

The market is expected to witness the fastest growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, registering a CAGR of 20.4%. Several country-level markets in the APAC region have a huge potential for growth, owing to the less technological advancements, which are providing opportunities to the key market players to expand their business.

Factors Governing IVF Devices and Consumables Market

The trend of delaying the pregnancy has steadily increased globally, thus driving the IVF devices and consumables market forward. In women aged 40 years and above, the reproductive eggs are less suitable for fertilization with male spermatozoa, which can increase the risk of genetic disorders in the fertilized egg. As the age of women increases, the ability of their reproductive system to produce healthy eggs declines, and this can result in an increased risk of genetic disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of first pregnancy in the age group of 35–39 has increased for all races and Hispanic-origin groups from 1990 to 2000. Moreover, the first birth rate for women aged 35–39 rose 40% or more in eight states and federal districts of the U.S., such as Columbia, New York, and North Dakota, from 2000 to 2012. During this same time period, the first birth rate of women aged 35–39 increased from 30% to 39.9% in 9 states and from 20% to 29.9% in 21 states.

Further, the growing infertility rate drives the IVF devices and consumables market, as it affects one in four couples in developing nations. Statistics by the World Bank suggest that the total fertility rate has reduced over the years, from 4.7 in 1970 to nearly 2.4 in 2015. This increasing infertility rate can be attributed to numerous lifestyle habits that have an effect on an individual's reproductive health. For instance, smoking reduces the chances of pregnancy by 50% in women. The rise of infertility rates is not only due to lifestyle changes, but also various diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and certain fertility-related diseases.

Fertility tourism provides steady prospects for the growth of the IVF devices and consumables market. Such activities have a positive impact on the economy of developing countries and also benefit the patients, as treatment prices are lower here as compared to developed countries. For instance, the cost of one IVF cycle in North America is $10,000–$15,000, and in Thailand, the treatment costs roughly $6,059; hence, patients opt for the low-cost-fertility-treatment destinations, which boosts the market in regions such as APAC.

IVF Devices and Consumables Market Segmentation Analysis

Instruments are expected to be the fastest-growing product category, mainly driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for time-efficient procedures and easy-to-use equipment. Further, among these instruments, cabinets are projected to be the highest shareholder throughout the analysis period (2016–2023).

The fresh-embryo IVF technique category acquired the largest share in the IVF devices and consumables market in 2016, attributable to the trend of delayed pregnancies and growing infertility rate.

The market in the surgical centers end-user category is projected to grow with the highest CAGR, of 24.3%, during the forecast period.
