Infertility Drugs Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Infertility Drugs Market Analysis

The Infertility Drugs Market size is estimated at USD 3.98 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.36 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Factors such as the increasing global prevalence of stress and lifestyle-related disorders among men and women, the rise in healthcare awareness, and the increasingly aging female population are expected to boost the Infertility Treatment Market growth.

Infertility continues to pose a global health challenge owing to demographic shifts and continuous lifestyle problems, including obesity, anxiety, and stress, that cause delayed childbearing. For instance, according to the data published by Alcoholic Beverage Consumption Statistics in February 2023, about 63% of adults in the United States aged 18 years or older drank alcohol in 2022, impacting Infertility Rates by Country. Furthermore, according to the data published by the Australian Institutes of Health and Welfare in February 2024, about 6.6 million people consumed alcohol at risky levels during 2022-2023, the same as the number of people in the previous year. Thus, high consumption of alcohol leads to an increase in infertility rates among individuals, which is expected to boost the Infertility Drugs Market growth over the forecast period.

As per the data published in Alcohol Consumption Statistics United Kingdom in February 2023, 12.5% of adults in the United Kingdom reported being teetotal, compared to the country's adult alcohol consumption rate of 71.2% who drank at least once a week. Thus, the high consumption of alcohol affects fertility in males and females. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the demand for infertility drugs, thereby propelling the Infertility Therapies Market over the forecast period.

The prevalence of poor fertility among the population is also the key factor driving Infertility Market growth. For instance, according to an article published by the National Library of Medicine in July 2022, about 15% of American couples and at least 180 million other people worldwide were diagnosed with infertility. It is estimated that 9% of Australian men and 8% to 12% of Eastern European men experience infertility issues. Thus, the high prevalence of infertility among the male population is expected to increase the demand for effective drugs, thereby propelling the Infertility Solutions Market.

Furthermore, governments and organizations are increasingly focusing on launching various campaigns to raise awareness regarding fertility care and treatment. For instance, in July 2022, Oasis Fertility launched the Infertility Knows No Gender campaign to commemorate World IVF Day. IVF offers a ray of hope to millions of couples struggling with infertility. In April 2022, Walgreens launched a fertility awareness campaign in support of National Infertility Awareness Week. Such initiatives are anticipated to raise the demand for IVF treatment, fueling Fertility Treatments Market growth over the forecast period.

Therefore, the market studied is expected to grow over the forecast period due to the factors above, such as the high prevalence of poor fertility, increasing sedentary lifestyle, and a growing number of awareness campaigns. However, the stringent regulatory framework for drug approval is expected to impede the growth of the Infertility Drugs Market over the forecast period.
