Global In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Market

In-Vitro Fertilization is a process to fertilize the egg and the sperm outside the body in a lab inside a glass (in-vitro). The need for In-Vitro Fertilization in modern day is due to the mutating genes of the human body due to many factors that have begun to affect the health of the general population. The factors that can be thought of as such are pollution, stress, junk food and no proper pattern for sleep. In a nutshell, this can be called as a lifestyle change and modern-day culture that can be avoided but are inevitable in the long run. The lack of physical activity restricts the growth of sperms and eggs respectively in both the males and females. All in all, the body tends to lean towards infertility and you can’t blame any particular sex (male/female) in that. Countries that are yet emerging but have an ancient culture of shaming a woman for the infertility is one reason that makes the market to grow. Lack of sexual knowledge and practice of unnatural sex coupled with sexual accidents has also lead to the growth of the market. 

Global In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Market

In-Vitro Fertilization process is done by extracting the egg from the female body and inserting the sperm into the egg in a liquid and a controlled environment. Then the zygote (fertilized egg) is matured externally for 2-6 days before being planted in the uterus of the female; all of this while reciprocating the environment for the zygote that simulates the interior of the uterus. The process is not that complicated in today’s date but was amongst the complicated in those days. There fertilized egg can be planted in a surrogate womb which may not need to be biologically related. 

The cost for the process discussed above does not come easy on the pockets and are on an exorbitant rate for the common man’s value for the emerging economies across the globe. The cost is on a higher side which averages to ~$12,000 which may be to a maximum of ~$15,000 and ~$10,000 minimum. This IVF cost cycle does not include the medication that is prescribed during the ongoing process which cumulates to ~$1,500-$2,000. The In-Vitro Fertilization cost may not be that exorbitant when it comes to the emerging countries but in any circumstance, the common man can’t afford its expense. This may be a restraining factor in emerging countries due to the aforementioned reasons.

This has made the In-Vitro Fertilization market grow with a significant rate in the emerging economies.
