Female infertility is defined as the inability of a woman to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse (or 6 months for women aged 35 or older) or the inability to sustain a pregnancy. It is a multifactorial condition that results from various factors affecting the reproductive system.
The main treatments for female infertility include clomiphene citrate, gonadotropins, metformin, letrozole, and bromocriptine. Clomiphene citrate is commonly prescribed to stimulate ovulation in women with infertility. It can be administered in various forms, such as oral, parenteral, and others, and is available through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The female infertility market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides female infertility market statistics, including female infertility industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a female infertility market share, detailed female infertility market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the female infertility industry. This female infertility market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The female infertility market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.79 billion in 2024 to $1.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing trend of women delaying childbirth, increasing changes in lifestyle, increasing government initiatives, rising aging population, increasing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment.
The female infertility market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising awareness of fertility issues, increasing cases of polycystic ovary syndrome, rising cases of uterine abnormalities, rising incidence of genetic disorders, increasing obesity. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in preimplantation genetic testing, technological advancement, novel technologies for diagnosis, fertility preservation, and telemedicine.
The forecast of 4.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for the U.S. by restricting access to advanced hysteroscopy equipment and ovulation induction drugs imported from Germany and Israel, potentially prolonging conception timelines and increasing reproductive endocrinology costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing prevalence of infertility is expected to fuel the expansion of the female infertility market in the coming years. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. The rise in infertility is influenced by factors such as delayed childbearing, lifestyle changes, environmental toxins, increasing obesity rates, and higher stress levels. Treatment for female infertility is necessary to address and manage the underlying medical, hormonal, or structural issues that hinder fertility, improving the chances of conception and preventing permanent infertility. For example, in July 2024, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, a UK-based public body under the Department of Health and Social Care, reported that licensed fertility clinics in the UK conducted nearly 77,000 fresh and frozen embryo transfer IVF cycles for 52,500 patients in 2022. More than 90% of these patients received treatment with a partner, involving around 100,000 individuals. As a result, the rising prevalence of infertility is driving the growth of the female infertility market.
Key companies in the female infertility market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as non-invasive diagnostic tests, to gain a competitive advantage. A non-invasive diagnostic test is a medical examination that detects conditions or diseases without the need for surgery or penetration of the body. For example, in August 2024, Heranova Lifesciences, a biotech company based in the US, introduced an early access program for HerResolve, a non-invasive diagnostic test designed for endometriosis. Endometriosis affects around 200 million women globally, causing symptoms such as infertility, pain, and bleeding. For many women, an accurate diagnosis takes an average of 7 to 10 years from the onset of symptoms, largely due to the diverse nature of symptoms and the invasive procedure required for the most reliable diagnostic method, exploratory laparoscopic surgery. HerResolve has the potential to reduce this diagnostic delay from years to months, improving patient and healthcare outcomes. The goal of HerResolve is to significantly shorten this timeline, enhancing patient care and results.
In April 2023, CCRM Fertility, a network of fertility clinics based in the US, acquired the New Hope Center for Reproductive Medicine for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows CCRM to expand its fertility services on the East Coast, providing greater access to high-quality fertility care, advanced testing, state-of-the-art laboratories, and in-house genetics and research, all contributing to leading success rates. The New Hope Center for Reproductive Medicine, also based in the US, is a fertility clinic offering a variety of services, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) to address female infertility.
