Shorter waiting times and increased accessibility to clinics and specialists are highly valued by patients seeking timely treatment, and considerations for privacy and confidentiality are also considered.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Demand For Fertility Treatments
Infertility burden drives global demand for fertility treatments. According to the World Health Organization, in June 2022, approximately 60 to 80 million couples globally face infertility challenges, with Southern and Eastern Europe as well as East Asia exhibiting some of the lowest fertility rates, averaging at 1.5 children per woman. Additionally, it is estimated that 1 in 4 couples in developing countries experience difficulties conceiving. Over the years, assisted reproductive technology (ART) has seen an annual increase of 5.0% to 10.0% based on available data.
Growing Awareness of Fertility Treatments
The utilization of advanced medical technology and specialized medical expertise attracts patients globally. For instance, in February 2023, Bumrungrad International Hospital launched a Fertility Center & IVF Clinic to address the issue of infertility in Thailand. The clinic offers holistic reproductive care, including consultations and assisted technology, to help families conceive. The clinic additionally provides a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) team to ensure healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. The hospital recognizes the importance of building a family and is committed to addressing the population decline problem.

- Based on age group, the market is segmented into below 28 years, 28-34 years, and above 35 years.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Services Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
The primary factor supporting the segment's growth includes the growing efficiency of IVF with technological improvements and ongoing treatment protocol innovations. According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), in March 2024, the UK fertility regulator HFEA reported over 1.3 million IVF and 260,000 DI cycles have been performed since 1991, resulting in 390,000 babies. Advances in technology and treatment have improved birth rates for patients under 43, with the multiple birth rate at its lowest ever at 6.0% in 2019, exceeding the HFEA target of 10%.
Regional Outlook

Growing Compatibility of Language And Culture In Europe Region
International fertility clinics provide multilingual staff and culturally sensitive care, rendering the environment acceptable to patients seeking treatment internationally. For instance, in July 2023, Béa Fertility offered an at-home fertility kit for those seeking an alternative to IVF and IUI procedures. The kit allows users to perform intracervical insemination without hormone injections. It includes ovulation and pregnancy tests, a fertility library, a treatment app, and live support. The company raised £2.5 million ($3.2 million) for its UK launch, with a three-month treatment costing £700 ($885.4 million), one-twentieth of IVF treatment.
Fertility Tourism Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share
The availability of legal and regulatory environments on fertility treatments and third-party reproduction in specific countries such as India, and China motivates individuals to seek treatment overseas. For instance, in October 2020, Nova IVF Fertility launched a new state-of-the-art IVF center in Patna. With a legacy spanning 10 yrs in the field of assisted reproductive therapy & over 35000 IVF pregnancies, Nova IVF brings in the most advanced fertility treatment to Eastern India. The center offers a range of fertility solutions, including IVF Specialists, trained embryologists, and a modern Embryology Lab, all backed by global standards and protocols. Further, in July 2023, Victoria opened Australia's first public egg and sperm bank, offering free donations to eligible Victorians. The bank, located at the Royal Women's Hospital, is part of a $120.0 million initiative that includes public fertility services, IVF treatments, diagnostic tests, and counseling. Additionally, the program enables Victorians to receive medical treatment to preserve the course of sperm or eggs.
