Major Growth Driving Factors:
Growth in fertility test market is primarily driven by by the increasing first-time pregnancy age in women, declining fertility rate among men and women, growing number of women suffering from disorders such as PCOS, emergence of advanced ovulation monitors, and the increased awareness of fertility testing in both developed as well as developing countries.
Impact of COVID19:
The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a huge challenge for the global fertility test market. In the initial stages of the pandemic, authorities recommended the suspension of all in-person fertility treatments.
For instance, in March 2020, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society announced their recommendations to instantly and for the foreseeable future suspend all in-person fertility treatments in the US and Canada due to COVID-19.
One in six reproductive-aged couples experiences infertility, and many turn to treatments such as IUI and IVF, which require several in-person appointments to complete. Around 3 million people seek infertility treatment in India every year, but only 0.5 million people undergo IVF/Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) procedure.

Challenge: High cost of fertility testing monitors
Price and brand recognition are two important criteria for the adoption of fertility testing kits and monitors across the globe. Being elective and non-reimbursable in nature, the price of a device is a prime determinant for its use. Although advanced branded fertility monitors possess high accuracy in identifying the fertility window, they are priced at a premium due to the high costs involved in maintaining brand loyalty, obtaining regulatory approvals, and incorporating the software in the systems. Owing to the high cost of these fertility monitors, a very limited number of patients in developing countries can afford them. This, in turn, is limiting the acceptance of these products, mainly in developing countries.
