Furthermore, delayed pregnancies and recent innovations in the IVF technology, such as embryoscope and capsule IVF would supplement the market growth. Active government initiatives for LGBT marriages, development of cost-effective IVF procedures and the popularity of fertility tourism is expected to further boost the market growth. However, legal and ethical issues related to IVF treatments, lack of awareness among patients in developing economies, and high costs of IVF devices would limit the market growth.

Capital equipment, such as micromanipulator, IVF cabinets, incubators, and imaging system used in the IVF procedures accounts for the highest share i.e. around 75% in the IVF devices segment. This is attributed to the long shelf-life and high cost related to capital equipment during the IVF procedures.

Geographically, Europe would continue to maintain its lead position, owing to the heavy investments made by companies, high affordability, and increasing demand for IVF procedures. This region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% due to the sophisticated and cost-effective hospitality services and availability of skilled work forces.
