Global donor egg IVF (in-vitro fertilization) market growth is driven by factors such as surging infertility rates, rising number of couples opting for IVF treatment due to changing lifestyles, and growing acceptance of surrogacy. Furthermore, technological advancements in fertility treatment such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis can improve IVF success rates and meet the growing need of families desiring a biological child.

Increasing success rates of IVF treatments

The success rates of IVF treatments using donor eggs have increased substantially over the past decade. Advancements in assisted reproductive technologies and better understanding of the IVF process have led to significant improvements. Doctors can now monitor and support the growth and development of embryos more effectively outside the body. Success rates for women under 35 years of age using donor eggs are around 60-65% per IVF cycle. This is nearly double the rate from 10 years ago. The high odds of achieving a successful pregnancy encourages more women to opt for donor egg IVF.

Refined laboratory techniques allow for careful screening and selection of healthy eggs from young donors. The selected eggs can be fertilized using intracytoplasmic sperm injection, if required. This optimizes the chances of fertilization. Advanced embryo culture methods help sustain embryo growth in conditions mimicking the uterine environment. Close monitoring of embryonic development aid doctors to select the most viable embryos for transfer. Minimal ovarian stimulation protocols for donors cause less harm. These improvements have resulted in fewer cancellations and higher pregnancy rates per egg retrieval.

As word spreads of others successfully conceiving after multiple failed IVF cycles using their own eggs, there has been growth in perception of donor egg IVF as a viable last option. For instance, in March 2024, according to the data published by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HEFA), the U.K.'s fertility treatment has witnessed significant advancements, with over 1.3 million IVF cycles and 260,000 donor insemination cycles performed since 1991, leading to the birth of 390,000 babies. HFEA's 30th anniversary report highlights that IVF cycles had increased from 6,700 in 1991 to over 69,000 in 2019. Birth rates have improved, particularly for patients under age of 43 years, and the multiple birth rate dropped to a record low of 6% in 2019. There has been rise in IVF treatments for patients over age of 40 years, reflecting changing family structures and increased options for creating families.

Growing acceptance of infertility treatment

Attitudes towards infertility and its medical management have evolved tremendously in the past two decades. Both men and women now approach infertility diagnosis and treatment more openly without social pressures or stigma. The advent of assistive reproductive techniques has normalized the concept of conceiving with medical help. Greater advocacy and public conversations have fostered wider social support networks for those struggling with fertility issues. Growing public awareness about infertility as a medical challenge, not a personal failing, boosts treatment-seeking behavior.

Changing social values also endorse diverse family formations through assisted reproduction using donor gametes or surrogacy. More countries are legalizing and regulating these options to fulfil parenthood dreams. Same sex couples, single parents and older women are openly choosing these non-traditional routes to build their families. Their voices further normalize discussions around third party assisted concepts like donor conception. Heightened media presence of famous faces sharing their fertility journeys adds another layer of acceptance.

More women are delaying starting families to focus on careers. But these women still aspire for motherhood later in life when natural fertility has declined. This boosts demand for proven solutions like donor egg IVF. Younger fertile women are also inclined to help others through altruistic donation programs. These emerging social trends can boost growth and awareness around infertility treatments globally.
