Global Human Reproductive Technologies Market– Drivers

Increasing prevalence of maternal mortality

Increasing prevalence of maternal mortality is expected to boost growth of the global human reproductive technologies market over the forecast period. For instance, On February 22 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), every day in 2020, almost 800 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth, and about 287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020. Almost 95% of all maternal deaths occurred in low and lower middle-income countries, such as Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia in 2020.

Increase prevalence of infertility

Increasing prevalence of Infertility is expected to drive the global human reproductive technologies market over the forecast period. For instance, on April 04, 2023, according to WHO, around 17.5% of the adult population– roughly 1 in 6 worldwide, experience infertility, showing the urgent need to increase access to affordable, and high-quality fertility care and lifetime prevalence was 17.8% in high-income countries, such as U.S. and 16.5% in low- and middle-income countries, such as Southern Asia.

Global Human Reproductive Technologies Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global human reproductive technologies market over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 42.5% of the market share. The North America human reproductive technologies market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by factors, such as the increasing prevalence of maternal mortality and decreasing birth rate.  Thus, the rise in human reproductive technologies market growth over the forecast period. For instance, on March 16, 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2021, 1,205 women died of maternal causes in the U.S. compared with 861 in 2020 and the maternal mortality rate for 2021 was 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 23.8 in 2020.

 Global Human Reproductive Technologies Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global human reproductive technologies market owing to the reduced patients visiting the health care centers at a reduced market rate due to fewer demands. For instance, on April 11 2023, according to an article published by (NYU) New York University Langone Hospitals, post-pandemic compared to the 2020 year, there were 18 fewer births per 100,000 women of reproductive age in the U.S. However, after the second wave in 2021, fertility fell by roughly 9 monthly births per 100,000 women, which was similar to the rate at which national fertility had been decreasing before the pandemic.

Global Human Reproductive Technologies Market Segmentation:

The global human reproductive technologies market report is segmented into by technology, and by region.

Based on Technology, the global human reproductive technologies market is segmented into infertility drugs, and contraceptive drugs and devices. Out of which, the contraceptive drugs and devices segment is expected to dominate the global human reproductive technologies market during the forecast period and this is due to the increase in the usage of contraceptive drugs and devices as oral contraceptives is providing ease of mode of administration.

Based on Region, global human reproductive technologies market is segmented into the North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing prevalence of maternal mortality, increasing population, and increasing focus on family planning.

Among all the segmentations, the technology segment has the highest potential owing to the various growth strategies such as collaboration as well as acquisitions over the forecast period. For instance, on February 27, 2023, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories SA, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd, an Indian-based multinational pharmaceutical company, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the U.S. generic prescription product portfolio of Salisbury, Australia, based Mayne Pharma Group Limited, a pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing branded and generic pharmaceuticals.
