The key factors responsible for the market growth of fecundity tests include rising stress owing to hectic lifestyles, busier working women, drug abuse, declining fecundity rates, career consciousness among men and women, and related illnesses such as Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). It is a condition developed due to hormonal imbalance. In the U.S., it is estimated that polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder of the working reproductive-age woman, with a prevalence rate of 4-12%, while in Europe, it stood at 6.5-8%.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has emerged as a massive challenge for the global fertility test market. In the early stages of the epidemic, authorities recommended the interruption of all in-person fecundity test treatments. For example, in March 2020, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society instructed to suspend all in-person fecundity test treatments both in the U.S. and Canada due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 which has hampered the growth of the market.

Among these, a large market share is accredited to the ovulation kits segment. This is primarily due to the rising use of ovulation kits for early detection, easy over-the-counter use of the availability of the product, its low cost, and high precision rate as compared to the natural fecundity testing techniques.
Fecundity test monitors are assumed to grow at the highest market growth rate over the study period. Rising investment and new product launches are mainly responsible for this. For instance, in June 2021, Fertility Focus, the UK-based manufacturer of OvuCore and OvuSense fecundity monitoring solutions, introduced its new patented OvuFirst product.
This is designed to measure skin temperature, providing inputs to women to understand when to conceive naturally and to figure out issues arising due to that. Hence, funding, followed by innovative product launches, will likely boost the market segment’s growth prospects.
The female fecundity procedures segment is estimated to garner the largest market share. Declining female fecundity rates, increasing prevalence of PCOD, busier lifestyle of working women leading to alleviated levels of stress, and low ovary count are the foremost factors responsible for such high market share. Moreover, the availability of a wide range of fertility testing options among women and the high cost of IVF procedures also contributed to the market segment’s fortune.

Furthermore, increasing awareness among women and the rising average age for first-time pregnancies in women contribute to the region’s market for fecundity test growth. In June 2021, the Brookings Institution anticipated that due to the public health crisis and related recession in the United States, it would result in 300,000 to 500,000 fewer births in 2021. As per the Guttmacher Institute survey, 2020, around 34% of the U.S working women have either deferred plans to have a child or not decided to have kids due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Europe has the lowest fertility rates of 1.6 across the globe, as per the statistics published in the Eurostat in 2018. This decline in fertility rate is primarily due to the rise in working women seeking small families to have a work-life balance. Moreover, increased pressure of raising children also contributed to the region’s market growth.
