UK IVF Services Market Overview:
The UK IVF Services Market is projected to reach $685.4 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2016 to 2022. The emerging trend of delayed pregnancies and increasing average age of parenthood over the last decade drive the growth of the market. Moreover, rise in trend in same sex couples seeking parenthood through IVF treatment propels the growth of the market. Favorable government policies such as after Human Fertilization and Embryology Act in 2008 has favored single mothers and lesbian couples to opt for IVF treatment. In addition, there is growth in polygamy and polyandry, though, to a smaller level, which increases the need for alternative reproductive treatments. The UK has recently accepted the three parent IVF methods, commonly banned in other parts of the world. This method is anticipated to boost the growth of UK IVF services market owing to its inherent benefits of avoiding genes linked mitochondrial DNA diseases in babies.
However, ethical and religious issues related to surrogacy majorly restricts the market growth. For instance, Catholic Herald raised questions over the growth in number of perishing embryos and has demanded revaluation of the IVF legislation in the UK. The total number of IVF embryos allowed to perish has increased-from 6 in 1990 to 169,644 by 2013. This has largely limited the adoption of IVF technologies among infertile couples.
Key players profiled in the UK IVF services market report include Lister Fertility Clinic, The Bridge Center, and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (Assisted Conception Unit).
