The use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs also affects the sperm count and quality in many individuals.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising prevalence of male infertility

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 17.5% of the adult population which is roughly 1 in 6 worldwide experience infertility. The rates differ in high-income and middle-income countries due to the available diagnosis and treatment options. The prevalence was approximately 17.8% in high-income countries and around 16.5% in low- and middle-income countries.
High Cost of the Treatment

In January 2024, an Australian Medtech company, Fertilis, released a prototype of microICSI, which aims to improve porcine blastocyst development and procedural efficiency for both porcine intracytoplasmic sperm injection and human microinjection.
Furthermore, in July 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. released 2 new assays that enable preimplantation genetic testing to improve the ICSI and IVF research.
Geographical Analysis
North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Market
North America is expected to hold the largest share in the segment due to the increasing adoption of IVF procedures in the United States and other parts of North America. For instance, according to the Pew Research Center, in the United States, four in ten adults I.E. 42% of adults likely got the fertility treatment done in their lifetime.
