Description

The global artificial insemination market size was USD 1,929.2 million in 2021, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% to reach USD 3,677.9 million by 2030. According to a WHO survey, around 10% of women are directly or indirectly affected by infertility.

Moreover, In Canada, the government is initiating measures to control the declining population, wherein it sponsored various cycles of artificial insemination and IVF. Moreover, the Canadian government provides up to 40% tax credits to citizens who undertake fertility treatments. In the UK, up to six Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) cycles are sponsored by the NHS in certain cases. However, if the couple fails to conceive through IUI, IVF is the preferred alternative.

Global Artificial Insemination Market Definition

Artificial insemination is the deliberate introduction of sperm into a female's cervix or uterine cavity in order to achieve a pregnancy by means other than sexual intercourse or in vitro fertilization.

Global Artificial Insemination Market Dynamics

Drivers: Constant Rise in Infertility Rate

The rate of infertility is increasing worldwide due to the rising prevalence of conditions such as erectile dysfunction and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Significant changes in lifestyle and increasing preference of working women for conceiving at a later age may result in complications. Infertility issues in men result from various factors such as stress, alcohol consumption, changing lifestyle, and reducing sperm count & motility. A continuous increase in the incidence of infertility in both sexes is driving the market for artificial insemination.

Restraints: Unsupportive Government Regulations in Certain Areas

Access to ARTs, including artificial insemination, remains a challenge in low-resource countries. According to WHO, infertility issues affect 180 million people across the globe. Unavailability or delay in access to diagnosis and treatment of infertility may adversely affect the possible successful results. There is a gap between the need and availability of reproductive healthcare in underdeveloped and developing nations, including gynecologic and obstetric care.

The intrauterine insemination segment is projected to account for the largest market share, by type

Based on type, the global artificial insemination market is divided into intrauterine insemination, intracervical insemination, intravaginal insemination, and intratubal insemination. In 2021, the intrauterine insemination (IUI) segment accounted for the largest market share of 71.1% in the global artificial insemination market. Intrauterine Insemination  is a type of assisted reproductive technology that involves the introduction of sperms directly into the uterus with the help of a catheter. IUI is considered the most common type of insemination. Sperms are injected into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization by placing sperms closest to the eggs. IUI is planned to coincide with women's ovulation period to maximize the chances of conception. The hormonal analysis monitors progress throughout the process by using ultrasound.

IUI is preferred over other methods as it is non-invasive, affordable, easily performed, has minimum risks, and is easy to train. The pregnancy rate by IUI is higher than that by other modes of insemination. The majority of the pregnancies occur during the first six cycles. Generally, IUI is not recommended for more than nine cycles.

Asia Pacific accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period
