The success rate of getting pregnant with IVF technique is higher in the age group of 35–39 years.

A patient may need to undergo several cycles of pregnancy owing to the lower success rate of IVF procedures, thereby adding to the overall cost. The average cost of this procedure is approximately $10,000–$20,000, which often acts as a major limitation, to the adoption of the technique. In addition, ethical considerations and lack of reimbursements are other challenges that impede the market growth.

The growing trends of delayed pregnancy have steadily increased across Europe and other countries. In older women, eggs produced by the reproductive system are less efficient for the process of fertilization with the male spermatozoa, resulting in risk of genetic disorders. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of fertilization in the age group of 35–39 years through IVF is considerably high.
IVF techniques play a significant role in addressing infertility. The success rates in Denmark range from 26% to 29% for patients in the age group of 25–37 years. The pregnancy rate is 12–16% for the age group of 37-45 years; however, clinicians claim that there are more chances of miscarriage in this age group, resulting in birth rate of about 8–10%. A single standard IVF cycle in Denmark costs approximately $4,800, which is less than that in the rest of European countries. However, these costs are higher as compared to that in Russia and Spain.

Analyst Review
The emerging trend of delayed pregnancies and increasing average age of parenthood over the last decade are major factors that drive the growth of the IVF market. France has witnessed a rise in trend in same-sex couples seeking parenthood. In addition, polygamy and polyandry have also increased, though to a lesser extent, increasing the demand for alternative reproductive treatments. Countries such as UK have recently accepted three-parent IVF methods, commonly banned in other countries worldwide. This method is expected to boost the growth of UK IVF market owing to its inherent benefits of avoiding gene-linked mitochondrial DNA diseases in newborns.
The growth in government interventions and support, especially in UK where lower fertility, aging population, and lack of workforce have triggered severe implications, is further expected to boost the market growth. Government support and regulations (such as HFEA act and guidelines), favorable policies such as three-parent IVF, and availability of reimbursements are expected to drive the UK IVF market growth at a CAGR higher than rest of the European countries.
