In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive technology in which the ovum is artificially fertilized in laboratory settings and then implanted into the uterus. Rise in number of infertility cases across the country, owing to decline in fertility rate in women and increase in middle age pregnancies drive the U.S. IVF services market growth. Moreover, it is a widely used treatments, which assists couples with infertility problems, single mothers, and the LGBT community to procreate. Increase in infertility rate, rise in trend of delayed pregnancies, surge in IVF success rate, and growth in disposable income drive growth of the market. However, the U.S IVF services market growth is restricted by higher cost, complications associated with IVF treatment, and low awareness level for IVF. In addition, technological advancements in IVF procedures and increase in healthcare expenditures further propel the market growth. For example, omission of implanting multiple embryos during IVF procedures have reduced the number of twin births in the U.S.

There is a confusing picture of the effect of COVID-19 on fertility treatments, with the advice and guidance coming from several different resources such as ASRM (American Society of Reproductive Medicine) 2020. Several women have delayed their IVF appointments, and others have delayed their embryo transfer dates until the pandemic situation stops, and life returns to normal. In the ongoing COVID-19 situation, gynecologists are managing antenatal care during pregnancy through online video sessions to limit the disclosure to the outside world. The ongoing pregnancies by IVF are also struggling for necessary scans and medicines. Thus, factors mentioned above impact the IVF in a deleterious manner.

Furthermore, delayed pregnancy trends have steadily increased. In older women (more than 40 years), eggs produced by the reproductive system are immature for the process of fertilization. This may result in risk of genetic disorders in the egg. Furthermore, aging individuals experience a decline in production of healthy eggs and increased chance of miscarriages. Apart from this, tobacco smoking before or during pregnancy could place the infant at risk for developmental problems or resulting in conceiving problems. According to the CDC, about 20% of women in the U.S. now have their first child after the age of 35 and about one-third of couples in which the woman is older than 35 years have fertility problems. Thus, increase in trend of delayed pregnancies in women is anticipated to drive growth of the IVF services market.
