Vitrification Market Dynamics
Driver: Increase In Delayed Childbearing/Parenthood
Sociodemographic factors such as aspirations for one's job or education, the growing sway of movements advocating for women's empowerment, single status, and financial constraints are the main causes of postponing parenting. Lack of a compatible spouse is the most frequent reason given by participants in several studies for delaying parenthood till after the age 30 to 40. Furthermore, according to a CDC survey, American women are now on average older than they were thirty years ago when they had their first kid. Furthermore, the average age at first birth for men and women between the ages of 15 and 44 in 2015–2019 was 26.4 for men and 23.7 for women, respectively, according to a CDC report titled National Health Statistics Report, which was released in January 2023. This was higher than the average age at first birth for men and women in 2011–2015. Furthermore, non-Hispanic Asian females were found to have the highest average age at first birth, at 28.4. Because of this, there is a greater need than ever to preserve sperm and eggs to treat infertility in older adults. In addition, women are pursuing oocyte preservation to boost their chances of becoming pregnant later in life.
Social Acceptance of Fertility Preservation Techniques
With notable success rates, modern egg preservation procedures have evolved into effective pregnancy modes. Because freezing needed more eggs at an older age than at a younger age, conventional egg-freezing procedures were shown to have comparatively lower pregnancy success rates. In contrast to IVF using fresh oocytes, oocyte vitrification has boosted the rates of pregnancy and live births. It is projected that these research would increase the social acceptance of these methods, propelling market expansion. In several nations, fertility preservation methods have become more socially acceptable in recent years. For example, a 2020 Biomed Central article reports that a large percentage of Hong Kong Chinese support fertility preservation. Furthermore, according to data from the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HEFA), the UK had a 64% increase in egg storage and freezing between 2019 and 2021, indicating a considerable increase in the use of reproductive treatments there. Furthermore, the acceptance of same-sex marriage by law and the rise in single motherhood in many countries have increased demand for vitrification services and cryopreservation of eggs and sperm. Women who want to freeze their eggs might receive financial assistance from nations like Japan.
Restraint: Technical And Ethical Challenges Of Fertility Preservation
The commercial exploitation of eggs and sperm, pressure on women to adopt egg-freezing technologies, and the possible influence of these practices on gender inequality are ethical problems associated with egg and sperm preservation. Informed permission when dealing with adolescents and a lack of knowledge about total expenses provide additional ethical difficulties. Certain organizations provide their female employees with egg-freezing plans, which may raise the likelihood that they will put off having children in the future. Due to her need to cover the cost of reproductive therapy, this policy may imply that the female employee is not allowed to quit the organization. Another difficulty in maintaining fertility is the utilization of extra eggs. In these circumstances, egg sharing is a possibility. On the other hand, moral dilemmas including conflict of interest and incomplete consent might surface. The upper restriction on egg freezing is another problem. As to the briefings released by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, in the UK, eggs can be kept for a maximum of ten years by a process known as Social Egg Freezing (SEF). For the market to thrive, these issues must be resolved. Moreover, there may be a notable spike in costs associated with the use of vitrification in IVF facilities.
