How much will the Sperm Bank industry be worth in the Future????
The global sperm bank
market size is expected to reach USD 5.45 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is majorly
driven by increasing incidence of male andfemale infertility, rising acceptance
of sperm banking services, and government initiatives in Assisted Reproductive
Techniques (ART). Increasing cases of miscarriage is also one of the key growth
contributors.
The most common concern for the governments of
all Covid-19 hit nations is the excruciating need to screen for and test large
numbers of patients for possible Sars-Cov-2 infection. As a result, most of
them are facing major shortages in the supply for diagnostic kits to test for
the virus. Diagnostics virology entities are under immense pressure to provide
reliable testing kits, and there is a surge in demand for in-vitro or
point-of-care testing capacities by labs across a large number of countries.
The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
According to the female age-related
infertility study by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM),
fertility decreases with age. Risks of complications during pregnancy also
increase with age, resulting in the use of donor sperms or eggs. Rising trend
of smoking is also affecting fertility in males and females. Female smokers
achieve menopause earlier as compared to nonsmokers and are also at higher risk
of miscarriage. This also represents lucrative opportunities for the market
growth.
Rise in funding and supportive
initiatives for ART has driven growth of the sperm bank market. For instance,
the Australian government funds the ART services under the Medicare Benefit
Scheme. It supports the access to In vitro Fertilization (IVF) or ART for the
people unable to have children. Other countries with supportive initiatives
include U.K., Singapore, and Canada.
Growing acceptance of Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is also a key market driver. The
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) reports that the LGBT community is growing in U.S.,
and a survey states that more than 10,000 LGBT identified youth are aged
between 13 and 17 years. This represents growing demand for sperm banking services
in the country.

various countries against donor anonymity
·
Semen analysis accounted for
the highest revenue share in 2018. However, sperm storage segment is expected
to expand at the faster CAGR over the forecast period
·
In vitro fertilization held the
largest revenue share in terms of end use, in 2018 and is anticipated to expand
at a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period
·
Asia pacific is expected to
register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the growing
fertility tourism and low cost of the procedure
·
Key players operating in the
sperm bank market include Fairfax Cryobank, Inc.; Cryo-Save AG; Andocryos; New
England Cryogenic Center; Indian Spermtech; Seattle Sperm Bank; Xytex
Corporation; and London Sperm Bank.
The
global sperm bank market size was estimated at USD 4.33 billion in 2018 and is
projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period. Innovations in
cryopreservation techniques, rising awareness, emergence of fertility tourism,
and increasing access to infertility treatment are the key factors driving the
growth. Increase in risk of miscarriages is also among few key factors boosting
the demand. For instance, according to an article published by Tommy’s, an
organization funding research in the area of stillbirths, premature births, and
miscarriage in U.K.; around 650 babies were miscarried per day in 2017.
Rising
prevalence of obesity across the globe is also one of the key drivers for the
market. Obesity is one of the known risk factors for low sperm count in men and
infertility among women. Men and women with fertility issues opt for artificial
insemination techniques. Thus, rising risk of infertility due to obesity, is
expected to boost the demand for fertility treatments, such as In vitro
Fertilization (IVF), thereby driving the market growth.
Rising
concerns of male infertility due to abnormal and inadequate sperm volume and
ejaculatory issues is projected to further drive the demand for sperm bank
services. According to the American Association of Pregnancy, male infertility
accounts for 30% of the infertility cases, which is around one-fifth of all
infertility cases. Apart from genetic problems, male infertility is also caused
due to illicit drugs, exposure to toxic substances, frequent alcohol
consumption, and smoking. Thus, growing prevalence of male and female
infertility worldwide is propelling the adoption of infertility services, such
as donor insemination and IVF procedures, thereby boosting the market growth.
Rise
in funding and supportive government initiatives across various countries is
anticipated to boost adoption of fertility treatments, thereby driving the
demand for sperm banks. The Singapore government offers around 75% co-funding
for various Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures, such as IVF,
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT), and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
(ICSI). In December 2015, the Ontario government announced a USD 50 million
fertility program that funds one cycle of IVF and unlimited artificial
insemination and intra-uterine insemination treatments. The National Health
Service (NHS) also funds the treatment for infertility across U.K.
