MEA IVF Tools and Techniques Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Promulgating awareness about the benefits of IVF technique coupled with the emerging fertility problems in the region is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the IVF tools and techniques in the middle east and Africa region. In the GCC, it has been estimated that 6-7 million couples in the 20-40 age group are suffering from infertility and around Almost 15-20% of couples regionally have difficulty conceiving naturally. Moreover, the fertility rate in the region has witnessed a sharp decline in the last 2 decades. As per the world bank, the fertility rate in the MENA region has decreased from 7 children per woman in 1960 to just 3 in 2019.

Furthermore, a decrease in the cost of infertility treatment services in the Middle East region is also a key factor that is gaining end-users traction for medical services related to IVF Treatment. The average cost of an IVF/ICSI cycle in the GCC States is ~US$3,000-5,000 and an additional US$1,500-2,000. These costs are cheaper by at least 70-80% than several European and North American countries. Therefore, the region is witnessing a sharp rise every year in the number of international tourists incoming for medical services.  According to the latest Medical Tourism Index Ranking, Dubai and Abu Dhabi were ranked 6th and 8th in terms of leading global destinations for medical tourism, respectively.  As per Colliers, medical tourism accounts for 10-15% of the IVF patient volumes. The emerging number of medical tourists is contributing significantly to the market growth.

COVID19 is a global crisis that has significantly affected the field of infertility and IVF practice. This also includes risk groups such as pregnant women and neonates. As COVID-19 cases are on the rapid rise in the Middle East and African region, the countries across the region went through a strict lockdown for months and a couple of days, IVF clinics had to shut down and all assisted reproductive process was postponed. Many patients, who were undergoing treatment, had to cancel their plans midway.
