Female Infertility: Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2028

Female Infertility: Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2028

Summary

Female infertility (FI) is a complex disorder defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of timed, unprotected intercourse. The etiology of the condition spans a wide range of disorders that can be broadly classified into the following categories: diminished ovarian reserve & ovulation disorders, endometriosis, fallopian tube abnormalities, uterine factors and unexplained infertility. Several factors may be considered before a treatment decision is made, including treatment effectiveness (live birth rate), treatment burden (such as number of required injections and monitoring appointments), safety (such as risk of multiple gestation or ovarian hyperstimulation), and cost of therapy. Overall, the most common treatments include ovulation induction drugs and/or advanced techniques, referred to as Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Key Highlights

The greatest drivers of growth in the global FI market are a growing number of women are postponing pregnancy until later in life and at a reproductively older age when fertility has generally decreased and the launch of nolasiban in the US and 5EU, the first major innovation in this indication in many years.
The main barriers to growth in the female infertility market include the sparse pipeline for new female infertility treatments, and the limited number of innovative drugs under development.
Among the late-stage pipeline products, the launch of nolasiban early in the forecast period will add significant growth to sales by 2028.
The most important unmet needs in FI include further improving IVF success rates, orally and less frequently administered drugs involved in IVF, additional treatment options for reproductively older infertile women and young women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), development of novel non-surgical treatment options for the management of uterine fibroid-related infertility and reducing high IVF treatment patient dropout rates.
