Fertility Supplements Market Dynamics:

One of the key factors influencing the growth of the fertility supplements market is the rising prevalence of infertility along with its risk factors among individuals in the reproductive age group. Infertility affects a significant percentage of couples worldwide, and the desire to conceive has fueled the demand for fertility-related products and services.

The data published by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 2023 says that in 2021 the total fertility rate (TFR) in Korea, France, Sweden, and Switzerland was 0.81, 1.80, 1.67, and 1.51 respectively which is less than average TFR of 2.1.

As per the above mentioned source, the TFR for most of the countries in 2020 was below the average TFR with Australia having TFR of 1.58, Canada 1.50, China 1.70, United States 1.64, United Kingdom 1.56, Spain 1.36, Japan 1.33, and South Korea with 0.84 TFR.

The World Health Organization (WHO) 2023 estimates suggests that approximately one in every six people of reproductive age worldwide experience infertility in their lifetime.

According to World Bank 2022, the total fertility rate (TFR) in most of the regions including North and South America to Europe and Asia-Pacific was 1.6 in 2020 which is comparatively lower than the average TFR of 2.1.

As people face difficulties in conceiving naturally, they often turn to fertility supplements as a potential solution. In addition, several factors contribute to the rising infertility rates, including lifestyle changes, delayed pregnancies due to career pursuits, environmental factors, alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of physical activity, and obesity among others.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2022 , in 2020, nearly 13 of every 100 US adults aged 18 years or older smoked cigarettes. As per the data reported by Foundation for a Smoke-Free World 2022, there were 20.4 million adult smokers in Brazil in 2019. Smoking is one of the major factor responsible for causing infertility in both men and women. It not only affects semen quality in males but also creates complications for women who wish to conceive.

Obesity which is largely associated with causing reproductive disorders, particularly in women is on rise. It is associated with anovulation, menstrual disorders, infertility, difficulties in assisted reproduction, miscarriage, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

As per OECD Health Statistics 2021, about 33% of women population of Switzerland, 38.4% in Italy, and 42.7% women in Spain were overweight including obesity in 2019.

Thus, the increasing incidences of infertility among men and women are increasing the fertility supplements demand, which is anticipated to boost the market's growth over the forecast period from 2023-2028.

However, lack of regulatory oversight and standardization, availability of alternative options in the market such as in-vitro fertilization may restrict the growth of the fertility supplements market.

As per the same source 5% of women smoked daily in Indonesia, India, China, Costa Rica, Mexico and Korea in 2019. Smoking affects the female reproductive system and makes it difficult for women to conceive. Fertility supplements are crucial for the reproductive health of women.

About 6% of married women aged 15 to 49 years are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying and 14% have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.

As per the Statistics Canada 2022, country’s fertility rate decreased from 1.47 children per woman in 2019 to a record low of 1.40 children per woman in 2020.
