Overview of the global male infertility market
According to Technavio’s analyst, the global male infertility market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR of close to 6% during the forecast period. The rising incidence of prostate cancer will drive the growth prospects for the global male infertility market until the end of 2021. In most cases, the treatment of this cancer requires the removal of the prostate gland, which results in impaired sexual function and infertility in men. Also, seminal vesicles that lie at the base of the bladder are completely removed during the process of prostatectomy and causes loss of semen, which makes the ejaculation impossible. In other cases, when the patient undergoes radiation therapy, the semen produced by radiated prostate cells and seminal vesicles loses its ability to transport well. Such conditions force several individuals to undergo fertility treatments, which drives the adoption rate of infertility treatment.
In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the majority market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market for the next four years. Some of the major factors responsible for the market’s growth in the region includes the rise in infertility and obesity rates, and a lifestyle involving high consumption of liquor, substance abuse, and excessive smoking.
