Human Embryo Culture Medium Market Size, Share & Trend Analysis By Media System Type, By Formulation Type, By Media Type, By End User, Regional Stance, Competitive Tactics, and Segment Forecast to 2030 

Human Embryo Culture Medium Market at a Glance: 

Human Embryo Culture Media are typically physiological salt solutions which are used in the process of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ARTs). Although used in several ARTs, the use of human embryo culture medium is most widespread in the In Virto Fertilization (IVF) technique. Culture media was first developed and experimented in 1912 when the embryo of a rabbit was developed with the help of culture medium. However, special culture media for human embryos was first developed in 1984. During the process of IVF, the egg removed from the female uterus is placed in human embryo culture medium and a single human sperm is added to the female mature egg. The human embryo culture medium provides the required nutrients to the fertilizing egg.

While historically a continuous culture medium was used for the entire process of egg fertilization, with recent research and development, specialized human embryo culture media are developed for the various stages of fertilization. This helps in the process by providing required nutrients at each target stage.

Human Embryo Culture Medium Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers:

“Wider acceptance of IVF and other ARTs”

While the use of In Virto Fertilization (IVF) was not accepted in the society in the 1900s, and was even considered a taboo, it is the most accepted and popular technique among all assisted reproductive techniques in today’s time. With information about IVF and its procedure available on a wider scale now, people are embracing IVF as the go to treatment where there are cases of infertility, genetic disorders, etc. Moreover, IVF and other ARTs have had a decent track record with a good success rate. Thus, people are turning towards various ARTs which is projected to have a positive effect on the human embryo culture medium market as culture medium is an essential part of the ART process.

 

“Couples are deciding to have children at later stages in life”

People, in today’s time, are very dedicated to make a career for themselves and often devote themselves so much to their career that they fail to realize the fast passage of time. Thus, in the later stages of life when couples decide to have children, the human body and its fertility often does not support this decision. IVF is known to successfully alleviate this problem which leads to increased demand for IVF and thus human embryo culture medium.

 

“Improved technology”

Since the first child using IVF was born in 1978, the process of IVF has drastically changed for the better. Due to the improved technology and process, the success rate of IVF has skyrocketed which has helped in changing people’s mindset regarding the same. Thus, with increased demand for IVF, the demand for human embryo culture medium is estimated to rise.

 

Market Restraints:

“Development of in-house culture media”

As the market for IVF is looking bright, many IVF treatment centres and hospitals are establishing their own division for development and manufacture of human embryo culture media. This helps the hospitals and IVF centres to reduce cost as well as have better control on the manufacture of culture media. It is important to have this control as well because many embryologists grow frustrated because outsourced culture media generally don’t have any information on the ingredients used in making the product. Thus, due to this factor, the demand for human embryo culture media might somewhat get restricted.

 

“Expensive process”

IVF and other ARTs are not inexpensive procedures. While the cost of these procedures has drastically decreased, it is still out of reach for many middle class families. Moreover, many times, due to a failed IVF procedure, multiple attempts are required which multiply the total cost.

 

Market Opportunities:

“Ongoing research and development to improve efficiency and technology”

While all the drivers mentioned above provide great opportunities to get into the human embryo culture media market, but specific research and development targeted at improving the human embryo culture medium is something that could really prove to be a great opportunity. With specialized culture media now used to nourish the embryo at different stages, researchers are now looking to move towards further improvement of technology to enhance safety of the embryo.

Human Embryo Culture Media Market Regional Stance:

With being one the first regions in the world to fully embrace IVF and other ARTs, North America is the market leader for the culture medium market. Factors such as higher number of IVF clinics, more people in corporates, and availability of sufficient scientific expertise for research and development are essential in making this region the market leader for culture media.

Europe has proved to be a consistent market for human embryo culture media since the first child to ever take birth through IVF was in the United Kingdom. Since then, people in Europe have been accepting of IVF and other ARTs.

Asia Pacific market promises to be a future leader in IVF due to the population growth now slowing down. The people presence of teenagers with a modern outlook is supposed to drive the demand in this region.
