Artificial insemination Market Share

Global Artificial Insemination Market Overview

The artificial insemination market is projected to register a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 to 2032 to reach approximately USD 9.2 billion by 2032. Artificial insemination is an assisted reproductive treatment in which semen containing living sperm is introduced into a female's cervix, fallopian tubes, or uterus. It is accomplished through short and relatively painless artificial insemination homologous (AIH) or artificial insemination donor semen (AID) procedures. Self-insemination kits are now available on the market and can be used in the comfort of one's home. 

Artificial insemination is now widely used in animal breeding to improve reproductive success and conserve threatened or endangered species. It also prevents the spread of certain diseases and sterility in animals due to genital conditions. For instance, Genus's plc, a leading animal genetics firm, collaborated with Beijing Capital Agribusiness Co. Ltd, a leading Chinese animal protein genetics firm, to research and develop virus-resistant techniques in pigs. The market expansion is fueled by major pharmaceutical firms' aggressive development of medications undergoing clinical and preclinical testing, as well as their introduction of new insemination kits with proven potential benefits. In addition, rising rates of infertility among the world's population are significantly expanding the demand for artificial insemination.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Since its discovery in December 2019, the COVID-19 virus has spread to almost every nation, causing the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency. A brand-new coronavirus called COVID-19 was found to be the cause of the pneumonia cases. This virus quickly spread throughout the world, killing many people. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a  pandemic in March 2020, and strict measures were recommended to prevent the disease's spread. Since then, the pandemic has slowed healthcare sector expansion and disrupted the supply chain. Furthermore, governments in several countries imposed nationwide lockdowns to halt the spread of COVID-19.

Artificial Insemination Market Trends

Rising infertility rates and increased awareness among individuals about alternative reproductive treatments are two major factors influencing the market. Furthermore, governments in many countries have legalized same-sex marriage and provided insurance coverage to civil unions for artificial insemination procedures, fueling the market growth. Aside from that, the growing  population and increasing demand for animal-based protein drive the demand for artificial insemination in domestic livestock animals. Improving veterinary services and rising animal healthcare expenditure drive market growth. Furthermore, the leading players are forming strategic alliances to expand their portfolio of animal genetics and strengthen their position in various markets.

 Market Drivers

•   Rising infertility issues in people to aid the  market growth

Infertility is one of the most serious and widespread issues affecting today's youth worldwide. The female preference for pregnancy and the gradual increase in the number of infertile couples who require pregnancy assistance can be attributed to market growth. The age of women, the quality of their eggs, and women in their late 30s are expected to increase demand for artificial insemination. Furthermore, infertility affects over 20 million women, according to the National Women's Health Resource Center. Total fertility is expected to fall from 2.43 to 2.39 children per woman between 2020 and 2030, according to the 2017 United Nations World Population Prospects report. The rising prevalence of infertility among the  population drives the  market forward.

Market Restraints:

• Most countries have strict regulations in place regarding who is eligible to receive fertility treatments, which is stifling market growth

Most countries' stringent regulations governing who is eligible to receive fertility treatments are impeding the growth of the  market. Italy and France, for example, prohibit lesbian couples and single women from using artificial insemination. Italy and Austria are among the countries that have banned all sperm and egg donations for IVF. Norway and Germany prohibit egg donation but permit sperm donation.

Market Opportunities:

• Insurance companies covering artificial insemination treatment under medical coverage

Many insurance companies now cover artificial insemination as a medical procedure. These initiatives assist patients in fighting infertility and creating opportunities in the insurance industry. Moreover, Governments and international organizations develop policies and establish new institutions to improve medical connectivity, such as the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Regulation Bill, the Nation Public Action Plan, the National Family Policy, and other initiatives. According to the UN Security Council, 84% of the country supports the policy that directly and indirectly affects the country's infertility.

Artificial Insemination Market Segment Insights

Artificial Insemination Type Insights

The market segments of artificial insemination, based on type, is intrauterine, intracervical, and intratubal. The intrauterine segment is expected exhibit a rapid CAGR and hold the largest market share in the artificial insemination market growth in 2021. This insemination method is the most used to treat infertility because it produces the highest pregnancy rate. It is also a non-invasive procedure. During the washing process, prostaglandins, pathogenic agents, antigenic proteins, nonmotile spermatozoa, immature germ cells, and other contaminants are removed, resulting in high-quality sperm. These are the primary benefits that will drive the intrauterine segment's growth in the  market during the forecast period. The intravaginal portion is expected to be the second largest (IVI). IVI can be performed in a fertility clinic or home, which is especially beneficial for surrogacy and donor insemination.

The artificial insemination market segmentation, by type, is hospitals & clinics, fertility centers, and home-based. The fertility center segment is expected to have the largest market share in 2021 and to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Fertility clinics are implementing various strategies to increase customer awareness and knowledge about available treatments and solutions for infertility problems. Because of the rise in infertility rates worldwide, several medical centers focus on providing infertility treatment. These are the major key factors driving the fertility clinics & other facilities segment's growth during the forecast period.

Artificial Insemination Market Regional Insights

the artificial insemination market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Europe accounted for the most extensive market share. Asia-Pacific will exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific dominated the  market in 2021 because of rising mortality rates and increased awareness about available treatment options. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing business sector in the coming years. A growing number of regional players offering managed impregnation units requiring little to no effort in countries such as China is expected to aid market development in the APEJ region through 2026. Furthermore, factors such as a high rate of unnatural birth cycles and fruitlessness in the location, for example, because of the disturbing levels of air pollution in China, have resulted in a decrease in sperm count, quality, and motility, driving the interest in manual sperm injection in APEJ.

Europe

Europe is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. Postponement of pregnancy and lifestyle changes are two factors contributing to this decrease. Due to factors including the availability of reimbursement, the market in Europe is predicted to grow throughout the forecast period.
