U.S. Vitrification Market Trends
The increasing demand for fertility treatments has driven more people to opt for ART. As more individuals and couples seek options such as IVF and egg freezing, the need for advanced preservation methods has surged in demand. Vitrification, a rapid freezing technique, is crucial in enhancing the success rates of ART procedures, thereby fuelling market growth. This trend reflects the broader acceptance and reliance on fertility treatments in the U.S.
- For instance, in April 2024, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology reported a 2.5% increase in U.S births from IVF, with 91,771 babies born in 2022 compared to 89,208 in 2021. The total number of IVF cycles performed at Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) member clinics grew by over 6% to 389,993 in 2022, reflecting rising demand for IVF services despite legal challenges. Similarly, egg-freezing cycles also increased to 29,803, up from 24,560 in 2021, indicating a growing interest in ART options. Thus, this growth in ART procedures has driven the expansion of the market, which is crucial for preserving gametes and embryos used in these treatments.
