Female Infertility – Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2028

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Female infertility (FI) is a complex disorder defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of timed, unprotected intercourse. The etiology of the condition spans a wide range of disorders that can be broadly classified into the following categories: diminished ovarian reserve & ovulation disorders, endometriosis, fallopian tube abnormalities, uterine factors and unexplained infertility. Several factors may be considered before a treatment decision is made, including treatment effectiveness (live birth rate), treatment burden (such as number of required injections and monitoring appointments), safety (such as risk of multiple gestation or ovarian hyperstimulation), and cost of therapy. Overall, the most common treatments include ovulation induction drugs and/or advanced techniques, referred to as Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Despite progress made in the management of female infertility since the introduction of ART and other improvements in treating patients, KOLs thought challenges associated with treatment remain, throughout the 7MM.
• Which unmet needs are the most pressing in the 7MM?
• Where should pharmaceutical companies focus drug development efforts in order to become a significant player in the space?
GlobalData expects that pipeline development of nolasiban will contribute significantly to the growth of the FI market going forward.
• How much is nolasiban expected to generate over the forecast period?
• What other assets are under development and how do KOLs see them competing against current treatment options?
Although female infertility is a prevalent condition, it remains a niche indication on the industry level.
• Which have been historically the companies leading the way?
• What new companies are emerging in the space?

Scope

Overview of Female Infertility including epidemiology, etiology and current treatment options, namely ovulation induction and ART

Topline Female Infertility market revenue, annual cost of therapy, and major pipeline product sales in the forecast period.

Key topics covered include current treatment and pipeline therapies, unmet needs and opportunities, and the drivers and barriers affecting Female Infertility therapeutics sales in the 7MM.

Pipeline analysis: Comprehensive data split across different phases, emerging novel trends under development, and detailed analysis of late-stage pipeline drugs.

Analysis of the current and future market competition in the global Female Infertility therapeutics market. Insightful review of the key industry drivers, restraints and challenges. Each trend is independently researched to provide qualitative analysis of its implications.

Key Highlights

The greatest drivers of growth in the global FI market are a growing number of women are postponing pregnancy until later in life and at a reproductively older age when fertility has generally decreased and the launch of nolasiban in the US and 5EU, the first major innovation in this indication in many years.

The main barriers to growth in the female infertility market include the sparse pipeline for new female infertility treatments, and the limited number of innovative drugs under development.

Among the late-stage pipeline products, the launch of nolasiban early in the forecast period will add significant growth to sales by 2028.

The most important unmet needs in FI include further improving IVF success rates, orally and less frequently administered drugs involved in IVF, additional treatment options for reproductively older infertile women and young women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), development of novel non-surgical treatment options for the management of uterine fibroid-related infertility and reducing high IVF treatment patient dropout rates.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
