Egg Donation Market Analysis Report | Size, Share & Outlook 2030
[Research Report] The egg donation market size is projected to grow from US$ 2,940 million in 2022 to US$ 5,464 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.07% during 2022-2030.
Market Insights and Analyst View:
The egg donation involves the donation of an oocyte or egg of a fertile woman to another woman to help her conceive. Egg donation is an important part of assisted reproductive technology (ART). In the procedure, a doctor removes an egg or eggs from the donor, fertilizes them in a laboratory, and then transfers the resulting embryos into the recipient’s uterus. An implantation procedure, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), is used by the doctor for the same. Egg donation is frequently advantageous to women who cannot use their eggs for various reasons, including avoiding congenital anomalies in the fetus, advanced age, or ovarian failure.
Factors that positively affect the egg donation market are the growing incidence of infertility across the globe, which boosts the need for egg donation, and the increase in the adoption of IVF procedures. Also, the rising number of fertility clinics and infertility services with government support drives investment in the egg donation market.
Growth Drivers:
According to the World Health Organization's clinical definition, infertility is the inability of an individual to achieve a healthy clinical pregnancy. Infertility can affect both sexes, men and women; however, most research on this topic focuses only on women. Fertility rates measure the average percentage of children per woman. The fertility rate is steadily declining worldwide, owing to various factors, such as the rising trend of late marriages and growing age-related infertility. As per the data published by the World Health Organization in 2023, infertility affects a large proportion of the global population, with approximately one in six people experiencing infertility in their lifetimes. The lifetime prevalence of infertility is projected to be 17.5%. The period prevalence of infertility is projected to be 12.6%.
According to the medium-variant projection of the 2019 revision of World Population Prospects, the global fertility rate will continue to fall from 2.5 live births per woman in 2019 to 2.2 in 2050 and further to 1.9 in 2100.3. In sub-Saharan Africa, the fertility rate is projected to drop from 4.6 live births per woman in 2019 to 3.1 in 2050 and further to 2.1 in 2100. About 12% of women in the age group 15 to 44 years in the US faced difficulty getting pregnant or achieving pregnancy to term, regardless of marital status. Also, about 6.0% of married women aged 15 to 44 years in the US are not capable of getting pregnant after one year of trying (infertility). Egg quality is diminished with age as a woman is exposed to all the inevitable forces of everyday life— toxins, illness, fever, free radicals, and more which can damage the DNA inside her eggs. As a woman's age advances, it’s more likely that she’ll have abnormal eggs genetically, resulting in miscarriage, no pregnancy, or genetic disorders for the baby. According to data published by Extend Firtility LLC, for the women who do get pregnant, the chance of genetic abnormality, which results in miscarriage or disorders such as Down syndrome, rises rapidly as female ages, from 2% in her 20s to 5% in her 40s. Therefore, frozen eggs when a woman is in her 20s or early 30s are more likely to result in a healthy pregnancy, even when used later.
Additionally, according to the World Fertility Report 2019, projections of teenage birth rates are available for 2015–2020 for 201 countries or areas with populations of at least 90,000. Speedy fertility decays were seen in all the major regions. Among the 77 countries and areas where adolescent fertility declined by over 50% between 1990–1995 and 2015–2020, 28 in Asia, 28 were in Europe, 8 in Africa (Botswana, Algeria, and others), seven were in the Caribbean (Grenada, Saint Lucia, Aruba, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Saint Lucia, and the US Virgin Islands), 4 in Oceania (Micronesia, Guam, Kiribati, and New Caledonia), and Canada and the US. Thus, the lowering fertility rate leads to a considerable increase in demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) services, where egg donation is an integral part of determining the fertility window in females.

Speak to AnalystReport Segmentation and Scope:
The “Egg Donation Market” is segmented based on type, service provider, and geography. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into fresh and frozen. The market is categorized into hospitals, fertility clinics, and others based on the service provider. The egg donation market, based on geography is segmented into North America (US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, UK, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (Australia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific), Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Rest of Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of South & Central America).
Segmental Analysis:
The egg donation market is based on the type bifurcated into fresh and frozen. The frozen egg segment held the largest share of the market in 2022, and fresh eggs are projected to register the highest CAGR in the market from 2022 to 2030. Fresh eggs are retrieved and immediately fertilized by semen in the laboratory. Once they grow for five days into the blastocyst stage, they are implanted into a woman’s uterus. Fresh eggs have been used for decades in IVF treatment with considerable success. One big benefit of a fresh embryo transfer is that it reduces the process of getting pregnant (if the procedure is successful). This advantage of fresh eggs will likely positively impact the fresh egg segment's growth. With the procedure's high success rate on the first attempt, As the procedure can also be performed in complicated pregnancy cases, the fresh egg segment is expected to hold a significant share of the egg donation market.
The egg donation market is segmented into hospitals, fertility clinics, and others based on the service provider. In 2022, the fertility clinics segment held the largest egg donation market share, and the same segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. Fertility clinics refer to the medical facility that assists couples to achieve the state pregnancy, who are facing challenges to achieve it naturally. The centers offer various treatments and procedures to treat infertility among couples. The global health system is witnessing significant spending on infertility treatments. For instance, per the data published in the International Medical Travel Journal in April 2019, Chinese couples spend around US$ 8.0 Bn annually on in-vitro fertilization. This extensively growing treatment spending generates lucrative opportunities for new fertility centers worldwide. In April 2019, Manson Group, a Hong Kong-based fertility services provider, planned to open offshore fertility centers for Chinese couples. In addition, fertility services providers are focusing on implementing in-organic strategies such as acquisitions and partnerships to expand the boundaries of business operations. For instance, in July 2020, Spring Fertility, a US-based collaborated with Genesis Fertility Center, a Canada-based fertility services provider. Such activities are estimated to positively impact the growth of the fertility centers segment during the forecast period. Thus, the abovementioned factors are likely to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Based on geography, the egg donation market is divided into five key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America will likely capture a significant global market share in 2022. The market growth in North America is attributed to the rising number of fertility clinics, the rising incidence of infertility, and Infertility Services with Government Support. In addition, a rising number of market players are expanding their geographical footprint in North American countries.
The US is the largest and fastest-growing market for egg donation. The egg donation market is anticipated to exhibit significant market growth during the forecast period due to a rise in infertility rate, an increase in the trend of late pregnancies, and a surge in IVF success rate. IVF is one of the widely used treatments that assisted couples with infertility problems, single mothers, and the LGBT community to procreate. Moreover, the rise in popularity of IVF in the U.S., growth in the technological advancements in IVF treatment, delayed pregnancy trends, practices of embryo banking cycles, and low rate of fertility are expected to make way for the expansion of the U.S. egg donation market.
There is an increase in the rate of infertility across the country due to delayed pregnancy. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 10% (6.1 million) of women in the US ages 15-44 have struggled to get pregnant or stay pregnant.
The market growth is also expected due to the insured cost of the procedure by health insurance. A single in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle costs between US$ 10 000 to US$ 15,000. Depending upon the health insurance. As per CDC's 2019 data, ~6% of married women ages 15 years to 44 years cannot conceive. Therefore, it is expected that the majority of people seek infertility treatment. Thus, health insurance significantly helps couples to get treatment and conceive their infants.
Further, strategic activities by the market players will propel the growth in the review period. For instance, in Feb 2021, TMRW Life Sciences (TMRW) announced the launching of the world's first automated cryo specimen management solution for embryos and eggs used in in vitro fertilization (IVF). TMRW's proprietary platform has been installed in multiple premier fertility clinics in the U.S., launching the modern era of integrated, software-enabled management of the millions of eggs and embryos central to modern IVF.
Moreover, in Aug 2020, Canadian startup company Future Fertility commercially launched a product that provides a new solution in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Their newly marketed product, Violet, is a cloud-based software that assesses the probability of an oocyte (human egg) successfully fertilizing and reaching a blastocyst embryo stage. Violet, an AI-based image technology optimized through scientific collaborations with several in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics worldwide, analyzes 2-D images of a patient's eggs in real time. Until now, no method has been accepted to grade an egg or predict its reproductive potential visually. Toronto-based TRIO Fertility is the first IVF clinic in Canada to implement Future Fertility's Violet technology.
Thus, the market will likely grow significantly during the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.
