Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the In-vitro Fertilization Microscopes Market

The COVID-19 pandemic led to severe disruptions that have affected the demand, supply, import-export, and availability of microscopes across end-use industries. Microscope is commonly used to view different types of cells, analyze clinical specimens, and to scan nanomaterials. For instance, in IVF treatment, microscopes are used to assess ova selection, pre-treatment of ova by means of IVF techniques, and for manipulation. However, the microscopes industry was worst hit during the pandemic as the sales of healthcare sector microscopes sales was drastically reduced. This has in turn affected the In-vitro fertilization microscope market demand in the healthcare sector. All these factors have negatively affected the In-vitro fertilization microscopes market growth during the pandemic.

However, the post COVID-19 impact on in-vitro fertilization microscope market increased demand for IVF procedures that is being driven by the relaxation of travel restrictions and supportive government policies. For example, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) stated that there is need to ensure reproductive care with the highest level of safety as people have to  continue to live with COVID-19.

Global In-vitro Fertilization Microscopes Market Analysis

The increase in disposable income has increased the use of IVF techniques. Couples who choose IVF treatment are typically middle-aged and have stable financial circumstances. Despite the high cost of the cycle and medications, the higher success rate of IVF treatment attracts infertile couples to undergo the procedure. For example, according to data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China's per capita disposable income in 2021 increased to $12,554.646, up from $10,409.993 in December 2020. Furthermore, governments and private-sector organizations offer favorable reimbursement schemes for infertility treatments. For example, the Australian government provides reimbursements for IVF cycles that cover patients' unlimited access to IVF treatment. These are the major factors anticipated to boost the In-vitro fertilization microscope market share during the forecast period.

However, the use of IVF services is constrained by side effects such as multiple pregnancies and birth problems related to the procedure. The number of embryos that are transferred determines the success rates of IVF, which might result in numerous pregnancies. Multiple pregnancies can lead to high blood pressure and delivery-related issues. Furthermore, a child may suffer from a variety of health issues as a result of multiple pregnancies, including low birth weight and premature birth. Furthermore, one of the potential risks associated with IVF treatment is ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when the embryo implants outside of the woman's womb, potentially resulting in life-threatening situations. These factors limit the adoption of IVF procedures and hinder the In-vitro fertilization microscopes market growth.

However, product developments are improving therapy effectiveness and are anticipated to lower procedure costs. One of the most significant developments in the industry is the improvement of microscopic examination quality through high contrast and improvements in IVF microscope-related equipment. A microscope and `camera are built into the incubation system in the time-lapse embryo monitoring system, allowing for non-invasive microscopic observation of the embryo at predetermined time intervals. In an effort to speed up the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) technique, Olympus Corporation and Jikei University School of Medicine developed an AI-assisted sperm selection process in March 2019. These are the major factors anticipated to boost the In-vitro fertilization microscopes market share during the forecast period.

Global In-vitro Fertilization Microscopes Market, Segmentation

The in-vitro fertilization microscope market is segmented on the basis of type, end user, and region.

Type:

The type segment is further classified into upright microscope, inverted microscope, stereo microscope, and embryo microscope. Among these, the embryo microscope segment accounted for highest market share in 2021. Embryo microscope is a new type of incubator that allows the embryologist to monitor embryo cell divisions while the embryos are still in the incubator. The incubator has a built-in camera that can take pictures of the embryos at timed intervals. In addition, important embryo assessments and images are generated while the embryos remain undisturbed in the incubator's optimal conditions.

End-user:

The end user segment is further divided into clinical and academic research. Among these, the clinical segment accounted for highest market share in 2021. The category is primarily driven by two factors: increasing public knowledge of IVF treatment and private investors' involvement in fertility clinics. The services provided by IVF facilities include finding healthy oocytes, sperm analysis, ICSI, monitoring embryos, and freezing & preserving embryos. IVF clinics are getting more and more cash from private investors as they develop products for use in IVF facilities. In November 2019, the fertility technology company Mojo received funding of roughly USD 1.6 million. In order to improve sperm sampling by focusing on speed, sperm count, and morphology, the company is developing a system that combines AI software and microscopy tools.

Region:

The In-vitro fertilization microscope market in Asia-Pacific is projected to show the fastest growth during the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow rapidly due to significant factors such as increased knowledge and availability of IVF services. The clinic's demand for microscopes is being driven by two major factors: the presence of a large population, and growing knowledge of IVF. Furthermore, according to the CNY fertility report for 2021, IVF treatment in India can cost between $1,317 and $4,610 per cycle, with medications ranging from $800 to $1000. Furthermore, higher age limits and relaxed fertility regulations, combined with lower costs, are expected to drive IVF services in India. Furthermore, some countries, such as Germany and Italy, do not allow donor egg IVF, so patients prefer to travel to Asia, where donor egg IVF is permitted. As a result, patients prefer lower-cost fertility destinations, opening up new opportunities for the growth of the Asia-Pacific In-vitro Fertilization Microscope market.
