The fertility clinics market is a growing sector, with emerging trends such as social egg freezing and increasing interest in women’s health. While consolidation in the sector has continued at pace, pockets of opportunity remain for new platform development. PMSI shares its insights on the market and the potential for private sector investment.
Our key insights:
- Traditional fertility services represent a maturing, predominantly IVF market, with demand underpinned by increasing maternal age and the rising prevalence of infertility; NHS funding for IVF cycles has been declining due to growing funding pressures, further driving a private-pay market
- Notably, the emerging ‘social’ egg freezing market is growing double-digit, driven by increasing awareness of infertility, Covid-related delays, technological improvements and recent regulatory changes
- In the UK, uptake of egg storage is concentrated amongst financially resilient, London-based consumers, and is increasingly being served by larger clinic chains, able to invest in marketing and with strong brand reputation
- There is an active M&A market in the fertility space, as private equity and venture capital look to bring further scale through bolt-on acquisitions, while also driving organic growth via operational synergies
