Delayed Onset of Pregnancies

Delayed pregnancies, in many cases, leads to pregnancy-associated complications and increase the chance of infertility. It has been estimated that the global average fertility rate, currently is around 2.5%, and a major reason attributed to this is the delayed pregnancies among women. The personal choices of women related to career growth, self-stability, and financial stability has contributed to late pregnancies worldwide.

Social stigma in many countries like India, China, and others have restrained women from choosing IVF. Though a legal framework is in-place to address these issues in countries like Canada, France, and Germany, the United Kingdom & Finland, Mexico, Poland, etc. depend on official guidelines. In most of the countries, the legislation applies to each step of the process, from whether a person is allowed to be treated in the first instance, to the time embryos can be stored in artificial storage. Ethical and legal issues are the major restraining factors in the growth of the global IVF market. The complications associated with in-vitro fertilizations also hinders the market growth.
