Early Findings

Data Availability

Market Size

  • According to a February 2021 report, the global market size of the overall fertility market was valued at $33.1 billion in 2020.
  • This same report revealed that 35% of the market share corresponded to North America. This would mean that the region is responsible for approximately $11.8 billion of the market size.
  • While it is established that the United States has the largest share in this region, the specific market size is not provided.

Apps and Wearables

Nutragenomics in the United States

  • A company offering nutragenomics testing in the context of fertility and reproductive health in the United States is Nutragenomix.

Online Communities

Summary

  • While the overall fertility market size for the region could be calculated, information specific to the market size in the United States was only available behind paywalls or according to different sectors of the market (e.g. testing, IVF. clinics). Additional information segmented by sector can be provided with additional hours of research.
  • Total addressable market was not readily available during this initial hour of research. We did not have time to perform a calculation to provide this number. This could be achieved with additional hours of research.
  • We used this initial hour of research to assess the availability of the information, while information is available regarding the major players of other areas of the fertility market (e.g. fertility kits, IVF), we did not have sufficient time to provide this data. Additional hours of research are required to do so.
  • While we were able to find information regarding the use of apps and wearables, the presence of large online communities for fertility support, as well as demographic statistics in the context of ART use, we did not have enough time to provide additional data. This could be achieved with further hours of research.
  • There is limited information regarding the use of nutrigenomics in the United States specific to the area of fertility. However, additional nutrigenomic companies offering their general services in the country could be provided with continued hours of research.
  • A United States focus was assumed. If a different geographic focus is preferred, please clearly communicate it to us in any reply.
