Changing lifestyles, evolving career aspirations and shifting societal norms are redefining the timing of parenthood. Fertility services are now at the forefront of this transformation, offering crucial support to individuals— from couples struggling with infertility to single women and the LGBTQ community who are eager to become parents. Addressing diverse family planning needs, it empowers people to build families in ways that align with their unique circumstances and aspirations.
According to reports, the fertility services market valued at $ 42.23 billion in 2023 is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.50 percent from 2023 to 2030.

For example, egg freezing allows women to preserve their fertility, offering them the flexibility to pursue career goals or delay pregnancy without compromising their future reproductive potential.
