The artificial fertilization of an ovum in a laboratory setting to be later implanted into the uterus is termed as in-vitro fertilization.

The key driving factor for the IVF devices and consumables market is the rising infertility rate, worldwide. In developing nations, one in every four couples is affected by infertility. As per the World Bank, the fertility rate came down to 2.4 in 2015 from 4.7 in 1970. Smoking, which has a negative impact on health, is a major cause of infertility. Smoking reduces the chances of pregnancy in women by 50.0%. The Human Reproduction Journal of the Oxford Press said that about 7.7 million women will be diagnosed with infertility by 2025.
