 IVF and Indian
06
Economy
 India has over 2,500 fertility clinics and the
second-largest number of cycles of
treatment after the US. The growth has been
fuelled by private equity investors. India's
IVF market is projected to expand from
$793m in 2020 to $3,722m by 2030, with a
CAGR of 16.5%. The new Assisted
Reproduction Technology Act, which came
into effect in 2020, has made the industry
more attractive to corporate investors.

IVF in Low Income
countries
 Despite isolated efforts to simplify IVF in
poor-resource countries, costs of treatment
can be as much as 200% of a country’s GDP
per capita. Such costs represent ‘significant
inequalities’ of access to ART in low-income
countries and a denial of access for most
people.
