High Cost And Low Success Rate Of The IVF Treatment

Thousands of cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are performed every year, globally. However, the high cost of IVF procedures is a major factor that limits the adoption of IVF treatment. According to the Institute for Health Policy Studies, University of California, in the US, multiple births occur after 39% of IVF cycles, whereas in Europe, the figure is 26%.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) lists the average price of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in the US to be USD 12,400 where the average cost of an IVF cycle with the use of fresh embryos is USD 8,158, and the median cost is USD 7,500 in the US. Moreover, the cost of the treatment drugs is also high, at an estimated USD 3,000–USD 5000 per cycle.

In addition, the probability of birth following the treatment is comparatively low. The success rate of IVF treatments is just 28% to 35%, which decreases with the age of the woman. For example, the success rate is 32.2% for women under 35, 27.7% for women aged 35 to 37, 20.8% for women aged 38 to 39, 13.6% for women aged 40 to 42, 5% for women aged 43 to 44, and 1.9% for women aged over 44 (source: BabyCenter LLC and National Health Service, UK). Owing to this, couples have to undergo multiple IVF cycles, which adds up to the overall cost of the treatment.

The cost of IVF treatment varies from country to country due to lack of reimbursement policies. Additionally, insurance companies do not generally cover the cost of infertility treatments. According to the National Infertility Association, in the US, fertility treatment is covered by only 25% of insurance plans, and many of them do not cover the expenses for the IVF treatment. In India, IVF or infertility is not considered a health issue; hence, it is not covered under general insurance. Thus, the high cost of assisted reproductive techniques to treat infertility and the lack of insurance coverage for the treatment is restraining the growth of this market.
