Artificial Insemination Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis By Type (Intracervical Insemination, Intrauterine Insemination, Intrauterine Tuboperitoneal Insemination, and Intratubal Insemination), By Source (Husband/Partner and Donor), By End-user (Hospitals, Fertility Centers, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Artificial insemination is a treatment for fertility in which sperm is delivered into a female's reproductive tract with the help of a syringe or catheter-like medical device. The source of the sperm can be the husband/partner or a known and anonymous donor. In recent years, artificial insemination has been the most common fertility treatment, and it is considered the first treatment by medical providers.

Furthermore, these treatments can be performed at home or a doctor's office. At-home artificial insemination (AI) is performed by the intravaginal insemination approach and involves delivering sperm into the vagina close to the cervix as possible. In contrast, at the doctor's office, AI is performed by intrauterine insemination with medication protocols, bloodwork, and ultrasound monitoring to track egg development.

The increasing prevalence of male infertility has fueled the demand for artificial insemination treatment. For instance, as per the article published by Elsevier in December 2020, infertility affects between 8% to 12% of couples across the world, with a male factor being a contributing or primary cause in approximately 50% of couples.

Moreover, the increasing prevalence of impaired spermatogenesis has increased the demand for treatment.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Artificial Insemination Market

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of artificial insemination procedures being conducted experienced a decline in the market. The market experienced a decline as the non-essential medical services were postponed and lockdown restrictions were imposed to control the spread of the virus.

• For instance, according to the study published by Lippincott Journals in 2020, ART centers were closed in 82.5% of countries or offered limited access for special circumstances from the period of March to May 2020.

However, in 2021, the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions by the government led to an increasing patient volume in fertility clinics, which has increased the procedures in the market.
