The global fertility test market is projected to reach USD 583.1 million by 2023 from USD 411.8 million in 2018, at a CAGR of 7.2%. Growth in the fertility test market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing first-time pregnancy age in women, declining fertility rate among men and women, growing number of women suffering from disorders such as PCOS, emergence of advanced ovulation monitors, and increased awareness of fertility testing in both developed as well as developing countries. On the other hand, the unproven accuracy of urine-based ovulation monitors in women suffering from PCOS and the lesser precision to confirm ovulation using ovulation prediction kits are the factors that are expected to restrain market growth to a certain extent during the forecast year.
