Egypt
In-Vitro Fertilization Market is expected to grow at an impressive rate during
the forecast period, 2024-2028. The major factors
include increasing cases of infertility in the country, improved success rates
of in-vitro fertilization, changes in regulatory bodies for promoting the
treatment practices and making in-vitro fertilization a safer practice across
the country.
In Egypt, In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technique is used
to assist individuals and couples in achieving pregnancy. IVF involves the
fertilization of an egg by sperm outside the human body, in a laboratory
setting. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus for
implantation and subsequent development.. IVF is also used in some cases where
one or both partners have a genetic disorder that could be passed on to their
offspring.
In
vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that involves fertilizing an
egg outside the body, in a laboratory dish, and then transferring the resulting
embryo back into the uterus. IVF is used as a form of assisted reproductive
technology (ART) to help individuals and couples who are struggling with
infertility, or who have certain medical conditions that make it difficult to
conceive naturally. The IVF process involves
multiple steps. In IVF, the woman undergoes a series of fertility medications
to stimulate the ovaries and increase the number of eggs produced. These eggs
are then retrieved from the woman's ovaries using a minor surgical procedure,
and they are placed in a laboratory dish with sperm from the male partner or a
donor. The eggs and sperm are allowed to fertilize in the laboratory dish, and
the resulting embryos are monitored for several days to ensure that they are
developing properly. After a few days, one or more embryos are selected and
transferred back into the woman's uterus using a catheter. Any remaining embryos can be frozen and stored for later
use. After the embryo transfer, the woman will be monitored closely for
signs of pregnancy. If the procedure is
successful, the embryo will implant in the uterine lining, and the woman will
go on to have a normal pregnancy. If the procedure is not successful,
additional IVF cycles may be attempted.
However,
the success rates for IVF vary depending on a variety of factors, including the
age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos to
be implanted through the technique.
Rising
cases of genetic disorders among the parents
The
rising cases of genetic disorders among parents in Egypt have had a significant
impact on the demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Genetic
disorders are inherited conditions that can be caused by mutations in one or
more genes, and they can lead to a range of health problems, including
developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and physical impairments. In
some cases, genetic disorders can be life-threatening. Egypt has a relatively high incidence of genetic disorders, including
thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis. This is due in part to a high rate of consanguineous marriages, or marriages
between close relatives, which can increase the likelihood of passing on inherited
genetic disorders. As a result of these
high rates of genetic disorders, many couples in Egypt are turning to IVF as a
solution to reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders to their children. Moreover, one of the biggest challenges in IVF is selecting
the embryos that are most likely to result in a successful pregnancy. In
recent years, there have been significant advances in embryo selection
techniques, such as pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT), which allows for
the screening of embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are implanted
and thereby increases chances for successful In-vitro fertilization and thus
supports the In-vitro fertilization market growth in the country.

Increasing
use of frozen embryos
In
earlier times, fresh embryos were generally preferred for IVF procedures.
However, in recent times, there has been a shift toward using frozen embryos, which
can be thawed and implanted anytime later. This approach has been shown to be
just as effective as using fresh embryos, and it also allows for more
flexibility in timing and scheduling. This has led to an increased chances
among people to adopt in-vitro fertilization. These frozen embryos are
created through IVF procedures and then stored in cryopreservation until they are
needed for transfer in a later cycle. There are several benefits of using frozen embryos in IVF procedures.
As a very first step frozen embryos can be thawed and transferred later,
allowing for better timing and planning of IVF cycles. The frozen embryos can
often result in higher success rates than fresh embryos, as they have had more
time to develop and implant in the uterus. Furthermore, the frozen embryos can
help to reduce the cost of IVF treatment, as couples can use embryos from a previous
cycle without the need for additional ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval.
Moreover, the use of frozen embryos has become increasingly common in Egypt in
recent years, due to improvements in cryopreservation technology and rising awareness
of the benefits of frozen embryo transfer. Also, several IVF clinics in Egypt
now offer frozen embryo transfer as a suitable option for couples undergoing IVF treatment. The
use of frozen embryos has helped to increase the success rates of IVF
procedures in Egypt, particularly for couples who have had previous failed
cycles or who have difficulty producing a sufficient number of eggs for fresh
embryo transfer. Additionally, the use of frozen embryos can help to reduce the
cost of IVF treatment and make the procedure more accessible to couples who may
not be able to afford multiple cycles of fresh IVF and thereby creating more
demand for in-vitro fertilization and improving efficiency of Egypt’s in-vitro fertilization
market in the coming years.
Use
of artificial intelligence (AI)
Artificial
intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field with numerous applications in
various industries, including healthcare. In Egypt, AI has been increasingly
used in the medical field to improve patient care and outcomes, particularly in
the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Some clinics are now using AI and
machine learning algorithms to help optimize IVF procedures. For instance, the
use of AI in IVF in the use of machine learning algorithms to predict embryo
viability. Traditional methods of assessing embryo viability involve visual
inspection of the embryos under a microscope, which can be subjective and may
result in human error. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large datasets
of embryo images and identify patterns that are associated with viable embryos.
This can help clinicians select the best embryos for transfer and increase the
chances of a successful pregnancy. These algorithms can analyze large amounts
of data to identify patterns and predict outcomes, helping to improve success
rates and reduce the number of cycles needed to achieve a successful pregnancy. Additionally, the impact of AI on IVF
in Egypt has been significant with improving the accuracy of embryo selection
and predicting patient outcomes, AI has helped increase the success rate of IVF
and reduce the time and cost associated with the procedure. This has made IVF
more accessible to a wider range of patients, including those who may not have
been able to afford it in the past.
Rising Female Infertility in Egypt
The rising incidence of female infertility in Egypt has had a
significant impact on the demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures in
the country. Female infertility can be caused by a range of factors, including
hormonal imbalances, ovulatory disorders, and structural problems in the
reproductive system. There are several reasons for the increasing incidence of
female infertility in Egypt. A major factor is the prevalence of early marriage
and childbearing in the country, which can increase the risk of infertility due
to underdeveloped reproductive system. Additionally, factors such as
obesity, stress, and environmental toxins, etc. also contribute to female
infertility and therefore are majorly affecting the fertility of women in the
country. Due to several health issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS),etc. are resulting problems leading to issues
related to egg implantation, and thus many women in Egypt are turning to IVF as a
way to overcome infertility and start a family. IVF procedures can involve a
range of techniques, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval,
fertilization in a laboratory, and embryo transfer. These procedures can help
to bypass or overcome many of the factors that contribute to female
infertility. Furthermore, the rising demand for IVF procedures in Egypt has led
to an expansion of IVF clinics and services in the country.
Changing IVF Laws
In 2017, the Egyptian government passed a new law governing assisted
reproduction and surrogacy, which aimed to regulate the use of IVF and other
forms of assisted reproduction in the country. The new law states
formation of a national committee to oversee IVF clinics and ensure that they
are complying with ethical and medical standards. The law also allowed for the
use of donor sperm and eggs in IVF procedures, which was previously prohibited
in Egypt. These changes to the IVF laws in Egypt have had a positive impact on
the availability of IVF procedures for couples struggling with infertility. By
allowing for the use of donor sperm and eggs, the law has expanded the pool of
potential donors and increased the chances of success for IVF procedures.
Additionally, the establishment of the national committee has helped to improve
the quality and safety of IVF clinics in Egypt, by ensuring that they are operating
under medical and ethical standards. This has further helped to increase public
confidence in the safety and effectiveness of IVF procedures in the country.
However, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed to
ensure that all couples in Egypt have access to IVF procedures. For example,
the cost of IVF can still be prohibitively expensive for some couples, and
there is a need for greater public education and awareness around infertility
and IVF treatment options.
