Vitrification Market Growth Driven by Advancements in Cryopreservation Technologies
The global vitrification market size is expected to reach USD 24.25 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.09% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The development of vitrification was spurred by advancements in fertility preservation procedures. This innovative technology provides specimen preservation solutions that not only shorten preservation time but also reduce exposure to cryoprotectants. This has accelerated the adoption of vitrification devices, resulting in the market's profitable revenue growth. Delaying parenthood is primarily coupled with sociodemographic aspects, including career/education goals, the rising influence of women’s empowerment movements, lack of a partner, and financial barriers, which are the primary reasons for driving the market growth. Several studies have reported a lack of a suitable partner as the most common reason for not having a child till the age of 30 to 40 years.
In addition, as per a CDC report, in the U.S., the average age of women having their first child has increased over previous decades. Moreover, a CDC report titled National Health Statistics Report, published in January 2023, showed that the average age at first birth for women and men aged between 15 and 44 years in 2015–2019 was 23.7 & 26.4, respectively, which was higher than the average age at first birth for women and men in 2011–2015. In addition, the average age at first birth was found to be the highest for non-Hispanic Asian women, which was 28.4. This has increased the demand to preserve oocytes and sperm to address infertility issues at older ages and further propels the market growth. According to the CDC, around 6.1 million women in the U.S. aged between 15 and 44 years face issues staying or getting pregnant. Moreover, according to IVF Australia, around 16.66% of couples in Australia have infertility in their reproductive age.
