Fertility Clinics in Australia industry analysis

According to the Fertility Society of Australia, one-in-six Australian couples face infertility issues. The Fertility Clinics industry assists patients who are having difficulty with or inability to conceive naturally. The industry includes numerous treatment options, the most popular being in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. Several factors have driven demand for fertility treatments and procedures in recent years, particularly from women who are having children later in life. Australia is one of the few economically advanced countries in the world that have significant government funding for fertility treatments, which makes industry treatments more affordable.

Trends and Insights

  • A rising maternal age and increasing ancillary services have boosted fertility clinics’ revenue growth. New technologies and more frozen embryo use are improving fertility success rates, aiding growth.
  • Fertility clinics mainly carry out In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles and their variants, alongside other fertility services. Medicare funding for eligible patients is available for core assisted reproductive treatments, although most procedures also incur out-of-pocket expenses.
  • The eastern states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland dominate industry activity. This is due to high population levels, a greater number of fertility clinics and higher IVF usage rates.
  • Fertility clinics tend to operate and compete on a regional basis. Patients usually prefer to attend local facilities due to time and travel convenience.
