About Japan's Fertility Market. Japan is a key market for Spermosens, not only because of its size but also due to its significant growth in fertility treatments. In 2021, more than 498,000 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles were performed, marking an 11% increase, while nearly 68,000 babies were born through IVF (+15%). Despite the high average age of IVF patients (38-39 years), Japan's public health insurance has covered fertility treatments since 2022, contributing to improved accessibility. However, success rates remain relatively low, at around 14%.
