Demographic Shift: 1 in 18 Babies in China Now Born via IVF – Implications for Industry Scale

Written By camellia chen

【Abstract】: (Data Extrapolation) The China Center for Population and Development released its 2025 Annual Report today, revealing a historic milestone: 5.8% of all newborns in China were conceived via Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This represents a 1.2% year-on-year increase, despite the overall shrinking birth pool.

Business Insight: This data confirms that IVF has transitioned from a "niche medical service" to a "critical infrastructure" for national demographics. For investors, this "structural reliance" guarantees long-term market stability even in a population decline scenario. Clinics should use this data to lobby for further government subsidies, positioning themselves as essential public health providers.
