Sperm Count Test Market size was over USD 2.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2037, growing at around 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of sperm count test is assessed at USD 2.39 billion.
The growth of the market can be accounted to factors, such as, rising cases of infertility in males, convenient access to fertility care, and others. According to data released by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, it was stated that 186 million individuals of the global population have infertility, meanwhile, 48 million couples suffer from infertility. Furthermore, an average sperm count is estimated to be between about 15 to 200 million sperm per mL of semen, however, this density can be lowered due to many factors, such as, smoking, obesity, alcohol consumption, and others. Such habits are responsible to reduce testosterone levels required for monitoring the production of the sperms. A report published by Harvard University demonstrated the fact that obese men showed low sperm count, and 81% more likely to produce no sperm. Additionally, a higher prevalence of obesity is observed in the global population in recent decades. Such factors are estimated to boost the sperm count test market growth.

Regionally, the global sperm count test market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa region. Europe industry is predicted to dominate majority revenue share by 2037, on the back of rising advancements in technology, to provide a required facility in the male infertility treatment and diagnostics field. Additionally, a large number of significant market key players are present in the Europe region. A report published by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) showed that 7.5% of European men have infertility due to lower sperm density.
Furthermore, the global sperm count test market is also projected to grow in North America region over the forecast period owing to the higher prevalence of male infertility. Other factors, such as, late childbearing owing to delayed marriage, advanced education, and growing cases of obesity are accounted for low sperm density. A report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2019 showed that there were 489 fertility clinics that perform ART in the United States. These are the major factors to provide significant opportunities to grow at a larger scale for the global sperm count test market over the forecast period.
