Vitrolife

Products for assisted reproduction

Vitrolife is a Swedish medtech company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing products used in In Vitro Fertilsation (IVF). Vitrolife offers its customers a wide range of products and solutions, including culture media, disposable products and capital equipment products. Vitrolife is a global company, with sales in some 110 countries.

The main opportunity for Vitrolife would be a stronger than expected demand for the company’s products driven by demographics. Secondly, a more favourable economic outlook in general may help to drive demand for Vitrolife’s products in markets not covered by government subsidies.

We note a number of risk factors for Vitrolife, including market risk, competition, legal and regulatory risk, product development risk, and currency and macroeconomic risk.
