The global FemTech sector, valued at approximately R750 billion in 2024, is projected to reach R1.86 trillion by 2030, with fertility services playing a major role in this growth. The fertility market alone is expected to nearly double, reaching an estimated R793 billion by 2026. Among its offerings, Next Biosciences now provides Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), which presents a safer alternative to traditional invasive procedures.
