Pre-IPO IVF Hospital Management Group – The Industry, the Business and the Risks Behind
- IVF Hospital’s profitability and growth momentum look good at this stage, but the Company is still in early stage of development, with obvious gap with leading players in the industry.
- IVF penetration rate in China is not high and the rate of improvement is slow. With public hospitals accounting for over 90% market share, IVF Hospital’s growth space is limited.
- Licensing is a big barrier for development, slowing down the pace of nationwide expansion. The “good story” should be based on internationalization, which is actually the weakness of IVF Hospital.
