In its Q2 2025 interim report, Vitrolife AB (publ) described sales development in local currencies across EMEA, Americas and APAC and provided separate growth figures for Consumables, Technologies and Genetics.

Vitrolife AB (publ) has also communicated strategic steps that relate to its role in reproductive health. In 2025, the company announced that it had become a leading investor in AutoIVF, an early-stage MedTech company whose stated aim is to make IVF more accessible, affordable and efficient.

The agreement is described as being backed by Nordic banks, with Nordea and SEB renewing their commitments and AB Svensk Exportkredit joining as a new lender.
