セーフ・ファーティリティ・グループ(SAFE)は、創業20周年を迎えたことを機に、「The Next Chapter of Fertility」というコンセプトの下で企業の方向性を発表した。創業者で最高経営責任者のウィワット・クワンカナヌラック医師によると、同社は家族ケアの基盤を現在の4万世帯から、今後3~5年以内に5万世帯へ拡大することを目標とし、あわせて収入を年平均10~15%成長させることを目指す。主要戦略は、若い世代が卵子凍結や精子凍結、遺伝子検査を利用するようになったことによるプリザーブ市場とプリベント市場の成長、そして現在同社の全患者の50%を占める外国人患者の基盤を新たな市場へ拡大することの二つである。このコンセプトは三つの側面を網羅する。すなわち、健康とホルモンの検査を通じた準備のプレペア、卵子・精子凍結技術による選択肢としての治療のプリザーブ、そして遺伝性疾患の総合的なスクリーニング検査を通じた事前予防のプリベントである。同社はまた、ネクスト・ジェネレーション・ジェノミック有限会社の下で遺伝子解析検査ラボラトリー事業へと事業を拡大している。今後5~10年の長期的な視点で、SAFEはタイを、地域全体の家族が信頼を寄せる地域生殖医療ハブへと押し上げることを目標としている。
