Surrogacy Global Market Report 2025

Description

Surrogacy constitutes a reproductive arrangement where a designated woman, referred to as the surrogate mother, undergoes the process of carrying and delivering a child on behalf of another individual or couple. This method stands as a crucial facet of assisted reproductive technology, offering a practical alternative for individuals or couples facing challenges in natural conception or carrying a pregnancy to full term.

The primary classifications of surrogacy include gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, a woman, identified as the gestational surrogate, carries and delivers a baby for another individual or couple. This reproductive arrangement commonly involves advanced technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) without intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and intrauterine insemination. These technologies find application in fertility clinics, surrogacy agencies, and are integral to the services provided by surrogacy lawyers.

The surrogacy market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.01 billion in 2024 to $19.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing infertility cases, gestational surrogacy dominance, regional market growth, age group adoption, legal and regulatory frameworks.

The surrogacy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to changing social perceptions, partnerships and collaborations, reproductive technology advancements, ethical and legal complexities, recovery post-pandemic. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in medical technology, cultural sensitivity, technological advancements, diversity in family structures, advancements in genetic testing.

The rising rates of infertility are anticipated to drive the growth of the surrogacy market in the coming years. Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Surrogacy offers an alternative for individuals or couples who are unable to conceive naturally or carry a pregnancy to term. For example, in April 2023, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that approximately 17.5% of adults worldwide-about 1 in 6 individuals-experience infertility, highlighting the urgent need to improve access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those in need. Consequently, the increasing rates of infertility are fueling the growth of the surrogacy market.

Major companies are strategically focusing on the development of innovative products to support surrogates and their families throughout the surrogacy journey. An example of this is surrogacy.com, a community and platform launched by Northstar Fertility, a US-based egg donor and fertility service provider, in November 2023. This platform, created by experienced surrogates, provides firsthand knowledge, candid insights, and a connection to a community and tools essential for successfully navigating the surrogacy process.

In August 2022, kindbody, a US-based fertility and family-building care provider, executed a strategic acquisition, acquiring Alternative Reproductive Resources (ARR) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Kindbody to internalize gestational surrogacy, integrating it into the care delivery model to enhance conception chances, reduce costs, and provide a seamless patient care continuum. Alternative Reproductive Resources, a US-based surrogacy agency specializing in gestational surrogacy, was a notable addition to Kindbody's portfolio.
