According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Surrogacy Market is accounted for $210.34 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $362.82 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. A surrogate woman bears and gives birth to a child on behalf of another person or couple in a reproductive arrangement known as surrogacy. When conventional conception is difficult or impossible due to medical conditions, this assisted reproductive technology is used. Moreover, the two main forms of surrogacy are gestational surrogacy, in which the surrogate carries an embryo fertilized by in vitro fertilization (IVF), usually using the genetic material of the intended parents or donors, and traditional surrogacy, in which the surrogate contributes her egg.

According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), one in four couples in developing nation’s experiences infertility. Additionally, 60–80 million couples worldwide suffer from infertility each year, with 15–20 million (25%) residing in India alone.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Raising awareness and acceptance

Growing awareness campaigns and a more candid conversation about fertility issues in society are supporting surrogacy's growing acceptance as a legal and compassionate reproductive option. Additionally, advocacy groups, internet forums, and educational programs help dispel the stigmas surrounding surrogacy and create a more encouraging atmosphere for single people and couples dealing with infertility.

Restraint:

Limited number of surrogates available

The surrogacy market is significantly constrained by the lack of willing and suitable surrogates. The process of matching intended parents with surrogates can be delayed when appropriate candidates who fulfill both medical and psychological requirements are difficult to find. Furthermore, social stigmas, worries about potential health hazards, or the rigorous requirements of the surrogacy procedure could all contribute to this shortage.

Opportunity:

Technological progress in reproductive health

Significant opportunities exist for the surrogacy market as a result of ongoing technological advancements in reproductive medicine, such as advances in genetic testing, embryo screening, and artificial reproductive techniques. Moreover, for intended parents, surrogacy is becoming a more practical and cost-effective option thanks to increased success rates, improved embryo selection, and the development of more advanced fertility treatments.

Threat:

Regulation changes and legal uncertainties

Diverse legal frameworks for surrogacy across different jurisdictions present a serious risk to the surrogacy industry. Additionally, swift alterations in laws or legal ambiguities could pose difficulties for surrogacy organizations, intended parents, and surrogates, resulting in possible legal conflicts and complications that could hinder the orderly advancement of surrogacy agreements.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on the surrogacy market and brought difficulties and disturbances to the assisted reproductive sector. Travel restrictions and lockdowns brought on by the pandemic have hindered the international mobility of intended parents, surrogates, and healthcare providers participating in the surrogacy process. There has been a brief decrease in surrogacy procedures due to ongoing health concerns, clinic closures, and delays in fertility treatments. Furthermore, the pandemic's effects on the economy could have an impact on intended parents' ability to afford surrogacy services.

The Gestational Surrogacy segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

As the most common and favored method of assisted reproduction, gestational surrogacy commands the largest share of the market. When a person is used in a gestational surrogacy, their eggs and sperm from donors or the intended parents are used to create an embryo through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This approach provides more emotional and legal clarity by severing genetic ties between the surrogate and the child. Moreover, reproductive technology advancements have made gestational surrogacy more widely recognized as a more controlled and predictable process.

The Fertility Clinics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In the surrogacy market, the segment with the highest CAGR is fertility clinics. These specialist clinics, which provide a range of cutting-edge reproductive services, are essential in tackling the growing incidence of infertility. Fertility clinics offer thorough diagnostic evaluations, state-of-the-art assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF), and individualized treatment programs made to meet each patient's or couple's specific needs. Additionally, the demand for the services provided by fertility clinics has increased due to rising societal acceptance of ART and increased awareness of fertility issues.

Region with largest share:

In the global surrogacy market, North America holds the largest share. Because of its sophisticated healthcare system, high level of awareness, and large investments in reproductive technologies, this region—which includes the United States and Canada—dominates. The high demand for fertility services is partly due to the cultural acceptance of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and the prevalence of infertility problems. Moreover, North America's status as a major player in the reproductive healthcare industry is further cemented by the region's concentration of top fertility clinics, research institutes, and technological developments in the field.

Region with highest CAGR:

In terms of the global market for surrogacy, the Asia-Pacific region has the highest CAGR. The demand for reproductive services in Asia-Pacific is driven by the rising prevalence of infertility as well as increased understanding and acceptance of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The region's rapid growth is caused by a number of factors, including evolving lifestyles, postponing family planning, and improvements in reproductive health. Furthermore, expanding fertility treatments and better healthcare infrastructure in Asia-Pacific nations support the market's growth.
