The surrogacy market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the surrogacy market has seen significant expansion over the last few years. A surge from $16.01 billion in 2024 to $19.42 billion in 2025 is projected, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%.
The historical growth period's expansion is likely due to factors such as a rise in infertility instances, the prevalence of gestational surrogacy, regional market development, adoption by various age groups, and the influence of legal and regulatory frameworks.
The surrogacy market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for surrogacy is anticipated to experience swift expansion in the following years, reaching $37.5 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9%.
This growth during the prediction period can be linked to shifting societal attitudes, alliances, and partnerships, progressive reproductive techniques, ethical and legal intricacies, and recuperation from the global pandemic. Key trends during this future period entail progress in medical technology, cultural sensibility, technological progression, diversity in familial structures, and advancements in genetic testing.
The surrogacy market is anticipated to grow due to rising infertility rates. Infertility is characterized as the inability to conceive despite having unprotected sexual intercourse consistently for a year or more. Surrogacy offers a route for individuals or couples who are unable or find it challenging to conceive naturally or sustain a pregnancy until birth. For example, in April 2023, data from the World Health Organization, an intergovernmental organisation based in Switzerland, suggested that nearly 17.5% of the adult population worldwide, or about 1 in 6 individuals, are grappling with infertility. This highlights the urgent need for improving access to quality, affordable fertility care for those in need. Consequently, the surge in infertility rates is fueling the expansion of the surrogacy market.
