Market Growth Factors
The surrogacy market is driven by the rising global incidence of infertility, growing public knowledge and acceptance of surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology option, governments' willingness to allow surrogacy contracts in various countries and to create a predictable legal system and protections for surrogacy participants, and increasing IVF technology efficacy. Increased acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights, as well as of the idea that homosexual couples are entitled to start a family, has also contributed towards the growth of the market, along with lower cost surrogacy in certain countries.
Market trends: Global surrogacy condemns trends such as the greater acceptance of gestational surrogacy, which makes up more than 90% of surrogacy, due to the genetic separation of surrogate and child, the success of ART, and decreased uncertainty in the legality of surrogacy in a country. Other market factors are differences in ethical, regulatory and legal practices globally and the rise of fertility tourism.
Acceptance of families with children born via surrogacy reduces cultural barriers and promotes demand. Some studies find that in some countries, professionals, such as lawyers, increasingly have positive attitudes. IVF with ICSI, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, and embryo selection have high success rates. The success rate for gestational surrogacy varies and is from 30% to 60% per embryo transfer. As reproductive technologies become safer and more effective, there are growing markets for people with infertility and same-sex couples to start a family via surrogacy.
