The surrogacy market is poised for growth due to the escalating rates of infertility. Infertility, defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse, is a prevalent issue affecting approximately 17.5% of adults globally, as reported by the World Health Organization. This statistic, equivalent to about 1 in 6 individuals, underscores the urgent need to enhance accessibility to affordable and high-quality fertility care. The rising prevalence of infertility serves as a catalyst driving the expansion of the surrogacy market, offering an alternative for individuals or couples unable to conceive naturally or carry a pregnancy to term.

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.

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.
