Surrogacy Market to Reach USD 78.68 Bn by 2031 Driven by IVF Advances and Rising Fertility Demand | Mordor Intelligence

Surrogacy Market to register a CAGR of 22.19% during 2026–2031, with North America leading the global market.

HYDERABAD, TELANGANA, INDIA, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the surrogacy market size is estimated at USD 28.91 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 78.68 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 22.19% during the forecast period (2026–2031). The market is benefiting from rising infertility prevalence, delayed parenthood, broader acceptance of diverse family structures, fertility tourism, and advances in in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Increasing adoption of artificial intelligence for embryo selection and preimplantation genetic testing is also influencing treatment pathways, while employer-funded fertility benefits are helping address some of the financial barriers associated with assisted reproduction. Regulatory changes across major fertility markets continue to influence domestic and cross-border surrogacy arrangements.

Surrogacy Market Key Growth Factors

Rising Infertility and Delayed Parenthood Strengthen Surrogacy Demand

Increasing infertility prevalence and delayed parenthood are supporting demand for assisted reproductive services, including surrogacy. Later family formation can increase the need for fertility interventions, while greater awareness of available reproductive options is expanding access to fertility centers and specialized providers. Employer-sponsored fertility benefits are also becoming an important consideration as organizations expand support for assisted reproductive treatments.

Advances in IVF and AI-Based Embryo Selection Support Treatment Adoption

IVF accounted for 66.12% of the surrogacy market in 2025, reflecting its central role in gestational surrogacy. Fertility providers are increasingly adopting technologies such as AI-assisted embryo selection, genetic testing, time-lapse imaging, and laboratory automation. These developments are supporting more data-driven treatment decisions and contributing to the expansion of IVF-enabled surrogacy services.

"As demand for assisted reproductive and surrogacy services evolves across global markets, decision-makers benefit from research grounded in transparent sourcing, consistent validation, and balanced market assessment. Mordor Intelligence applies a structured methodology designed to provide a dependable view of market developments, competitive activity, and factors influencing future demand," says Soumya Goud, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence.

Fertility Tourism and Cross-Border Arrangements Expand Market Opportunities

Cross-border surrogacy continues to shape the global market as intended parents consider differences in treatment costs, availability, healthcare infrastructure, and legal frameworks. Mordor Intelligence projects cross-border arrangements to expand faster than domestic arrangements through 2031. However, changing parentage requirements and differences in national regulations continue to influence international patient flows and provider strategies.
