Surrogacy Market Analysis Based on Segmental Evaluation:

By type, the surrogacy market is bifurcated into gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. The gestational surrogacy segment held a significant surrogacy market share in 2025. Gestational surrogacy is the most common or preferred type of surrogacy in the world and usually represents the greatest market share. Through IVF, an embryo is created using the gametes of the intended parents or other donors, and this embryo is then transferred to the surrogate; the surrogate has no biological relationship with the child. This model dominates the global surrogacy market growth due to its clarity and risk of litigation, the advancement of technology in screening embryos through modern ART, and society’s acceptance of gestational surrogacy as an acceptable form of family building. Gestational surrogacy is the primary method of family building for intended parents using commercial surrogacy in the US, Georgia, and some parts of Russia, but there are altruistic, limited fee in the UK, Australia, India, the Netherlands, Greece, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are several notable advantages of gestational surrogacy, including flexible options regarding donor gametes, enforceability of parental rights, technological advances related to infertility treatment (assisted reproductive technology - ART), and the prioritization of both the surrogates’ and the intended parents’ health and welfare through referrals to reputable agencies, attorneys, and medical professional providers.

The geographical scope of the surrogacy market report encompasses an assessment of the market performance in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America dominated the surrogacy market share in 2025 due to the supportive regulatory policies for commercial and altruistic surrogacy, with increasing prevalence of infertility among a large population, followed by increasing medical tourism in the region. There are many differences in surrogacy laws from one state to the next in the USA and Canada. While Mexico has no formal legislative body to make rules, to pursue surrogacy in Canada or Mexico, one will need legal representation that understands how best to proceed relative to the. Commercial (Gestational Mother) surrogacy is allowed in certain states across North America, such as California, where there are strong enforceable pre-birth parentage orders so that both heterosexual and homosexual people can have immediate parental status through gestational surrogacy. In 2023, the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) noted there were over eleven thousand five hundred (11,515) gestational carrier cycles performed in the US, a majority of which are people living outside of the US. The majority of surrogacy activity in Canada is altruistic in nature and occurs under the provisions set forth by the Assisted Human Reproductive Act of 2004; however, there have been changes to the legislation regarding surrogacy in Canada as a result of recent changes to Quebec's provincial legislation. These new rules require all surrogacy agreements to be in writing, and when a child is born using a gestational carrier, the intended parents must sign written consent granting them legal access to their child after they are born.

However, Mexico does not have comprehensive federal laws that apply uniformly across the entire country. The only jurisdictions that have legalized commercial surrogacy in Mexico are Mexico City and Cancún. Commercial surrogacy is allowed in these jurisdictions through the use of notarized agreements and judicial proceedings referred to as "amparo." However, enforcement is inconsistent due to the fact that, until a court order is obtained by the intended parents, the gestational mother will be the only party who is named on the birth certificate as the legal parent of the child, creating delays for international intended parents. North America represents a diverse surrogacy market that provides intended parents with access to varying costs, legal protections, and commercial viability, thereby providing increasing options for creating inclusive families.
