Surrogacy Market Growth in 2025: Trends, Insights & ACRC Global’s Leadership

Market Size & Global Forecasts

The global surrogacy market is witnessing unprecedented growth. Valued at USD 22.4 billion in 2024, it is expected to reach USD 27.9 billion in 2025 and skyrocket to USD 201.8 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%.

This surge is driven by:

• The rising rate of infertility—affecting 17.5% of adults globally (1 in 6 individuals).

• Increased awareness of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) options such as IVF and surrogacy.

• Growth in fertility clinics and advanced reproductive centers.

• Lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, and delayed parenthood contributing to fertility decline.

As awareness spreads and fertility services become more accessible, surrogacy continues to redefine family planning options across continents.

The U.S. Share & Leadership Role

The United States remains the global leader in surrogacy, setting benchmarks for medical excellence, ethical transparency, and legal security. The U.S. market alone reached USD 5.1 billion in 2024, supported by robust fertility infrastructure and strong state-level protections.

Notably, New York’s Child-Parent Security Act (CPSA), enacted in 2021, legalized gestational surrogacy while ensuring Surrogates’ full health, insurance, and decision-making rights.

From California to New York, American surrogacy laws continue to attract Intended Parents worldwide.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, ACRC Global connects Intended Parents with top fertility specialists, clinics, and compassionate Surrogates—bridging care and cultural understanding across borders.

Cost Inflation & Market Pressures

While surrogacy demand grows globally, cost pressures are emerging from:

• Rising healthcare inflation and legal costs.

• Tariffs on medical imports, increasing equipment expenses for clinics.

• Expanding regulatory and insurance requirements.

• 
  

Despite these factors, Intended Parents continue to choose U.S. programs for their ethical integrity, regulated systems, and high medical success rates.

At ACRC Global, we uphold a “No Match, No Fee” policy, allowing Intended Parents to pay agency fees only after a confirmed match—offering true financial transparency.
