India Surrogacy Market

India Surrogacy Market Size and Share: 

The India surrogacy market size reached USD 613.50 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4,051.87 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 21.47% during 2025-2033. Rising infertility rates, advancements in assisted reproductive technologies, increasing awareness about surrogacy, favorable government regulations, growing medical tourism, higher disposable incomes, improved healthcare infrastructure, delayed pregnancies due to career priorities, rising demand from non-traditional families, and increasing success rates of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures are expanding the India surrogacy market share.

India Surrogacy Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Commercial Surrogacy Amidst Regulatory Changes

The India surrogacy market growth is driven by a changing legal framework and increasing demand for assisted reproductive technologies. While the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, permits only altruistic surrogacy, many intended parents seek solutions within regulated clinics. In 2024, the Central government of India then amended the Surrogacy (Regulation) Rules, 2022, allowing couples to use at least one gamete from the intending couple for surrogacy, even if they are medically certified to suffer from a condition that necessitates the use of a donor gamete. On the other hand, single women (widow or divorcee) undergoing surrogacy must use self-eggs and donor sperm to avail surrogacy procedures, according to the latest notification. Apart from this, the growing prevalence of infertility, lifestyle disorders, and delayed pregnancies among urban couples is further driving the market. Additionally, advancements in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer techniques are improving success rates. Despite regulatory restrictions, India remains a hub for surrogacy-related medical tourism, with domestic and international patients seeking fertility treatments under legally permissible conditions. 

Technological Advancements Enhancing Success Rates in Surrogacy 

The integration of cutting-edge reproductive technologies is revolutionizing the Indian surrogacy market. Innovations such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), embryo freezing, and AI-assisted embryo selection are improving pregnancy success rates. Fertility clinics are adopting personalized treatment approaches, utilizing data analytics to optimize surrogacy outcomes. The affordability of fertility treatments in India, compared to Western countries, continues to attract medical tourists. Notably, Alka IVF Shree Kanak Hospital, under the direction of Dr. Alka, stated on December 23, 2024, that it was expanding throughout India, with planned facilities in Jodhpur, Kota, Jhansi, and Udaipur.  The facility offers individualized care to couples dealing with infertility issues by specializing in cutting-edge reproductive therapies like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS), and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Additionally, the rise of fertility preservation services, such as egg and sperm freezing, allows intended parents to plan surrogacy at their convenience. As technology advances, India’s surrogacy market is expected to see improved efficiency and higher patient trust, which, in turn, is positively impacting the India surrogacy market outlook.
