Market Overview

Surrogacy is assisted reproductive technology where a woman carries the pregnancy for another couple through the use of an embryo created by themselves or a donor and transferred to the uterus of the gestational carrier. This method has made motherhood possible for those women without a uterus, with uterine anomalies preventing pregnancies, with serious medical problems, or with other contraindications for pregnancy. There are two types of surrogacy viz. traditional and gestational. In traditional surrogacy, there is artificial insemination of the surrogate mother with the intended father's sperm, where the surrogate mother is both a birth as well a genetic mother while in gestational surrogacy, the embryo is transferred from the intended parents or donated oocyte or sperms to the surrogate uterus. The surrogate is a birth mother but a genetic mother to the child in case of gestational surrogacy. Ethical, religious, and legal problems have arisen around surrogacy; therefore, both the gestational carrier and the intended parent(s) must be granted rigorous safeguards and protections. In many countries around the world, clear and understandable gestational surrogacy arrangements are carried out or strict legislations are introduced. Several obstetrics complications and multiple-order pregnancies may arise in surrogacy. Other general complications include preeclampsia and eclampsia, urinary tract infections, stress incontinence, and gestational diabetes. Emotional trauma may be faced by the surrogate mother after the child relinquishes but get dissipates with time shortly. The improvement in access of surrogacy services and efforts to standardize regulations play a vital role in providing lucrative growth opportunities for the global surrogacy market in the near future.
