Growing prevalence of obesity coupled with unhealthy habits such as smoking has increased the number of patients diagnosed with infertility. Sedentary lifestyles and a lack of physical exercise have severely affected the reproductive ability of men and women.

As per the American Pregnancy Association, 30% of the male population suffers from infertility, accounting for one-fifth of the total infertility cases. Furthermore, estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that close to 12.1% of women between 15 to 44 years are unable to conceive. These factors are the result of hormonal imbalances and the subsequent reduction in the production of sperm, thereby promoting the use of alternatives such as surrogacy.
 

Ethical concerns associated with surrogacy, however, have led some countries to ban the procedure. Limitations regarding stringent regulations for commercial surrogacy in developed nations like the United States may restrict market growth to a certain extent. Different countries have different surrogacy laws and there are no concrete regulations for this matter. Furthermore, fertility clinics work under separate guidelines and medical laws. These non-uniform and stringent regulations may hamper the surrogacy industry progress.
