The global human augmentation market size is expected to reach USD 739.59 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Human augmentation involves the use of advanced technologies to improve and extend human capabilities. The rising number of older individuals worldwide is driving the need for healthcare innovations that can improve life quality and tackle age-related health issues. Technologies such as exoskeletons, medical implants, and prosthetics are being developed to meet the healthcare requirements of this aging population.
The market is primarily fueled by an increase in the use of AR/VR devices and a rising number of consumers utilizing exoskeleton technology in the human enhancement sector. The demand for exoskeletons in industrial settings is largely due to the growing need to improve worker safety, decrease workplace injuries and fatigue, and enhance productivity. Exoskeletons offer a solution to reduce the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) and improve overall workplace ergonomics, particularly in industries such as construction and manufacturing.
The increasing use of advanced technologies within the aerospace and defense industries marks substantial growth opportunity for the market. In the above sectors, technological advancements can be the difference between survival and peril, the incorporation of human augmentation technologies is essential. Technologies such as exoskeletons, wearable gadgets, augmented reality (AR), and cognitive enhancements are utilized to boost the physical and mental abilities of military personnel, including soldiers, pilots, and support staff. These innovations enhances the performance of military personnel, and alleviate the burden of carrying heavy gear and deliver vital information via heads-up displays.
In the realm of human augmentation, a key trend is the creation of innovative technologies designed to enhance human body functions without the need for surgical implants. Furthermore, exoskeletons are being employed for gait training and rehabilitation purposes, aiding the elderly and those with disabilities affecting their joints or limbs. A notable innovation in this area is the capsule camera, or the so-called swallowing device, which allows for the visual inspection of the gastrointestinal tract's midsection. This technology enables patients to keep an eye on their health from the comfort of their homes while going about their daily activities, thus minimizing unnecessary hospital visits. As interest in human augmentation grows, leading firms are investing in the research and development of more advanced augmentation technologies, methods, systems, and devices.
