The global digital biomarkers market size is expected to reach USD 13.97 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 22.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to the rising adoption of mobile applications & devices related to healthcare, and rising awareness regarding the wide therapeutic applications, increased utilization of smartphones, and the introduction of novel wearable technologies. According to Accenture Health and Life Sciences Experience Survey in 2021, 26% of the people living in the U.S. experienced enhanced access to healthcare services with the adoption of healthcare applications and devices.
Further, governmental organizations have expressed interest in creating digital biomarker-based medication due to the significant hardship brought on by the Covid-19 outbreak. For instance, in March 2022, AstraZeneca teamed up with UK-based medical technology company Huma Therapeutics to develop Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) companion applications for a range of therapeutic diseases. These applications combined predictive algorithms, digital biomarkers, and real-world data.
The rising cost of drug research, combined with its low relative success rate, is fuelling rapid creation of digital biomarkers (DBMs). DBMs in this field assist in focusing on particular decentralized clinical study areas, including early-onset Alzheimer's or dementia, thereby lowering the time, failure rate of drug development, and cost. According to a blog post by a digital solutions company called healthxl, the Digital Medicine Society (DiME) lately brought together top pharmaceutical companies, including Eli Lilly, Merck, and Biogen, to ascertain a set of core standard digital endpoints for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This was done to solve the issue of assessing the efficacy of new therapies in human subjects as well as to reduce time & money spent on research and development of new remedies.
Regional governments across the globe are supporting the adoption of biomarkers by conducting awareness programs and investing in the development of digital health. According to an article published by the UC Davis School of Medicine in 2022, the Digital Health Equity Program conducted by UC Davis Health received funding of USD 1.7 million from the federal government. This government funding is expected to contribute to the development of a regional digital public health platform capable of enhancing access to healthcare facilities for vulnerable populations in Northern California and Sacramento.
Emerging players, such as AliveCor Inc, Empatica, Inc., Huma, and VivoSense, are adopting strategies such as acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, and new product launches is anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2023, Huma, a digital health company, announced the acquisition of Alcedis to expand its capabilities in the digital clinical trial space. The goal of this acquisition is to develop healthcare solutions across various stages of development processes.
