The global biohacking market size is anticipated to reach USD 67.86 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 18.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Various initiatives by market players and rising funds for biohacking are the major factors fueling the market growth. The adoption of biohacking practices is growing due to their potential applications in decreasing the risk of developing a disease, especially genetically associated diseases, helping an individual to achieve mental, physical, or emotional changes, such as weight loss or reducing depression symptoms; and optimize general functions of the body, such as blood pressure.
The global market has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the major impacts of COVID-19 on the market include supply chain disruptions, a decline in sales, and low demand. However, biohackers in the industry are investing in some research activities for the development of COVID-19 vaccines as well as test kits. This neutralized the market growth in 2020. For the purchase of equipment and materials, biohackers require basic funding. Other than crowdfunding, most of the activities at these labs are self-funded through membership and workshop fees. Furthermore, private donations are also used for raising money.
Oura Health, manufacturer of the Oura ring, a sleep-improvement and sleep tracking platform, raised USD 20 million in Series B funding led by MSD Capital in December 2018. The global market is fairly competitive. Most of the market players have undertaken strategies, such as new product launches, acquisitions, and partnerships, to gain a competitive edge over each other. For instance, in September 2020, Apple Inc. partnered with the government of Singapore for launching a national health initiative using Apple Watch. With this, the country made an effort to leverage technology for delivering advanced health benefits to its citizens.
