2024: The global biohacking market grew to $18.91 billion over the year

In 2024, expenditures on the global biohacking market reached $18.91 billion. More than 40% of this amount fell on the North American region. Industry trends are addressed in the Fortune Business Insights survey presented on November 7, 2025.

Biohacking is the practice of purposefully promoting health and increasing the body's productivity by changing lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity, as well as by applying modern technologies. The goal is to optimize physiological and biochemical processes to improve overall well-being, slow down aging and achieve maximum productivity. Biohacking differs from traditional medicine in that it focuses not on treating diseases, but on improving the condition of healthy people.

One of the key drivers of the analytics market is the transition to preventive and personalized healthcare. Biohacking takes into account individual characteristics of the person, providing deeper control over health. Advances in genomics, diagnostics, and wearable sensors allow personalization of diet, supplement inventory, and therapeutic methods for best results. Modern wearable devices, such as smartwatches, help to optimize the training process, improve sleep quality and reduce stress levels, which contributes to improved fitness and cognitive functions (memory, concentration).

Artificial intelligence has a significant impact on the industry. Neural networks allow you to transform biometric and genetic data, as well as heterogeneous lifestyle information into personalized recommendations for improving health and general well-being. AI algorithms are able to analyze huge amounts of information to predict stress, fatigue or metabolic changes, which helps to carry out preventive measures and optimize activity.

Advances in biotechnology and regenerative medicine allow companies to develop cellular rejuvenation and mitochondrial repair capabilities to slow aging processes, the study notes. Integration with cloud platforms and electronic health records reduces the gap between consumer biohacking tools and official health systems.

Analysts segment the market into products and services. In 2024, the lion's share of revenue - more than 75% - was provided by the first of these areas. From the point of view of application, health monitoring, increasing life expectancy/combating aging, improving cognitive abilities, personalized nutrition, etc., are distinguished. The most significant part of the income is generated by the first of these sectors. Geographically, North America dominates, accounting for 42.4% of global spending, or $8.01 billion. Major industry players on a global scale are:

• The Odin;
• Wellness;
• Health Via Modern Nutrition;
• Revive Biohacking;
• ReCELLebrate.

In 2025, the biohacking market is expected to reach $20.58 billion. At the same time, the United States will have $8.23 billion, Europe - $5.3 billion, Asia-Pacific - $5.1 billion. Revenue in Latin America will be at $0.84 billion. Fortune Business Insights analysts forecast a compound percentage CAGR of 11.19% going forward. Thus, by 2032, expenses may increase to about $43.24 billion.^[1]

DARPA created a chip implantable under the skin that detects COVID-19 in a few minutes

In mid-April 2021, a military research laboratory USA DARPA developed an implantable under the skin that chip can be continuously tested for blood new strains of coronavirus and notify the owner of the infection within a few minutes. According to the researchers, the development is going through a late stage of testing and will be used by sailors. More. here

2020: Medsi invested 0.5 billion rubles in the federal biohacking platform

On September 17, 2020, Bayonic-Medsi (a joint venture of the Medsi clinic network and the Bioniq medical company) launched a biohacking platform . It is a digital personalized system for monitoring and promoting public health. Read more here.

2019

Biocompass, magnetic chip and temperature sensor in human body

Proponents of biohacking call this direction a new technological revolution in the improvement of the human body. These are not just technologies that help to look at familiar processes in a new way, but knowledge aimed at the prosperity of mankind in the first place, they say. Some biohackers go further and implant chips in 2019.

Inventor Liviu Babitz created a sensor that expands human feelings. It's a biocompass, like animals, that vibrates every time a person turns north . The implant allows you to follow the route, despite the road, so this development is especially useful for blind people.

More companies are enthusiastically exploring the new opportunities that come with digital implants

Cabinet maker Rich Lee, from St. Jordan, implanted a sensor in his forearm that constantly monitors body temperature, as well as a magnetic chip in his finger that allows you to unlock the car's central lock.

Three Square Market has implanted dozens of its employees with microchips, which are used to enter the office through the turnstile, authorize a computer and buy food in the dining room.

We are talking about RFID chips that are passive - they are devoid of batteries and receive energy from RFID scanners during data transfer from the chip.

Amal Graafstra, founder of Dangerous Things, an NFC chip company for people, "they become a part of our lives - just as they became  eusmartphones. You will not forget this chip anywhere, you will never lose it. We will soon see society accept implantable chips  as readily as tattoos or piercing^[2]

Chipping by the military

The US Navy asked the American futurist and transhumanist Zoltvan Istvan to calculate the risks in his study: in particular, to assess how chips implanted in sailors can affect the operation of a nuclear submarine.

Biohackers instead of fitness trainers

Upgrade Labs invites customers to take a "pumped" fitness course and improve their health in a special gym, where trainers are called "biohacking specialists." Upgrade Labs offers to take a course on a special adaptive resistance exercise bike, on which you can use up as much glycogen in 40 seconds as in 45 minutes of jogging. Then the guests regain strength on the REDcharger, which uses red and infrared LEDs.

Karina Ingram-Noer, to keep herself in good physical shape, she constantly follows a diet and drinks more than 20 vitamin supplements. Karina conducts daily workouts under infrared radiation to make up for the lack of collagen in the skin. In addition, the girl wears short shorts in any weather - this is a budget version of cold therapy, reports the BBC.

Renowned bestselling author Dan Brown has shared one of his work secrets. Before sitting at the writing table at four o'clock in the morning, the novelist brews the so-called bulletproof coffee, rich in special fats - medium-chain triglycerides. It enhances brain function, Brown said.
