Human enhancement refers to a natural, artificial, and technological alteration of the body to enhance cognitive and physical capabilities and functions of individuals. It is undertaken using drugs, hormones, implants, genetic engineering to dietary supplements and cosmetic surgeries for self-improvement. Nowadays, advances in human enhancement technologies provide resistance against diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and Lyme. They also allow up-to-date diagnostic and advancements in genome editing technologies, such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) for a functional cure of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
The growing prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, in confluence with the increasing access to healthcare services, represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for human enhancement technologies around the world. These technologies mainly include nanotechnology, information technology (IT), and cognitive science, which assist in upgrading biomedical interventions as well as diagnose and treat various diseases. They also comprise active control systems that help create limb prosthetics with characteristics that exceed human performance. Moreover, emerging technologies like genetic engineering, neuronal implants, brain-computer interfaces, and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting are contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, due to rising geopolitical tension between countries, security agencies of several countries are investing in research programs to improve battlefield performance. For instance, the ethics committee in the French Army approved the research of human enhancement technologies for developing enhanced soldiers. This research also involves the utilization of advanced systems, ranging from drugs to exoskeletons, to enhance military personnel in targeting decisions. These factors are anticipated to drive the adoption of human enhancement technologies and influence the market positively in the coming years.

The global human enhancement market was valued at USD 125.1 Billion in 2024.
We expect the global human enhancement market to exhibit a CAGR of 11.45% during 2025-2033.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to postponement of elective cosmetic surgeries and treatment for malaria, tuberculosis, and Lyme to reduce the risk of the coronavirus infection upon hospital visits and interaction with medical equipment, thereby negatively impacting the global market for human enhancement technology.
The growing prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, along with the increasing demand for human enhancement technologies to assist in upgrading biomedical interventions as well as diagnose and treat various diseases, is primarily driving the global human enhancement market.
Based on the product, the global human enhancement market can be categorized into exoskeleton, smart devices, medical devices, implants, and others. Currently, smart devices account for the majority of the global market share.
Based on the device type, the global human enhancement market has been segregated into body worn and non-body worn, where body worn devices currently hold the largest market share.
Based on the end user, the global human enhancement market can be bifurcated into healthcare, defense, information technology, and others. Among these, the healthcare sector exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where North America currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global human enhancement market include BrainGate, B-Temia Inc, Ekso Bionics, Google LLC, Magic Leap Inc, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, ReWalk Robotics Ltd, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Second Sight Medical Products Inc., and Vuzix Corporation.
