Digital Biomarker Market Size

The global digital biomarkers market size was valued at USD 3.8 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at 28.8% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Digital biomarkers are objective, quantifiable physiological, behavioral, or environmental data collected and measured using digital devices such as wearables, smartphones, or other sensor-equipped tools. These biomarkers provide insights into an individual’s health status, disease progression, and treatment responses by leveraging data captured in real-world settings.
 

Digital Biomarker Market

The global digital biomarkers market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 41 million deaths annually, accounting for 74% of global mortality. Of these, 17 million premature deaths occur each year, with 86% affecting low- and middle-income countries. This growing burden of disease underscores the importance of reliable diagnostics, particularly in resource-constrained settings. These trends highlight the urgent need for innovative and scalable solutions, such as digital biomarkers, to enhance early detection, monitoring, and management of chronic diseases, especially in regions where traditional healthcare infrastructure may be limited.
 

Furthermore, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the adoption of wearable devices, and an increasing focus on remote monitoring are propelling market growth.
 

Digital Biomarker Market Trends

  • The integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare (AI) and machine learning (ML) has significantly advanced the capabilities of digital biomarkers, enabling more accurate, scalable, and personalized healthcare solutions.
     
  • AI and ML algorithms analyze vast amounts of data from wearables, smartphones, and other digital devices to identify patterns and subtle changes in physiological or behavioral metrics. For instance, these technologies can detect atrial fibrillation from smartwatch ECG data or predict disease flare-ups in conditions such as multiple sclerosis through gait or speech analysis.
     
  • In parallel, AI models can process multi-dimensional datasets to identify early signs of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, or mental health disorders, even before symptoms become apparent. An example of this is the use of speech-based biomarkers analyzed by ML algorithms to detect early cognitive decline.
     
  • Moreover, ML-powered algorithms enable tailored health recommendations by correlating individual biomarker trends with broader datasets. This can optimize treatment plans for chronic diseases by predicting medication responses, thereby enhancing the personalization of patient care.

Digital Biomarkers Market, By Clinical Practices (2024)

Based on clinical practice, the digital biomarker market is bifurcated into diagnostic digital biomarkers, monitoring digital biomarkers, predictive and prognostic digital biomarkers, and other clinical practices. The monitoring digital biomarkers segment accounted for a 45.8% market share in 2024 and is projected for significant growth to reach USD 21.4 billion by 2034.
 

  • Monitoring digital biomarkers aids in the early detection of diseases by identifying subtle physiological or behavioral changes. This enables timely interventions, improving patient outcomes, particularly in chronic and progressive conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
     
  • Unlike traditional diagnostics, digital biomarker monitoring delivers continuous data streams, providing real-time insights into an individual's health. This dynamic approach ensures quicker responses to health changes, thereby reducing the risk of complications.
     
  • Additionally, digital biomarker monitoring often employs non-invasive devices like wearables or smartphones, offering greater comfort to users and enhancing adherence compared to invasive diagnostic methods. These advantages are driving market growth.
     

Based on therapeutic area, the digital biomarker market is bifurcated into cardiovascular and metabolic disorders (CVMD), diabetes, respiratory disorders, psychiatric disorders, sleep and movement diseases, neurological disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and other therapeutic areas. The cardiovascular and metabolic disorders (CVMD) segment accounted for a 22.5% market share in 2024.
 

  • Digital biomarkers play a critical role in identifying early signs of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. For instance, wearable devices can track irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, which may indicate an increased risk of stroke or heart failure. Similarly, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can detect abnormal blood sugar trends, signaling the early stages of diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
     
  • Patients with CVMD benefit from real-time tracking of physiological parameters, enabling healthcare providers to monitor disease progression effectively. Blood pressure monitors integrated with digital platforms can detect hypertension trends, while wearables tracking physical activity and heart rate variability provide insights into cardiovascular fitness and recovery rates post-surgery or heart attack.
     
  • Furthermore, by analyzing trends in digital biomarkers, such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and glucose levels, AI algorithms can predict acute events such as myocardial infarctions, strokes, or hypoglycemia episodes. This predictive capability allows for timely medical interventions, potentially saving lives, thus propelling market growth.
     

Based on end use, the digital biomarkers market is bifurcated into healthcare providers, payers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic and research institutions. The healthcare providers segment accounted for a 38.4% market share in 2024.
 

  • Digital biomarkers enable healthcare providers to identify diseases at an early stage with greater precision. For instance, wearable devices and apps collect real-time data on vital signs and behaviors, aiding in the detection of conditions such as atrial fibrillation, diabetes, or mental health disorders before symptoms become severe.
     
  • Healthcare providers can utilize digital biomarkers to monitor patients remotely and continuously, offering a more comprehensive view of health trends over time. This approach eliminates gaps in patient care and enables timely interventions in response to detected abnormalities.
     
  • Additionally, digital biomarkers enhance the management of chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. By tracking key metrics such as blood pressure, glucose levels, and heart rate variability, healthcare providers can adjust treatments proactively, further driving market growth for digital biomarkers.
