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 physiological, behavioral, or environmental data that are collected and recorded by means of digital devices such as smartphones, wearables, or other sensor-equipped tools. By means of extrapolated data, these biomarkers assess one’s health, disease stage, as well as treatment effects.
 

Digital Biomarker Market

The high prevalence of chronic diseases is the key area benefitting from the rise in the global market, reaching new heights. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that 41 million people die each year because of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which represent 74% of the overall global mortality. Of this total, 17 million are the result of premature death, with 86% of these fatalities occurring in middle and low-income economies.

This increasing disease burden indicates the need for effective diagnostics to combat the diseases, especially in areas that lack resource availability. These trends justify the development and global integration of new tools such as digital biomarkers that will further facilitate the monitoring and control of chronic disease management, even in areas with little or no access to healthcare services.
 

Furthermore, improvement in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, increased popularity of wearable technology, and remote monitoring, are propelling the market growth.
 

Digital Biomarker Market Trends
