The wellness sector, fuelled by preventive healthcare and a generational shift in consumer behaviour, is growing faster than the healthcare industry. Biohacking industry on the other hand is growing 4x faster than the pharmaceutical industry.
The wellness industry now represents 60% of global expenditure on healthcare.
By numbers, the wellness sector is bigger than the pharmaceutical industry. How did that happen? Why should you care?
Overview of the Wellness Economy:
- Industry size: $6.3 trillion (2023)
- Projected growth: $9 trillion by 2028 (7.3% annual growth)
- Scale comparison: 4x larger than big pharma ($1.6 trillion)
- GDP representation: Over 6% of global GDP
- Healthcare context: 60% the size of all global health expenditures ($10.6 trillion)
- Wellness economy: 7.3% annual growth (2023-2028) Together North America (2.2 trillion), Asia Pacific (1.9 trillion) and Europe (1.7 trillion) represent over 90% of the global wellness economy
Biohacking Market Outpacing Big Pharma
The recent policy change in the US, along with the explosive growth in both biohacking and the broader wellness economy, is noteworthy.
The wellness industry is now 4x larger than the global pharmaceutical industry.
Within this massive wellness ecosystem, the biohacking sector represents a particularly dynamic segment:
The global biohacking market size was estimated at $25 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a rate of 18.95% from 2025 to 2030, reaching nearly $70 billion by the end of the decade.
This 19% annual growth rate significantly outpaces both traditional pharmaceutical industry expansion and the broader wellness economy’s projected 7.3% annual growth, suggesting that consumers are increasingly willing to invest in preventive, personalised interventions rather than reactive treatments.
