Signal Human augmentation market projected at $1.39 trillion by 2034
Summary
This signal sizes the emerging market for technologies that extend human abilities. Worldwide, technologies that augment human capability are forecast to form a US$1.39t market by 2034. EY stresses that today's uptake is only the earliest phase of a much larger shift. Augmentation here spans AI tools that enhance cognition, exoskeletons and robotics that extend physical capacity, brain-computer interfaces and longevity research. In EY's view the real question is no longer whether human capabilities will be augmented. It is whether organizations will steer the change so that it amplifies human potential, or be reshaped by competitors that do.
