The Wetware Computers Market was valued at USD 0.26 billion in 2023-e and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41.5% from 2023 to 2030, reaching an estimated USD 3.0 billion by the end of the forecast period. This rapid growth is largely driven by the increasing interest in replicating or leveraging the capabilities of biological systems, particularly the human brain, to enhance computing performance. The rising focus on cognitive computing, which integrates biological principles with machine learning and artificial intelligence, is also fueling the market expansion. This trend towards incorporating biological components into computing systems is expected to significantly propel market dynamics in the coming years.
Cognitive computing is inspired by neural networks and the functions of the human brain. The development of biologically inspired algorithms intersects with the concept of “wet computing,” which simulates or improves biological processes in computing systems.
Advances in cognitive computing in natural language processing and human-like reasoning improve “wet computing” interfaces. This led to more intuitive and efficient interactions between biological systems (such as the human brain) and computing technology. Cognitive computing’s ability to process large amounts of data and derive insights contributes to personalized experiences in “wet computing.” This may involve tailoring IT systems to individual user preferences, behavior, or biometrics.

Academic institutions and research centers often spearhead innovative studies exploring the integration of biological principles with computing systems. These developments lay the groundwork for future technologies categorized within the realm of “wetware computers.” Academia and research contribute significantly to advancements in neurotechnology, which encompasses the development of devices or systems interacting with the nervous system. Such studies contribute to understanding biological systems and potentially feed into the development of “wetware” technologies.
Government support for research and technology in countries across the Asia-Pacific facilitates advancements in biologically integrated computing. The Asia-Pacific region, being a hub for technological adoption and innovation, holds substantial potential for the adoption of wetware computing-related technologies. This is due to the region’s significant advancements and competitive advantages. The market is consolidating and suppliers are spending more and more on R&D and collaboration activities to acquire technological capabilities and commercialize the market, making the market less competitive.
IBM has been a pioneer in this market and has developed projects such as the IBM TrueNorth neurosynaptic chip. Their research focuses on building computing systems inspired by the architecture and functioning of the human brain. In April 2022, SynSense announced a partnership with BMW to advance the integration of neural chips and smart cockpits. This is the first step towards integrating SynSense brain technology into smart cockpits. This neurotechnology collaboration with BMW will focus on SynSense’s SoC-Speck dynamic vision intelligence, combining SynSense’s low-power SNN vision processor with event-based sensing on a single chip.
Major players are CEA-Leti, General Vision, Google, HP, HRL Laboratories, IBM, Intel, Knowm, NVIDIA, Qualcomm Technologies, Samsung, Vicarious FPC, among others. Several smaller companies, such as BrainChip and aiCTX AG working on developing chips and systems that mimic the brain’s neural structure to perform cognitive tasks efficiently.
“Wetware computers are at the forefront of a technological revolution, merging biology with digital systems to create more human-like computational capabilities. This convergence could transform industries like AI, healthcare, and neuroscience, unlocking new possibilities that traditional computing can’t offer. The future of computing is evolving rapidly, and understanding this shift is essential for anyone looking to stay ahead in the tech space,” said Sudipto Ghosh, Research Specialist, Intent Market Research.
Sudipto added, “This report offers key insights into the emerging field of wetware computing, highlighting its potential to revolutionize industries. It’s a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand how biological and digital systems will shape the future of technology and drive the next wave of innovation.”
