The haptic virtual reality (VR) fitness suit market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to wider adoption of immersive fitness solutions, rising demand for personalized VR workouts, growing interest in gamified exercise programs, increasing emphasis on home-based rehabilitation and training, and the rising popularity of social and multiplayer virtual fitness experiences. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in wearable haptic feedback systems, development of AI-powered personalized VR workouts, innovations in multiplayer and social VR fitness platforms, improvements in sensor accuracy for real-time performance tracking, and creation of integrated VR fitness and health monitoring solutions.

The increasing engagement in physical activities and regular exercise is expected to drive the growth of the haptic virtual reality fitness suit market in the coming years. Physical activities and regular exercise include both structured and unstructured movements that promote physical fitness, health, and overall well-being. The rise in adoption is fueled by greater awareness of their benefits in preventing lifestyle diseases, enhancing mental health, and improving quality of life. Haptic virtual reality fitness suits support these activities by delivering real-time tactile feedback, which helps improve posture, movement accuracy, and creates immersive workout experiences for more effective training. For example, according to the UK Fitness Report by PureGym Limited in November 2023, gym membership in the UK increased by 2 percent compared to the previous year, with 16 percent of the population currently holding gym memberships. Additionally, another 16 percent expressed plans to join a gym in 2024. Consequently, the growing participation in physical activities and regular exercise is contributing to the expansion of the haptic virtual reality fitness suit market.

Key players in the haptic virtual reality fitness suit market are concentrating on technological innovations such as full-body tactile actuation to enhance immersive workout experiences, boost user engagement, and enable precise simulation of physical sensations for effective fitness training. Full-body tactile actuation involves the use of distributed actuators embedded within wearable textiles to provide localized force or vibration feedback, enhancing motion cues and improving real-time exercise accuracy. For instance, in November 2024, bHaptics Inc., a South Korean VR haptics company, launched the TactSuit Pro. This suit delivers immersive feedback with 32 haptic motors that create localized tactile sensations, increasing realism during workouts and interactive sessions. It also features a thumbwheel with an LED status ring on the chest, allowing users to adjust the intensity of sensations in real time, accommodating both high-intensity exercises and lighter routines.

In September 2022, Meta Platforms, a US-based company known for social networking services, virtual reality hardware, and immersive digital platforms, acquired Lofelt for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aimed to enhance Meta’s capabilities in advanced haptics, strengthening immersive experiences across its VR and wearable products. Lofelt, headquartered in Germany, specializes in high-definition haptic technologies and developer tools, including haptic algorithms, software development kits, and wearable devices that deliver realistic tactile feedback for virtual and augmented reality applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
