Market Overview

The brain-computer interface (BCI) is a new technology that allows direct communication between the brain and an external device without using traditional neuromuscular routes. It supports the identification and diagnosis of a wide range of brain diseases, including epilepsy and brain tumors, as well as the restoration of impaired motor functions. Brain-computer interface (BCI) is also known as the neural-control interface (NCI), direct neural interface (DNI), mind-machine interface (MMI), or brain-machine interface (BMI). Magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocorticography (ECOG), functional magnetic resonance (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG) are some of the brain imaging technologies. These are linked to brain-computer interface (BCI) devices, which collect electrical signals from the human brain. A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that uses an artificial output device to analyze and translate brain impulses to instruction. This device helps with the replacement, restoration, enhancement, supplementation, and improvement of central nervous system (CNS) functions. BCI replaces or restores function in persons suffering from neuromuscular illnesses such as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or spinal cord injury. It is also useful for rehabilitation after a stroke or another condition. It has become more widely used for communicating with and managing patients suffering from severe paralysis or locked-in syndrome (LIS), and global demand for it is growing. BCIs offer a wide range of applications, including medical uses such as assisting those with paralysis or neurological disorders, as well as non-medical industries such as gaming, virtual reality, and control systems. The increasing demand for non-invasive and wearable BCI technologies, as well as increased investment in R&D, are driving the growth of the brain-computer interface market. The growing frequency of brain illnesses, government financing for research in developed economies, and the increasing application of BCI technology in gaming are the primary drivers of the BCI market's growth.

Driving Factors

The increasing prevalence of these neurological illnesses emphasizes the crucial need for BCI solutions. They can help persons with neurological issues regain control of their prosthetic limbs, use assistive technologies, and communicate using brain signals. As BCI technology advances and clinical applications become more common, the market is likely to expand more all over the following years. The growing number of gaming sectors is predicted to drive market expansion for brain-computer interface devices. Brain-computer interface technologies are used in the gaming industry to increase the thrill and interaction of video games. For instance, Emotiv Company created neuro gaming, a video game that uses a non-invasive brain-computer interface. This video game detects users' moods and then modifies the music and video images.

Restraining Factors

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI), which are very intrusive, can be expensive since they require specialized devices, surgery, and regular maintenance. The costly price tag for BCIs discourages a larger population from utilizing them. Furthermore, invasive BCIs, which involve introducing electrodes into the brain via surgery, pose hazards such as infection, tissue damage, and long-term health issues. These issues discourage potential clients and prevent the growth of the brain-computer interface market, particularly for non-medical applications.

Market Segmentation

The global brain computer interface market share is classified into product, technology, and application.

• The non-invasive segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the product, the global brain computer interface market is categorized into invasive, partially invasive, and non-invasive BCI. Among these, the non-invasive segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period. Non-invasive BCI is popular because it can be applied to a wide range of products, including headsets, amplifiers, and gaming sticks, resulting in significant revenue. This technology is regarded as safe because the approach is less intrusive, which is driving segment expansion. In addition, various research projects are underway on this subject. For instance,  Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Minnesota collaborated to create the first mind-controlled robotic arm using BCI technology that can detect and follow a computer cursor.

• The electroencephalography (EEG) segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period.

Based on the technology, the global brain computer interface market is categorized into electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocorticography (ECoG), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Among these, the electroencephalography (EEG) segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a popular brain imaging modality for collecting brain activity among the different imaging methods used in non-invasive BCI due to its simplicity, low cost, non-invasiveness, and great temporal resolution. The application of EEG technology in non-invasive BCI systems enables the induction of various control signals, including P300, MI, SSVEP, and others. Demand for electroencephalography (EEG)-based non-invasive BCI is growing due to its distinct usability advantage over other types of brain signal recording, making it suitable for commercial application.
