Industry Outlook

Brain computer interface technology is a significant communication tool between systems and users. This technology was initially developed for biomedical applications, leading to emergence of assistive devices. Brain computer interface has also facilitated restoration of the movement ability and replacement of lost motor functionality. The promising future of brain computer interface has encouraged researchers to study the importance of brain computer interface for non-paralyzed humans with medical applications. The scope of brain computer interface research has further spread to non-medical applications. Recent studies have also targeted normal healthy individuals in exploring the application of brain computer interface as a potential input device and generation of hands-free applications.

"Greater demand for noninvasive signal acquisition techniques to be witnessed in the market"

Based on the types of signal acquisition methods, the global brain computer interface market is segmented into invasive techniques such as intracortical and cortical surface techniques; and noninvasive techniques such as magnetoencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional infrared spectroscopy and electroencephalogram. Between the two, noninvasive techniques the global market in terms of revenue. Wider applicability of this technology including medical and entertainment purposes mainly contribute to the dominance of this segment. Additionally, growing use of these techniques in home applications will open further growth opportunities in the global market. On the other hand, the growth of invasive techniques segment is anticipated to remain stable during the forecast period. Vital position of invasive techniques in enabling motor control, and vision restoration will enable stable position of this segment through 2026.

"Demand for environment control applications to pick pace"

Based on applications, this market is segmented as Communication, Motor Restoration, Environmental Control, Locomotion, Entertainment and Others (neuromarketing, security, etc.). Brain computer interface currently is widely adopted for healthcare, gaming, entertainment and communications applications. In healthcare, this technology finds sustainable position in treatment of paralysis, neurological diseases, sleep disorders and assessment of neuroscience. However, it is anticipated that the demand for brain control devices in home or environment control segment for purposes such as lighting control, use of communication systems, access control and so on will flourish. Smart environments such as smart workplaces, transportation and smart homes can exploit brain computer interfaces to control daily human life. It is also anticipated that we shall soon witness cooperation between brain computer interface and internet of things.  

"North America to spearhead the global brain computer interface market"

In 2017, North America is the largest market for brain computer interface on the global front, and accounts for over 35% of the global market. High incidence and prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, and swift adoption of new technologies are the key factors attributed to the dominance of North America. Additionally, growing popularity of virtual gaming also is a key characteristic of North America market. Domicile of several major players in the U.S. also assists in characterizing the dominance of North America market. Asia Pacific, however, is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Large potential patient population, and growing healthcare expenditure along with disposable incomes are the key attributes for the rapid growth of Asia Pacific market. Japan and China are the most prominent regions in Asia Pacific market.
