Electroencephalography (EEG) Devices Market Overview
The Electroencephalography (EEG) devices market was valued at USD 1,025.92 million in 2021, and It is reaching USD 1,699.52 million by 2028, with expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2028. The market is pushed by the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders like epilepsy and sleep disorders, rise in the rate of road traffic injuries, rise in the number of skilled physicians and rise in self-care for these disorders—neurological disorders such as Dementia Alzheimer’s disease is majorly seen in older or aged population. According to World Health Organization, by 2020, the number of people aged 60 or older will increase the number of children younger than five years. The speed of population aging globally is growing every year; by 2050, people above 60 years are expected to reach 2 billion. It will enhance the demand for Electroencephalography devices.
What is Electroencephalography (EEG) Device?
Electroencephalogram (EEG) refers to the diagnostic processes or tests undertaken to estimate or detect the electrical activity in the brain utilizing the help of electrodes and are also undertaken to consider the health of the brain, the muscles and the motor neurons that manage them. An EEG is mainly undertaken to analyze and treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy and others such as brain tumors, strokes, brain damage, encephalopathy, and sleep disorders.
Growth Drivers
Increasing incidence and prevalence of neurological conditions
The global incidence and prevalence of neurological diseases, such as dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, neuro disorders, stroke, and cerebral palsy, have risen significantly over the years. Brain disorders, which contain a combination of developmental, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative diseases, are a growing reason for morbidity worldwide. It can largely be attributed to the growing geriatric population (by 2050, more than 20% of the global population is predicted to be aged over 65 years). The American Medical Association (AMA) estimates that at least 60% of individuals aged 65 years and above will be living with more than one chronic condition by 2030. Below are some important statistics connected to the incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders.
Opportunities
The increasing market for non-invasive and minimally invasive devices
Invasive monitoring is a difficult, painful, and difficult procedure concerning direct intervention with sensitive brain tissue. Therefore, doctors and patients show a high inclination toward using non-invasive or minimally invasive brain monitoring devices. There are advantages, and there has been a rapid growth in the demand for non-invasive ICP monitors, TCD devices, tympanic membrane displacement procedures, optic nerve sheath diameter, CT scan/MRI, and fundoscopy, which are reliable alternatives to invasive techniques, thus stimulating players in this market to create and commercialize such products.
In March 2019, Masimo obtained CE Mark approval for its next-generation SedLine brain operation monitor for pediatric patients aged between one and 18 years of age; this product assesses brain function while under anesthesia. In March 2018, Nihon Kohden (Japan) launched aireeg WEE-1200, a wireless EEG system that delivers real-time data during long-term epilepsy monitoring, intensive care, and routine EEG.
Restraints
Research High cost of complicated brain monitoring systems and devices
The high price of brain monitoring surgeries and devices is the main factor controlling the global brain monitoring market, mainly in countries with poor reimbursement policies. Brain monitoring devices are highly complicated, and the processes implicating these devices are generally expensive. For example, the average cost of a standard EEG is ~USD 200–700; this process can cost as high as USD 3,000 for expanded monitoring. A dual-channel TCD costs approximately USD 3,000–3,200, and an ICP monitor costs approximately USD 340–500. Likewise, a single MEG system costs roughly USD 2.5–3 million. Due to the increased price of healthcare skills, even in countries with wide adoption of high-tech medical equipment, it is not easy to procure MEG devices. Additionally, the maintenance cost and other associated indirect expenditures raise the full cost of ownership of these devices, thereby restricting their adoption.
Pre Covid-19 Impact on Global Electroencephalography (EEG) Device Market
Before the covid-19 period, the rising problems of these neurological conditions has made it extremely vital to monitor brain and neurological processes. Many neurological disorders and conditions increase, and their risk increases with age. Further, other diseases and conditions, such as sickle-cell diseases and cardiac disorders, are growing. Cardiac procedures may sometimes influence the routine functioning of the brain, which is a major factor in driving the demand for brain monitoring devices.
Covid-19 Impact on Global Electroencephalography (EEG) Device Market
During the covid-19 period, the urgency to fight the pandemic has led to a remarkable increase in the demand for remote monitoring and patient engagement solutions. Some hospitals/healthcare facilities expand patient monitoring to home care settings or other temporary setups to deliver optimal care. Covid-19 controls conducted to a considerable surge in demand for ventilators, and manufacturers are currently concentrating their actions to help the increasing need for ventilators, including other respiratory devices, in contrast to brain monitoring devices. The pandemic is likely to harm the brain monitoring business, particularly due to the emphasis of hospitals on setting up distinct covid-19 ICUs, along with the temporary suspension of production and manufacturing areas in the main affected regions across the world.
Post Covid-19 Impact on Global Electroencephalography (EEG) Device Market
After the covid-19 outbreak, the Increasing funding for neurological research has increased the improvement in technology. Thus, it is expected to fuel the global electroencephalography devices market. Increased healthcare infrastructure across the globe is acting as a prospect for its growth in the global electroencephalography devices market.
