Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Brain Computer Interface Market

 
The global brain computer interface market size was valued at USD 806.8 million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 1.72 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 11.50% during the forecast period. Key drivers of the market include increasing prevalence of neuroprosthetic conditions, rising global geriatric population base, and the rising technological development facilitating communication and movement in paralytic patients. Furthermore, use of this technology in virtual gaming, home control systems and military communication enhances the applicability of the market, fueling its growth.
 
Increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders is the foremost factor attributing for the growth of brain computer interface market over the forecast period. Alzheimer, Parkinson’s and epilepsy are expected to witness highest occurrence over the forecast period.
Increasing global geriatric population base in both the developed and developing nation is expected to propel the brain computer interface market. Presently, there are more than 40 million people in the U.S. alone having age 65 and above and are anticipated to become more than double in 2050. The rising geriatric population is expected to heighten the susceptibility towards chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorder and sleep disorder. WHO’s National Institute on Aging states that prevalence of dementia and neurodegenerative disorders are expected to rise sharply (25-30%) with growing age. Most of these patients eventually require continuous care and monitoring or help which can be facilitated by the use of brain computer interface devices.
Mobile and virtual gaming is expected to target the use of BCI technology in their VR (Virtual Reality) headsets and gaming contents. According to studies conducted there are about 1.2 billion gamers worldwide with over 1 billion VR gamers. The rising population of these gamers is expecting to propel the revenue of the gaming industry to roughly USD 50 million by 2020, making this segment highly lucrative and one of the fastest growing during the forecast period.
Increasing R&D activities by various governments over BCI technology development and new applications is a chief factor promoting the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Brain Computer Interface Market


On the basis of product, brain computer interface market is segmented into invasive, partially invasive, and non-invasive. Non-invasive BCI dominated the overall market in 2014 in terms of revenue share owing to high applicability of this technology into current products such as headsets, amplifiers and gaming sticks contributes to the massive revenue generation by this market. Furthermore, increasing usage of the product for home control and communication are expected to boost segment growth.
Invasive BCI market is anticipated to witness substantial growth due to the ability to provide Applicationality to paralyzed people through brain controlled robotic legs and arms and ability to restore vision by connecting brain and an external camera. The invasive device is positioned in the grey matter and is prone to building up of scar-tissue. However, as the body starts reacting to the foreign object in the brain, the quality of signal deteriorates and eventually might even cease to deliver signals. This limits the use of invasive system and affects the result.
Application Insights
On the basis of application, brain computer interface market is segmented into healthcare, communication and control, smart home control, and entertainment & gaming. BCI products and technology is currently used to gratify the needs of the healthcare, entertainment & gaming, smart home control and communication & control markets. BCI based healthcare market dominated the overall market in 2014 in terms of revenue share owing to high applicability of this technology in treatment of sleep disorders, neurological diseases, paralytic patients and in studying neuroscience.
Special control masks for the BCI system enable to switch on/off the lights, to control the TV set, to use the phone, to open & close the doors & windows, to play music, to operate video camera at the entrance, to walk around in the house and to move a person to a specific location by executing necessary commands. Therefore, Smart home control is expected to be the fastest growing application segment and is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR by 2022.
End-Use Insights 
Medical segment dominated the overall market in 2014 in terms of revenue share owing to the increasing rising occurrence of target disorders and neurodegenerative conditions.
