Electroencephalography Systems Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electroencephalography Systems Market is accounted for $779.51 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $1163.29 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. Electroencephalography equipment is used to monitor the electrical signals of the brain. However, these electrical signals are very weak and thus, an amplifier is employed to magnify the voltage. The readings from device are used to diagnose various neurological disorders and monitor sleep disorders and patients under anaesthesia. The equipment works with the help of electrodes that are attached to the scalp of the patient to collect the reading of the brain wave. This equipment is mostly used in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, ambulatory surgery centers, and others.

According to EMSP, approximately 9 million people in Europe are affected by neurodegenerative diseases. According to the data from the Alzheimer's Association, almost 6.5 million Americans aged 65 years and older are suffering from Alzheimer’s. Seventy-three percent are of age 75 or older.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising prevalence of neurovascular disorders

Rising incidences of neurological diseases like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s diseases, multiple sclerosis is the primary reason for the growth of the market. The growing awareness among people about neurological diseases and disorders in developed and developing regions is expected to impel the market growth. Additionally, increased government funding for neuroscience-related R&D activities is anticipated to have lucrative growth.

Restraint:

Low spatial resolution and less meaningful results

While EEG offers a high temporal resolution, they deliver subpar results for spatial resolution. Even the data produced through the temporal resolution is inaccurate oftentimes and as such, can be considered less meaningful. Other techniques are able to display the active regions of the brain, while EEG necessitates the need for intense interpretation that would conclude and hypothesize the active regions for a specific response. However, presence of substitute products hinders the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Increasing proportion of the aging population

Growing geriatric population has resulted in the growth of research and development activities in the neuroscience sector. In addition, technological advancements in the field of equipment increase in adoption of EEG equipment in surgery centers are the factors that contribute to the growth of the market.

Threat:

High cost associated with the equipment

The high cost associated with the setup of conventional EEG device, and the lack of skilled professionals to administer and operate the device in an accurate manner is expected to hinder the growth of the Market over the forecast period. Also, lack of reimbursement of electroencephalography procedures is projected to challenge the market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted the healthcare industry with the demand for remote monitoring and patient engagement solutions soaring exponentially. Several healthcare facilities are likely to fuel their patient monitoring towards home care settings. The pandemic furthered the demand for ventilators, such as respiratory devices to set up ICUs. Researchers are projected to assess the effects of rescue therapies with ventilation on the brain to help select therapies for corona virus patients.

The standalone devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The standalone devices segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to it is the most commonly used type of EEGs. These systems are fixed or implanted at a particular place. Such systems are used mainly in hospital settings and consist of hardware and software solutions that allow physicians to interpret results efficiently. These devices are used to record electrical activities in the brain. This has largely contributed to the surge of standalone devices that are used in such settings.

The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hospitals segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the growing number of patients suffering from traumatic brain injuries, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. Hospitals are primary end users of the devices because of their need to record the rhythm and electrical activity and evaluate the results in detail for clinical and research purposes. Thus, this segment dominated the market owing to the high patient turnaround and frequent readmissions.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to rise in healthcare expenditure, and surge in prevalence of various neurological disorders such as epilepsy and others. Moreover, rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure along with the rise in spending power in certain Asian countries is expected to support the demand for advanced EEG equipment. In addition, increasing focus on the development of healthcare infrastructure in developing countries propels the region growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increasing incidences of neurological disorders, and the rising prevalence of sleep disorders. The presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, high awareness levels amongst patients and their families regarding early diagnosis, and availability of highly skilled neuro physicians are some factors attributing to its large share.
