Market Insights
In 2015, neurological disorders constituted about 6.3% of the global burden of disease, among which more than half of the burden in DALYs (disability-adjusted life years) was contributed by cerebrovascular disease, 12% by Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and 8% each by epilepsy and migraine, according to the WHO. The prevalence of neurological disorders and awareness of the disease and its treatment are responsible for driving the significance of brain health devices.
The rise in traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and cardiac procedures are the key factors increasing the demand for brain health devices. EEG, MEG, MRI, CT scan, transcranial Doppler (TCD) devices, intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors, cerebral oximeters, and other devices are widely used to monitor brain activity as well as to analyze anesthesia and sedative effect. Along with the increase in the geriatric population, the technological advancements taking place in devices with respect to functionality and efficiency also play an important role in the high adoption rate of novel, technically advanced monitoring devices on the market.

Based on the type of therapeutic application, the brain health devices market is segmented as follows:
- Epilepsy
- Stroke
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Dementia
- Huntington’s Disease
- Headache Disorders
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Sleep Disorders
- Other Diseases (Autism, Schizophrenia, Williams Syndrome, Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, Depression, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia, and Sickle-cell Disease)
The brain health devices market by therapeutic application majorly consists of stroke, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. Stroke dominates the brain monitoring device market, followed by epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. According to the World Health Organization, around 15 million people suffer from stroke worldwide each year. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders observed worldwide and across all age groups. It is a recurrent seizure that causes brief episodes of involuntary movement of the entire body or part of the body. It accounts for 0.6% of the global burden of disease. It affects the economy in terms of loss of productivity, health care needs, and premature death.
Based on the type of device, the brain health monitoring devices market is segmented as follows:
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Magnetoencephalogram (MEG)
- transcranial doppler (TCD) devices
- Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitors
- Cerebral Oximeters
- PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Equipment
- Devices for Monitoring Sleep
- Electromyography (EMG) Devices
Among the considered device types, the electroencephalogram segment dominates the brain monitoring market, as these devices are the most versatile and cost-effective. EEG is extensively used in clinics and hospitals to assess the activity of anesthesia and sedatives. It is widely used to diagnose sleep disorders, epilepsy, and encephalopathy. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors and cerebral oximeters are witnessing fast growth due to the rise in traumatic brain injuries and the risk of hypotension or hypoxia caused during or after surgical accidents.
For the purpose of this study, the global market for brain health devices is geographically categorized into:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Latin America (LATAM)
- Middle East and Africa (MEA)
In 2015, North America dominated the global brain health devices market due to contributing factors such as the high incidence of neurological disorders, rapid adoption of sophisticated healthcare technologies, high awareness about conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease, an organized reimbursement system, and a well-developed healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing regional market, driven by factors such as a rapidly increasing geriatric population, rising awareness of neurodegenerative diseases, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies such as India, China, the Philippines, etc.
