Market Overview:

The market for Wearable Brain Devices was valued at approximately USD 314.21 Million in 2023. Over the course of the forecast period (2024–2031), the market is expected to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.33%, reaching a value of USD 722.7 Million by 2031.

The rising incidence of several neurological conditions, including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, is thought to be the reason for the market's expansion. Other significant reasons supporting the market's growth are the Asia Pacific region's increasingly aging population, particularly in nations like China, Japan, and India, as well as the rapid advancement of technology.

The capacity to research the brain and assist in the treatment of many brain diseases and disorders has been made possible by recent technical developments in portable technology. The burden of brain dysfunction and neurological disorders, as well as the demand for medical resources, are predicted to soar over time, according to BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., with the global population of individuals 60 and above estimated to reach 2 billion by 2050.

Accordingly, in the coming decades, there will be a significant demand for the treatment, rehabilitation, and emotional support services for neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, and other dementias. Furthermore, new developments in brain imaging technologies have made it possible to view the brain and its operations in high detail. One non-invasive imaging method is called near-infrared functional spectroscopy, which exploits fluctuations in haemoglobin light absorption patterns to measure the relative concentration of plasma in the brain using near-infrared light (wavelength >700 nm).

However, these systems are unable to discern between photons that have been absorbed and those that have been scattered. This technique has been improved with the introduction of Time-domain (TD)-fNIRS, which uses fast detectors and picosecond light pulses to quantify photon scattering and absorption in tissues. However, it is unlikely that these systems will be employed extensively because to their high cost, sophistication, and large form size. A team of researchers from the manufacturers developed a wearable headgear based on TD-fNIRS technology to solve these problems.

For example, in January 2022, Kernel created the wearable helmet known as the Kernel Flow, which does brain imaging (TD-fNIRS) using time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The system is less complex, less expensive, and has a smaller footprint than tabletop TD-fNIRS devices, although demonstrating equivalent imaging performance. Consequently, it is anticipated that market growth will quicken in the near future.

Additionally, major players in the sector are concentrating on expanding their operations through multiple channels in the most afflicted areas, as well as expanding their businesses regionally and opening new warehouses in other locations. Businesses are responding to supply chain interruptions with a range of strategies, such as air freight delivery, additional partner sourcing, and rerouting logistics. The pandemic has also helped regional manufacturers. It is anticipated that these elements will generate profitable chances for market expansion.

The growing acceptance of medical equipment, combined with more producers coming together to collaborate on research, is leading to a consolidation of the wearable brain device market globally. For example, in November 2021, Brain Scientific Inc. and LOK Corporation partnered to develop and oversee Brain Scientific's worldwide and American distribution networks. The NeuroEEG and NeuroCap are the flagship products of Brain Scientific. Through this collaboration, Brain Scientific hopes to accelerate the development of its neurological devices, which will drive the market's growth during the research period.

Preliminary late-breaking data that was presented at the International Stroke Conference of the American Stroke Association in February 2020 indicates that stroke patients' motor performance can be enhanced by a wearable, non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation device. Thus, in order to support the prevention, treatment, and outcomes for the over 800,000 Americans who experience a stroke each year—a number predicted to rise in the near future due to factors like rising rates of obesity, stress, and other chronic diseases—these clinical presentations will provide attendees a better understanding of stroke and brain health.
