The growing global geriatric population is anticipated to drive the expansion of brain-computer interfaces in the coming years. The geriatric population refers to individuals aged 65 and older. As populations age, the incidence of major disabling neurological disorders rises sharply, leading to increased demand for treatment, rehabilitation, and support services related to neurological disorders, including brain-computer interfaces. In the elderly population, brain-computer interfaces are utilized to enhance motor and cognitive abilities, helping to mitigate the effects of aging. They also facilitate control of home appliances, enable communication during daily activities, assist with exoskeletons to improve joint strength, and aid in various everyday tasks. For example, a report published by the Pew Research Center, a U.S.-based organization, indicated that in January 2024, 0.2% of the geriatric population is expected to increase to 0.5% by 2054. Thus, the rising global geriatric population is driving the growth of the brain-computer interfaces market.

The increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the brain-computer interface market in the future. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total spending on healthcare-related goods and services within a particular healthcare system or economy. It plays a vital role in facilitating the development and accessibility of brain-computer interfaces. For instance, in October 2024, a report published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a U.S.-based organization, indicated that health spending rose by 4.1 percent in 2022, reaching $4.5 trillion, or $13,493 per person. This accounted for 17.3 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Therefore, the increase in healthcare expenditure is driving the growth of the brain-computer interface market.

Major companies in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) market are concentrating on technological advancements, including electroencephalography (EEG) sensors, advanced machine learning algorithms, and non-invasive neural signal processing techniques. These innovations aim to improve the accuracy and usability of BCI systems, ultimately facilitating more intuitive interactions between users and technology. EEG sensors are non-invasive devices that detect electrical activity in the brain via electrodes placed on the scalp, allowing for real-time monitoring of cognitive states. For example, in September 2024, Neurable Inc., a U.S.-based leader in neurotechnology specializing in AI-powered tools, launched the First Smart Brain-Computer. These headphones feature EEG sensors integrated into the ear pads, which capture and analyze brain signals, generating detailed brainwave data that offers insights into focus levels and cognitive performance.

Leading companies in the brain-computer interface (BCI) market are focusing on developing innovative systems, exemplified by the introduction of holographic BCI data acquisition systems. These systems leverage holographic technology to enhance human-computer interaction possibilities. In January 2023, MicroCloud Hologram, a U.S.-based system software company, unveiled its holographic BCI data acquisition system. The company has created an experimental control platform for brain-computer interfaces based on holographic augmented reality (AR). This platform utilizes holographic naked eye images as visual stimulators to induce electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Notably, users are not required to perform visual stimulation in a fixed position, enhancing applicability in complex environments and enabling more natural human-computer interaction.

In May 2022, Blackrock Neurotech, a U.S.-based company specializing in brain-computer interfaces, acquired MindX for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Blackrock Neurotech's product portfolio in neurocomputing technology, improving the interaction between patients, their physical environments, and the digital world to provide greater quality of life and autonomy.

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a computer-based system designed to collect and analyze brain signals, converting them into commands that can be sent to an output device for the performance of specific activities. This interface establishes a direct communication pathway between the brain and the object being controlled. The primary objective of BCI is to replace or restore useful functions in individuals with neuromuscular disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury.

The main types of brain-computer interfaces include invasive BCI, partially invasive BCI, non-invasive BCI, and other variations. Invasive BCI involves the implantation of electrodes directly onto the patient's brain through surgery, allowing the collection and analysis of brain signals for communication with external devices. The components of BCI systems include hardware and software used for healthcare, disabilities restoration, brain function repair, smart home control, communication and control, as well as applications in entertainment and gaming. Various end users for BCI applications include the medical and military sectors, among others.
