The global brain computer interface (BCI) market, considering invasive BCIs, the total addressable market (TAM) was estimated at USD 168.27 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.52% from 2026 to 2033. Several research studies indicate that invasive BCIs offer a higher level of assurance in restoring motor function and communication capabilities in patients with conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injuries, and stroke.
In contrast, considering non-invasive BCIs, the serviceable obtainable market (SOM) was estimated at USD 397.59 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.73% from 2026 to 2033. Key market drivers include the increasing prevalence of conditions requiring neuroprosthetic devices, the rising global geriatric population, and technological advancements that facilitate communication and movement in paralytic patients. Additionally, the expanding use of non-invasive BCIs in home control systems, virtual gaming, and military communication further enhances market applicability, thereby supporting market growth.
BCI technology is primarily utilized in medical and research settings to assist individuals with disabilities in controlling prosthetic limbs or restoring their communication ability. These systems employ electrodes placed on the scalp or implanted in the brain to capture and interpret neural signals, which are then converted into commands for external devices. Recently, advancements in BCI technology have made it more accessible, affordable, and versatile. Consumer-grade BCI devices, such as the Muse and NeuroSky headsets, are available in the market. These headsets utilize wireless dry electrodes that eliminate the need for conductive gel, making them comfortable for users to wear for extended periods. Thus, the availability of such products in the market boosts the market growth.
The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders is a significant driver of growth in the BCI market. Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), are characterized by the progressive degeneration of neurons, leading to a gradual loss of function in the affected areas of the brain and nervous system.
According to the WHO report, around 82 million people will be affected by dementia by 2030 and this number will reach 152 million by 2050. This shows the potential demand for BCI in the coming years. These conditions can severely impact an individual's motor functions, communication abilities, and overall quality of life. As the global population ages, the incidence of these disorders is expected to rise, creating a pressing need for innovative solutions that can help manage symptoms, restore lost functions, and improve the lives of affected individuals.
