Electroencephalography (EEG) devices are medical instruments used to measure and record the electrical activity in the brain. These devices capture electrical signals produced by neuronal activity via electrodes positioned on the scalp. EEG is extensively employed in clinical environments for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and various neurological disorders.
EEG devices come in several types, including portable, standalone, and wearable models. Portable EEG devices are compact and wearable systems designed to monitor and record brain wave activity outside of traditional clinical settings. They are available in various configurations such as 8-channel, 21-channel, 25-channel, 32-channel, 40-channel, and multi-channel setups. These devices are distributed through direct tender and retail sales, serving applications such as trauma and surgery support, disease diagnosis, anesthesia monitoring, sleep analysis, and others. End users of EEG devices include hospitals, diagnostic centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The electroencephalography devices research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides electroencephalography devices market statistics, including the electroencephalography devices industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an electroencephalography devices market share, detailed electroencephalography devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the electroencephalography devices industry. This electroencephalography devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The electroencephalography devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $1.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early discoveries, initial development, portable and wireless electroencephalography, neurofeedback and biofeedback, consumer-grade electroencephalography devices.
The electroencephalography devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to research and development, clinical acceptance, increasing healthcare expenditure, aging population, consumer wearables. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence integration, personalized healthcare, integration with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), longitudinal monitoring and big data analytics, combination with other modalities.
The forecast of 8.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for dry electrode headsets and wireless data transmission units, sourced from key regions such as South Korea and the Netherlands, which could lead to compromised brain monitoring in clinical research and increased equipment expenses.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in neurological disorders is expected to drive the growth of the electroencephalography device market in the future. Neurological disorders impact the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. Factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of these disorders include an aging population, lifestyle changes, genetic factors, improved diagnostic capabilities, and heightened awareness. Electroencephalography devices play a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions by recording and analyzing brain electrical activity. They aid in the evaluation and management of conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries. For instance, in October 2023, the World Federation of Neurology reported that more than 40% of the global population suffers from a neurological disorder, a number expected to nearly double by 2050. Therefore, the growing prevalence of neurological disorders is a significant driver of the electroencephalography device market's expansion.
Leading companies in the electroencephalography (EEG) devices market are focused on developing innovative solutions, such as wearable EEG devices, to improve accessibility, user-friendliness, and portability for both clinical and research purposes. Wearable EEG devices are compact, non-invasive systems designed to track and record brain electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. For example, in May 2024, Soterix Medical Inc., a US-based company specializing in non-invasive neuromodulation and brain stimulation technologies, launched the MxN-GO EEG system. This system is designed to support research that requires activity recording in both natural and mobile settings, as well as electrical brain stimulation. The MxN-GO EEG device features a lightweight, wire-free design, making it easier to set up and more comfortable for users. It includes 32 recording channels and 33 stimulation channels, offering high precision and functionality tailored to specific applications.
In January 2024, Aditxt Inc., a US-based life sciences company, acquired the electroencephalography (EEG) brain monitoring assets from Brain Scientific for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to expand Aditxt's portfolio and capabilities in brain health, strengthening its emphasis on neurological diagnosis and monitoring by incorporating advanced brain monitoring technologies. Brain Scientific Inc., another US-based healthcare company, specializes in commercial-stage electroencephalography devices.
