Brain computer interface industry Dynamics
DRIVER: Growing need to minimize medication errors
The prevalence of various neurological disorders, encompassing stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These conditions affect millions of people globally, limiting mobility, communication, and independence. This escalation is primarily linked to the expanding elderly population, with projections indicating that over 20% of the global populace will be above 65 by 2050. Forecasts from the American Medical Association (AMA) suggest that by 2030, approximately 60% of individuals in this age bracket will contend with multiple chronic conditions.
The growing incidence of these neurological disorders underscores the critical need for BCI solutions. BCIs offer a novel approach to address these unmet needs. They can help individuals with neurological disorders regain control of prosthetic limbs, operate assistive technologies, and even communicate through brain signals. As BCI technology advances and clinical applications become more widespread, the market is poised for continued growth in the years to come.
RESTRAINT: High cost of brain computer interface systems
The high initial investment required for acquiring and implementing BCI technology poses a significant barrier to entry for many potential users. This cost factor not only affects individual consumers but also dissuades healthcare facilities, research institutions, and other organizations from adopting BCI solutions on a larger scale. The high cost of BCI systems limits accessibility to BCI technology, particularly for individuals and organizations with budget constraints or limited financial resources.
Moreover, the total cost of ownership for BCI systems extends beyond the initial purchase price and includes expenses related to installation, training, maintenance, and ongoing support. These additional costs further compound the financial burden associated with adopting BCI solutions. As a result, many potential users may hesitate to invest in BCI technology, leading to slower market growth and adoption rates than anticipated.
OPPORTUNITY: Growth opportunities in emerging markets
The burgeoning economies of emerging markets present lucrative prospects for players within the brain computer interface sector, primarily fuelled by the significant rise in demand for advanced healthcare solutions, including BCI systems, to address the growing burden of neurological disorders and disabilities. Notably, nations like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa have emerged as some of the world's fastest-growing economies, poised to collectively contribute to a third of the global healthcare expenditure by 2022, as per the World Economic Forum.
Emerging markets present an opportunity to develop low-cost and scalable BCI solutions tailored to the specific needs and budgetary constraints of these regions. Moreover, the regulatory landscape in developing nations tends to be less stringent, with lower data requirements. Particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, regulatory policies are perceived as more adaptable and conducive to business, garnering favor among market players. Consequently, the market players are increasingly focusing on expanding their presence and operations in these regions to capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities.
CHALLENGE: Shortage of trained medical professionals
Trained medical personnel are required to operate BCI systems effectively for rehabilitation. The positioning of electrodes on the scalp and the insertion of muscular needles require accuracy and must be performed only by highly-trained personnel. The presence of highly skilled medical personnel and staff is, therefore, vital for the effective use of BCI systems.
Skilled medical personnel are currently in short supply worldwide, with the WHO estimating a shortage of 4.3 million physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. In the US, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts a shortfall of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034 due to factors like population growth and aging. The Canadian Nurses Association predicted that Canada was expected to lack around 60,000 nurses by 2022. Additionally, there's a global shortage of neurodiagnostic technologists, prompting hospitals to train other allied health professionals. This poses a significant obstacle to the expansion of the global brain-computer interface market.
