The rising global geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of brain-computer interfaces in the coming years. The geriatric population refers to individuals aged 65 and above. As populations expand and age, the prevalence of major disabling neurological disorders increases significantly with age, boosting the demand for treatment, rehabilitation, and support services for neurological conditions, including brain-computer interfaces. Among the elderly, brain-computer interfaces are utilized for training motor and cognitive abilities to counteract aging effects, controlling home appliances, facilitating communication during daily activities, operating exoskeletons to enhance joint strength, and performing other everyday tasks. For example, in January 2024, a report from the US-based Pew Research Center indicated that the geriatric population of 0.2% is projected to rise to 0.5% by 2054. Thus, the growing global geriatric population is fueling the expansion of the brain-computer interfaces market.

Major companies operating in the Brain-Computer Interface market are concentrating on technological innovations such as electroencephalography (EEG) sensors, advanced machine learning algorithms, and non-invasive neural signal processing methods to improve the accuracy and functionality of BCI systems, ultimately allowing more intuitive interactions between users and technology. Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors are non-invasive devices that detect electrical activity in the brain through electrodes positioned on the scalp, enabling real-time monitoring of cognitive states. For example, in September 2024, Neurable Inc., a US-based leader in neurotechnology specializing in AI-powered tools, launched the First Smart Brain-Computer. The headphones feature electroencephalography (EEG) sensors embedded in the ear pads, which capture and analyze brain signals. This facilitates the generation of detailed brainwave data that offers insights into focus levels and cognitive performance.

In June 2025, Cognixion, Inc., a US-based non-invasive brain-computer interface company, formed a strategic partnership with Pupil Labs GmbH to advance next-generation eye-tracking and neural interaction technologies. Through this collaboration, Cognixion and Pupil Labs aim to combine electroencephalography (EEG)-based neural interfaces with high-precision eye-tracking systems to allow simultaneous measurement of brain activity and visual attention, enhancing communication and control for users with neurological or motor impairments. Pupil Labs is a Germany-based company providing research-grade eye-tracking solutions and specializing in wearable eye-tracking technology.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a computer-based system that acquires brain signals, processes them, and translates them into commands that are transmitted to an output device to execute a desired action. This interface provides a direct communication pathway between the brain and the object being controlled. The primary objective of BCI is to restore or replace functional abilities for individuals affected by neuromuscular disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury.

The main categories of brain-computer interfaces include invasive BCI, partially invasive BCI, non-invasive BCI, and other types. Invasive brain-computer interface refers to a computer-based system in which electrodes are surgically implanted directly onto the patient’s brain to capture brain signals, process them, and convert them into commands, establishing a communication channel with external devices. The system comprises hardware and software used in healthcare, disability restoration, brain function repair, smart home control, communication and control, entertainment, and gaming applications. The end users of these systems include medical, military, and other sectors.

The brain-computer interface (BCI) market consists of sales of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCI, BCI based on electrocorticography (ECoG), intracranial electroencephalography (Ieeg), magnetoencephalography (MEG)-based BCI, functional magnetic resonance imaging (Fmri), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (Fnirs), convolutional neural network (CNN), and magnetic resonance imaging-CBI.
