The global wireless brain sensors market size was estimated at USD 554.9 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing adoption of sedentary lifestyles worldwide is one of the major factors driving the market for wireless brain sensors. Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as alcohol addiction and smoking are among the major causes of stroke and migraine.
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity due to the adoption of an unhealthy lifestyle. In the U.S., around 70,000 people suffer from stroke every year, out of which 23.0% of strokes are fatal or cause permanent disability. In addition, smoking is another major risk factor that causes hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Since wireless brain sensors help to manage and prevent such conditions, increasing the adoption of unhealthy lifestyle habits is likely to boost the market for wireless brain sensors.
The rising number of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) cases is also one of the major drivers positively influencing the market's growth for wireless brain sensors. TBIs, due to a blow, bump, or shock to the skull, cause permanent or temporary impairment of the brain. Major causes of TBIs include sports injuries, falls, gunshot wounds, domestic violence, and road traffic accidents. TBI is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality and a major public health concern in developed and developing countries.
In addition, the number of road accidents is rapidly increasing, leading to a rise in the need for wireless brain sensors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2023, around 20 to 50 million people are injured or disabled every year, and 1.19 million people die in road accidents. Road traffic injuries are estimated to be the ninth leading cause of mortality globally. ASIRT also reported that in the U.S., more than 38,000 people die in road accidents per year, and around 4.4 million are injured or disabled.
According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, in 2022, around 4,43,366 people were injured in road accidents. The number of injured patients from road accidents has increased by 15.3% from 2021 to 2022. In 2022, Tamil Nadu (64,105) and Madhya Pradesh (54,432) recorded the highest number of road accidents. This is anticipated to propel the market's growth for wireless brain sensors over the forecast period. Moreover, according to the CDC, in the U.S., falls (52.0%) and road accidents (20.0%) are the first and second leading causes of all TBI-related hospitalizations, respectively. Thus, increasing incidences of road accidents and falls are expected to fuel the market's growth for wireless brain sensors during the forecast period.
The global acceptance of sedentary lifestyles is one of the key factors propelling the market for wireless brain sensors. Numerous unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as smoking and alcohol, lead to stroke and migraine. In addition, the market for wireless brain sensors is expected to witness an increase in demand due to the rising occurrence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). A hit, bump, or shock to the head that results in temporary or permanent brain injury is what causes TBIs. Gunshot wounds frequently bring on TBIs, falls, domestic abuse, and automobile accidents, among other things.
In addition, the rise in traffic accidents is fueling demand for wireless brain sensors and accelerating the market's expansion. The rising incidence of neurological illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and others is a crucial factor contributing to the industry's rise. Moreover, rising healthcare spending capacity and improvements in healthcare infrastructure are the main factors expected to accelerate market expansion.
The electroencephalography (EEG) devices segment dominated the market for wireless brain sensors and held the largest revenue share of 33% in 2024. It is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 10.5% over the forecast period. The EEG devices allow the recording of electrical activity in the brain. The device helps collect electrical activity in the brain. The collected signals are digitalized and amplified and are then sent to mobile or computer for data processing and storage. Individuals can also use this device to improve their wellness and productivity by monitoring their emotions and mood.
The sleep monitoring devices segment is anticipated to grow significantly, with a CAGR of 10.2% from 2025 to 2030.The rising prevalence of sleep disorders is expected to increase the use of sleep-tracking devices. For instance, according to the United Health Foundation, in 2022, 35.5% of American adults stated that they slept less than seven hours in 24 hours. In addition, a report published in 2024 by the National Council on Aging, Inc. revealed that around 30% of adults experience symptoms of insomnia, with 10% having insomnia that affects their daily activities. The population affected by sleep apnea ranges from 9% to 38%, per the same report. Increasing cases of sleep apnea and insomnia across the globe are driving market growth.
The multispecialty hospitals segment dominated the wireless brain sensors market and held the largest revenue share of 46.9% in 2024 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 10.7% over the forecast period. The increasing cases of stroke and traumatic brain injuries are the major driving factors for the segment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2020, there were approximately 214,110 TBI-related hospitalizations and 69,473 TBI-related deaths, representing more than 586 TBI-related hospitalizations and 190 TBI-related deaths per day. Hospitalization rates and death rates were the highest among individuals aged 75 and older. Moreover, it was seen that males were nearly two times more likely to be hospitalized and three times more likely to die from a TBI than females.
The research Institutes segment is anticipated to grow significantly, with a CAGR of 10.0% from 2024 to 2030. The market is experiencing rapid growth due to the increasing focus on neuroscience research, escalating investment in funding initiatives, and breakthrough innovations in brain monitoring technologies.
