Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent type of dementia and is anticipated to account for 60-70% of cases.

Product Insights

Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) products dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 20.5% in 2023. Healthcare professionals often conduct CAT scans to visualize the internal anatomy of the human body and facilitate precise diagnosis and treatment. The growth of this segment is driven by its benefits as it aids physicians in visualizing tiny nodules and tumors, which is impossible through regular X-rays. In addition, it produces three-dimensional visuals of the internal body organs.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is expected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period. The market is driven by its features, such as its ability to identify brain conditions such as seizures and epilepsy using diagnostic imaging methods. A diagnostic technique aids in identifying alterations in the electrical patterns of the brain. Therefore, the rising integration of technological advancements is enhancing the features of these instruments, fueling market expansion.

Regional Insights

North America brain mapping instruments market dominated the global industry with a revenue share of 30.9% in 2023. The market growth is primarily driven by the growing adoption of technological advancements, increasing prevalence of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the improved healthcare infrastructure in the U.S. According to the American Association, 7 million individuals in America currently are suffering from Alzheimer's. It is estimated that by 2050, the number can increase to almost 13 million. The healthcare expenses and long-term care costs for individuals with dementia are estimated to reach USD 360 billion in 2024 and USD 1 trillion by 2050.
