The wearable electroencephalogram (eeg) headsets market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will increase from $1.55 billion in 2024 to $1.75 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 12.7%.
This growth is due to expanding uses beyond clinical settings, a focus on user-friendliness and data security, lifestyle changes, potential in emerging markets, and increased attention on healthcare infrastructure.
The wearable electroencephalogram (eeg) headsets market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets market is forecast to grow rapidly, reaching $2.78 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 12.4%.
The growth is attributed to the rising incidence of neurovascular diseases, greater awareness of mental health, demand for non-invasive monitoring solutions, an increase in traumatic brain injuries, and a growing need for early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of neurological disorders. Trends include technological advancements, a rising prevalence of neurological disorders, the popularity of EEG headsets, and increasing demand for non-invasive monitoring solutions.
The rise in cerebrovascular diseases is predicted to fuel the expansion of the market for wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets. Disorders impacting the brain's blood supply and vessels, known as cerebrovascular diseases, result in conditions like stroke, aneurysm, and vascular dementia. The escalating incidences of underlying risk factors, namely hypertension, elevated blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol, exacerbate these diseases. Wearable EEG headsets, which enable efficient and non-invasive monitoring of brain activity, have become indispensable in clinical and research scenarios. The Office for National Statistics, a UK government body, reported in October 2024 that cerebrovascular diseases caused 29,474 deaths in 2023, accounting for 5.1% of all fatalities, which indicates a 0.7% rise in mortality compared to 2022. Hence, the swelling frequency of cerebrovascular diseases is stimulating the progress of the wearable EEG headsets market.

Leading firms in the wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets market are forging ahead with the creation of groundbreaking products that incorporate cutting-edge technologies like dry electrode EEG technology. This technology contributes to the advancement of wearable EEG headsets by augmenting user comfort and data quality, making these devices more user-friendly and suitable for daily usage and long-term monitoring. For example, in February 2023, Wearable Sensing, a US-based neurotech firm, together with Soterix Medical, a bio tech company also in the US, launched the Dry Electroencephalogram (EEG) + tDCS system. This state-of-the-art headset amalgamates dry electrode EEG technology with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). It is equipped with six adjustable dry electrode EEG sensors and two tDCS electrodes, making it capable of concurrent brain activity monitoring and stimulation. The QStates machine learning cognitive state classification algorithm it uses allows automatic adjustment of stimulation depending on the identified cognitive states, boosting its relevance in the areas of neuroscientific investigation and therapeutic usage.
