The global magnetoencephalography market size was valued at USD 252.0 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028. One of the primary reasons likely to drive the market over the forecast period is increasing technological improvements in magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems and their growing adoption. Market growth is also expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders that cause death and disability around the world. Neurodegenerative diseases are most common in the middle and late years of life. Their prevalence is expected to increase as people age. Harvard Neurodiscovery Center predicts that one fifth of Americans will reach 65 years old by 2030. If untreated, over 12 million Americans will develop neurodegenerative diseases in the next 30 year.
MEG scanners have been proven to be the most efficient devices for diagnosing epilepsy, brain tumors and emotions. MEG exploits the fact that neuromagnetic impulses can pass through the skull without distortion. Despite being around for decades, scanners are becoming more popular due to recent technological advances. Worldwide, there are many MEG scanners in use. The number is growing. FieldLine, a biotech company that specializes on improved brain diagnostics, launched HEDscan, a next-generation device for non-invasive functional head imaging. This is the first non-cryogenic whole-head MEG system that is commercially available. It was created to aid researchers and doctors in diagnosing a broad range of mental disorders.
Furthermore, one of the major reasons likely to boost the market for magnetoencephalography scanners throughout the forecast period is the growing research and development activities. The HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience, for instance, has developed a new way to process MEG data which allows for more accurate identification of cortical activation areas. This method is useful in diagnosing neurological disorders and in preparing patients to undergo brain surgery, both in clinical and research settings.
COVID-19 has caused a significant increase in demand for COVID-19-specific devices like ventilators. Therefore, manufacturers are currently focusing on meeting this growing demand, which will negatively impact the market's growth in 2020. The current COVID-19 pandemic (second wave), has seen neurological effects as a significant source of morbidity, and even death. According to a study published in Neurology Online Journal, COVID-19 may have contributed to the development of new neurological disorders. COVID-19 will also have a long-lasting effect on the nervous systems. The market will continue to grow due to the rise in new disorders.
However, the high cost of the brain scanning procedures, as well as the magnetoencephalography scanner is a key restraint on the global market, particularly in underdeveloped countries with inadequate reimbursement policies. The market's growth will be impeded by the increasing popularity of EEG scanners, as well as the availability of other scanners.
Market leader, the clinical application segment, accounted for 56.0% of the total revenue in 2020. Due to increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, the segment will continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. MEG in clinical settings provides precise diagnostic results with a high spatial and temporal resolution that are often superior to clinical settings.
This clinical segment can be sub-segmented into multiple sclerosis (stroke, epilepsy), dementia, schizophrenia, multiples sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and other conditions. Market share was the highest for the MEG scanner that is used to treat epilepsy. Epilepsy can be life-threatening and pre-surgical evaluation is the most popular clinical application of MEG. Epilepsy is fourth most common neurological disorder.
Recent years have seen a rise in brain research thanks to the availability of MEG scanners that can examine the anatomy and functions of the developing brain. Cognitive neuroscience researchers at Peking University (Beijing) adopted the Elekta NeuromagTM MEG device in a variety brain research studies. The market is expected to expand due to the above factors over the forecast period.
Due to the large patient base and increasing adoption of MEG scanners in hospitals, the hospital segment was the dominant market for MEG. It accounted for around 36.0% of the MEG market's total revenue. Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital, for instance, installed Beaumont's Ricoh MEG system in July 2021. This is the first such system in the U.S. Segment expansion will likely be driven by rising competition and increased demand of world-class healthcare services in the future.
Market growth is expected to be significant in the imaging centers segment during the forecast period. The segment is expected to grow due to its low scan costs, shorter wait times, involvement in diagnostic accreditation boards and growing reimbursement structure.
North America was the dominant market for MEGs and held the largest revenue share at 34.0% in 2020. Both the presence of many market competitors in the region and the frequent release of new products seem to contribute to regional market growth. Patient safety and outcomes are of paramount concern in the U.S. and a variety of projects have been created to improve quality and outcomes. The fact that North America is spending significantly more on healthcare than any other country contributes to the market's growth.
The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a 5.6% CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to increased demand for imaging devices and rising incidence of neurological disorders. Out of over 600 neurological conditions worldwide, the most common ones in Asia are cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative. APAC's aging population and improved diagnosis and awareness of neurodegenerative diseases among patients and doctors will both contribute to the market's growth.
These key players are committed to improving their product offerings through cooperative drives. They also consider acquisitions and approvals from the government to increase their client base and take a greater share of the overall industry. Compumedics Limited approval was granted by the US FDA in February 2020 for its Orion LifeSpan single Dewar system.
