Market Dynamics
The increasing prevalence of brain surgery is expected to grow in the market.
According to the National Tumour Society, Brain tumors can be deadly and significantly impact the quality of life. It is estimated that 700,000 people in the United States live with a primary brain tumor, and brain tumors account for 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. About 3,460 children under 15 are diagnosed with a brain or CNS tumor, and approximately 85,000 more will be diagnosed in 2021. Approximately 70% of all brain tumors are benign, and 30% of brain tumors are malignant. Therefore, increasing brain surgeries will increase the demand for disposable EEG electrodes in the forecast period.
In the forecast period, the market is expected to be driven by the rising prevalence of neurological disorders, the rise in hospital-acquired infections due to reusable EEG electrodes, the increase in the geriatric population, and the increase in hygienic practices, technological advancements, and product launches by market players.
Increasing alternatives for disposable EEG electrodes is expected to hamper the market's growth.
Reusable EEG medical electrodes are used as alternates for disposable EEG electrodes because they provide many benefits, including low cost, durable, flexible, and lightweight. For instance, Genuine Grass Reusable Cup EEG Electrodes from Natus Medical Incorporated have been thoroughly structurally and electrically tested to ensure long life and excellent recording clarity and dependability. These reusable electrodes can be sterilized using steam or EtO, limiting the risk of infection and cross-contamination. These electrodes' cups are composed of gold or silver.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
During the Covid-19 pandemic, government limitations limited health care to urgent needs. As a result, neurophysiology centers had to suddenly reschedule their activities, lacking specific electroencephalography (EEG) execution recommendations. Nationwide lockdowns and social distancing measures have reduced patient visits significantly; this led to reduced sales of disposable EEG electrode products. Moreover, laboratory closures and decreased clinical testing have reduced the market.
For instance, Italian neurophysiology centers firmly adhered to government restrictions of lockdown. Nevertheless, some issues emerged, ranging from evaluating a proper indication for EEG, EEG recording technical procedures, and neurophysiology technicians' protection, which could negatively impact market growth.
Market Segment Analysis
Needle electrode segments are expected to hold the largest share in the global disposable EEG electrode market.
In 2020, the needle electrode segment accounted for the highest market share. Disposable needle EEG electrodes are used for direct cortical recordings, and it is an invasive procedure. Before recording, skin preparation decreases skin impedance to better electrical conductivity between the skin surface and electrodes. Moreover, these electrodes are miniaturized to <10 µm to reduce tissue damage, and the small geometry of the electrodes causes degradation of the electrical properties. Therefore, its invasive procedure has increased the demand for the needle EEG electrodes in the forecast period.
Market Geographical Share
North America region holds the largest market share of the global disposable EEG electrode market.
In 2020, North America accounted for the highest revenue share. The increasing prevalence of depression and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), advancements in technology, increase in awareness about neurological diseases, rise in demand for minimally invasive procedures in the region are expected to boost the market in the forecast period. For instance, According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental illnesses in the United States, affecting around 40 million individuals annually, or 18.1 percent of the country's entire population. In addition, more than 16.1 million persons in the United States suffer from severe depressive illness each year, with women having a higher prevalence than males. Furthermore, NeuroWave Systems Inc. has specifically designed the EasyPrep electrodes are proprietary disposable EEG electrodes for NeuroWave's brain monitoring technologies. The electrodes ensure the acquisition of high-fidelity micro-volt EEG signals and facilitate rapid and easy use even by non-specialists. Therefore, it has increased the demand for disposable EEG electrodes in the forecast period.
Market Competitive Landscape
