The global EEG and EMG devices market size is expected to be worth USD 1.9 billion in 2022 and the market is projected to touch USD 2.9 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the EEG and EMG Devices Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Biochemical signals are collected at cortical and muscular levels using electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG). Research fields such as neuromotor rehabilitation and physical and cognitive rehabilitation can benefit from their insights. According to the research objectives, EEG and EMG techniques have been independently used to guide or assess rehabilitation outcomes. A potential breakthrough approach to improve rehabilitation effectiveness involves combining EEG and EMG. Brain electrical activity is recorded using an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine. A scalp electrode detects brain activity when placed on a subject. Data is sent to a computer or cloud server from the electrodes by the EEG machine. Using electromyography (EMG), electrical impulses generated by muscle activity can be recorded. Researchers often use EMG to measure the effects of stimulating the brain's motor regions in neuromodulation research. Because of their time resolution, non-invasiveness, and portability, electroencephalograms (EEGs) and electromyograms (EMGs) are the techniques of choice for MoBIs, but synchronization requirements limit their usage to high-end research facilities. 

A scalp electrode connected to an EEG machine records the brain's natural electrical activity rather than delivering electrical energy to it. The noninvasive nature of this technique eliminates any major risks associated with it. Electromyography involves inserting a needle into a muscle to record electrical activity. The majority of Center investigators, however, use surface electrodes to record the electrical activity of the muscle of interest. Muscle activity is measured using EMG during rest, slight contraction, and forceful contraction. Electrical signals are not normally produced by muscle tissue when it is at rest. The oscilloscope should show a brief period of activity after an electrode is inserted, but no signal should remain afterward. The electrodes in EEG are mounted in elastic caps similar to bathing caps, ensuring that data can be collected from identical scalp positions across all participants.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Healthcare to Hamper Market 

COVID-19 caused a decline in revenues for medical services such as electroencephalography in 2020 and 2021. Coronavirus spread was prevented by declining major medical procedures during the pandemic. The easing of restrictions in the post-COVID period should result in an increase in electroencephalography procedures. Neurology-related complications caused by the Coronavirus will be monitored and identified using EEG systems during the pandemic.

Because of this, hospitals and clinics will provide substantial opportunities for EEG and EMG devices players. Despite social distancing measures and ongoing operations with a limited workforce, catering to the demand and meeting production deadlines could prove challenging.

Latest Trends

"Usage of EMG Device for the Detection of Radiculopathy to Drive the Market"

The electromyography (EMG) confirms the radiographic lesion neurophysiologically. A significant nerve root compromise is evident from EMG evidence of altered innervation. Radiculopathy is widely recognized as having positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials on EMG. The paraspinal muscles are the first to show EMG changes following nerve injury, underscoring the importance of examining them.

Driving Factors

"High Temporal Resolution of EEG Devices to Drive the Market"

EEG is superior to other neuroimaging methods due to its high temporal resolution, which allows it to measure brain responses in milliseconds. A second or more is required after the stimuli of interest are presented for other brain imaging methods such as fMRI. Additionally, behavioral tasks designed to avoid subjective uncertainties typically rely on reaction times and button presses. Considering the brain is capable of producing many complex neurophysiological processes in milliseconds, these processes can take up to a second. Therefore, EEG can detect pre-conscious processes that are otherwise unrecognized using self-report or response-based tasks because of its high temporal resolution. 

"Small Space Requirement of EEG Device to Drive the Market"

One of the major driving factors of the EEG and EMG devices market is the small space consumption of EEG devices. Compared to every other healthcare device including, fMRI, SPECT, PET, MRS, or MEG, EEG requires only a quiet room and briefcase-size equipment. MRI requires a 1-ton magnet in a magnetically shielded room, which costs upwards of several million dollars. MEG uses liquid helium-cooled detectors, which can only be used in magnetically shielded rooms.

Restraining Factors

"The Variation in Results of EEG Devices to Restrain the Market"

EEG recordings have poor spatial resolution as their main disadvantage. When measurements are taken at the scalp, the received signal is essentially the sum of a large population of neurons producing an electric field (perpendicular to the scalp). One electrode is capable of measuring one centimeter of the cortex, which contains hundreds of thousands of neurons. Several neighboring electrodes can pick up particularly intense electrical activity. As a result, the EEG signal does not allow researchers to distinguish between activities occurring in different but closely adjacent sites, nor does it allow them to pinpoint the exact source of the activity, thereby being a major factor in the EEG and EMG devices market growth.
