The global market for brain monitoring devices was valued at $1.08 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow to $1.63 billion, up 8.6 percent, by 2017.
Multimodal monitoring of brain function is growing in many preoperative settings, largely due its increased use to assess the depths of anesthesia and sedation. North America dominated the global market in 2012, with Europe and Asia following. Experts expect North American to continue to be a leader, according to the report.
A shortage of technicians to run these devices will limit the growth of the market.
