The cognitive diagnostics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.21% over the forecast period, increasing from US$137.738 billion in 2025 to US$195.061 billion by 2030.
The cognitive diagnostics market is related to the field of medical technology that involves the assessment and diagnosis of cognitive disorders. The cognitive diagnostics market is driven by factors such as the increasing geriatric population, growing chronic disease ailments, and rising awareness about cognitive decline. As per the research, certain cognitive functions, including memory, executive functions, processing speed, and reasoning, begin to decline as early as the thirties. Furthermore, studies suggest that mild cognitive impairment affects 10-20% of adults over 65, with the potential to evolve into more severe cognitive issues.

The introduction of innovative products and new metrics related to cognitive functions is further bolstering the market. Muse by Interaxon announced the launch of a new cognitive performance metric, Alpha Peak in September 2024. As the first in a suite of advanced brain health metrics, Alpha Peak empowers users to enhance cognitive performance through personalized, actionable insights with an easy-to-understand score paving the way for enhanced mental fitness. The users can monitor lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep, which can directly correlate changes with their Alpha Peak score, and receive personalized prompts to optimize their habits accordingly.
The growing elderly population worldwide is the leading cause of the demand for cognitive diagnostics and treatments. The aging population has an immense effect on the healthcare sector. According to the WHO, by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be 60 years or over. By then, the share of the population aged 60 years will be 1.4 billion.
By 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 years and older will be 2.1 billion. The cognitive diagnostics market will benefit from this increasing elderly population. A disease like Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia among older adults. This is an irreversible degeneration of the brain that causes disruptions in memory, cognition, personality, and other functions. Further, Parkinson's disease is the second most neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's disease, which affects up to two million Americans, mostly aged 60 and older. These diseases need proper diagnostics and treatments, hence the cognitive diagnostics market will be fueled by the growing grey population.
Chronic diseases tend to be of long duration and are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. The major types of chronic diseases are heart attacks, stroke, cancer, diabetes, asthma, etc. Most of these diseases account for 80% of all premature deaths. The increasing number of chronic diseases and ailments can cause long-term and short-term cognitive impairment. The proper cognitive diagnostics are needed to understand the complications of these cognitive impairments.
By geography, the cognitive diagnostics market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region such as ASEAN countries.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to see notable growth in the growing healthcare industry, increasing the population of the elderly, and growing concern for chronic ailments. According to the Asian Development Bank, by 2050, one in four people in Asia and the Pacific will be over 60 years old. The population aged over 60 in the region will triple between 2010 and 2050, reaching close to 1.3 billion people. In some countries, this transition will happen very rapidly, such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Further, growing research on the fields of depression, insomnia, and PTSD, will increase the demand for devices, devices, and drugs towards enhancing the quality of life for those affected in the region.
