The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission recently jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Innovative Development of the Brain Computer Interface Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), proposing two-step development goals by 2027 and 2030, clarifying five key tasks, refining 17 specific measures, further promoting the high-quality development of the brain computer interface industry, and accelerating the cultivation and formation of a new industrial track in the future. Industry insiders analyze that the brain computer interface industry chain mainly includes three major links: upstream basic hardware, midstream brain computer interface systems, and downstream scenario applications. The relevant deployment has pointed out the direction for the innovation of brain computer interface products and the expansion of application scenarios. With the continuous expansion of brain computer application scenarios, its market demand will continue to increase. It is expected that by 2028, the market size of China's brain computer interface will exceed 6 billion yuan. Brain computer interface establishes information channels between the brain and machines, achieving collaborative interaction between biological intelligence and machine intelligence, and is a cutting-edge technology for the integrated development of life sciences and information sciences. The Opinion proposes that by 2027, breakthroughs will be made in key technologies of brain computer interfaces, and an advanced technology system, industrial system, and standard system will be initially established. The performance of electrodes, chips, and whole machine products has reached the international advanced level, and brain computer interface products are accelerating their application in industrial manufacturing, medical health, consumer life, and other fields. The industrial scale continues to grow, creating 2 to 3 industrial development clusters and exploring a number of new scenarios, models, and formats. By 2030, the innovation capability of the brain computer interface industry will significantly improve, forming a safe and reliable industrial system, cultivating 2 to 3 globally influential leading enterprises and a group of specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, building an internationally competitive industrial ecosystem, and entering the forefront of the world in comprehensive strength. The Opinion clarifies five key tasks, including strengthening the research and development of basic software and hardware, creating high-performance products, promoting the application of technological achievements, strengthening innovation entities, and enhancing industrial support capabilities, and refines 17 specific measures. For example, in strengthening the research and development of basic software and hardware, innovative brain signal sensing components are proposed to break through key brain computer chips and solidify the foundation of software tools. This includes developing high channel and high-speed brain signal acquisition chips, strengthening analog-to-digital conversion, channel management, and noise suppression, and enhancing brain signal acquisition and amplification capabilities. In terms of creating high-performance products, the Opinion proposes to accelerate breakthroughs in the research and development of implantable devices, promote mass production iteration of non implantable devices, and develop auxiliary devices. This includes the development of high-precision surgical robots for implanting brain computer interfaces, breakthroughs in sub micron level precision control and dynamic adjustment technology, and the enhancement of regional accurate real-time imaging and 3D reconstruction capabilities. At the same time, the Opinion also clarifies three key projects: core software and hardware strong foundation project, complete machine quality project, and application expansion project. Among them, it is clear to explore industrial manufacturing applications, accelerate medical and health applications, and explore consumer applications in daily life. Wang Xu, Senior Analyst at CCID Consulting's Medical and Health Industry Research Center, told Economic Reference Daily reporters that brain computer interfaces are an important field with foresight and strategy. The upstream of its industry chain includes EEG acquisition equipment and external control equipment, the midstream includes EEG acquisition platforms and brain computer interface equipment, and the downstream includes various application scenarios such as medical health, industry, entertainment, and education. In the future, with the continuous emergence of innovative achievements in brain computer interface technology, the deepening of medical application scenarios, and the expansion of consumer, industrial, educational and other application scenarios, market demand will continue to increase. According to research data from CCID Consulting, the market size of China's brain computer interface is expected to reach 3.2 billion yuan in 2024, with a growth rate of 18.8%. It is expected that by 2028, the market size of China's brain computer interface will reach 6.14 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.7% from 2024 to 2028. It is worth mentioning that the current brain computer interface industry is highly valued by the capital market. The "Standardization Roadmap for Brain Computer Interfaces (2025)" released by the Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance shows that according to statistics from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, as of the end of March 2025, there have been over 1000 publicly disclosed global investment and financing transactions in the field of brain computer interfaces, and more than 300 brain computer interface companies have received investments. From the perspective of the Chinese market, CCID Consulting has compiled a total of 30 investment and financing events in the field of brain computer interfaces in China from 2022 to 2024, with a total investment and financing amount of 1.34 billion yuan. From the perspective of investment and financing amount structure, the non implantable brain computer interface field has the highest investment and financing amount, reaching 780 million yuan; Next is the field of implantable brain computer interfaces, with an investment and financing amount of 560 million yuan. In addition, angel round stage investment and financing are active, for example, Huichuang Medical and Brain Tiger Technology have both received three rounds of financing in three years, accelerating product research and development. Industry insiders believe that from the perspective of investment and financing trends in China's brain computer interface field, the overall investment trend is positive. Under the background of intensive policy implementation and the guidance of the country's active promotion of early and small investment in cutting-edge technology, investor confidence continues to strengthen. Open source securities research indicates that brain computer interface technology has great potential in the replacement of neuropharmaceuticals, as well as in markets such as sleep, wellness, and consumer entertainment. Therefore, we are optimistic about investment opportunities in the field of brain computer interfaces under the resonance of policies and technologies. At the end of August 7th, the concept of brain computer interfaces collectively rose. According to data from Oriental Wealth, as of the close on August 7th, the brain computer interface sector has risen by 1.84%. (New Society)
