BrainTech 2025 global market report: $4.2B raised, BCI leads, China captures 25% of global investment
Summary
Newfund's HEKA fund published a comprehensive global BrainTech market analysis for 2025, quantifying $4.2 billion raised across US and European markets, with BCI companies capturing the largest segment. China-based BrainTech raised approximately $1.05B in the period. Q1 2026 showed $2.8B raised in three months alone — 256% growth vs. Q1 2025. Key finding: BrainTech now accounts for over 19% of global investment in digital health. The report also identified that only 5 investors participated in more than one deal, highlighting a fragmented but rapidly deepening investor base.
Why it matters
Newfund's data showing BrainTech at 19% of global digital health investment — up from near-zero five years ago — is the most comprehensive market sizing for the sector from an investor source with real portfolio data. The 256% Q1 2026 growth rate over Q1 2025 confirms that the sector is in exponential funding acceleration, not linear growth, reflecting the compounding effect of Neuralink's clinical milestones and China's commercial BCI approval.
