China is leading the global standardization efforts for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology, having assumed the chairmanship of the secretariat for ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 43, a joint committee under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). BCI technology has been designated a national development priority by China and included in its 15th Five-Year Plan and government work reports. The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council recently issued a joint directive calling for accelerated industrialization and commercialization of BCI. Analysts believe this is a "very significant step" for Chinese and global BCI companies, with the Chinese BCI market projected to reach 6.14 billion yuan (approximately $919.88 million) by 2028.
