Traumatic Brain Injury Epidemiology Forecast

Key Highlights

• Traumatic Brain Injury is a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Long-term care focuses on improving function and quality of life through medication, therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
• Traumatic Brain Injury should not just be considered an acute ailment; it can also be a chronic disease that has a detrimental effect on the quality of life and is linked to long-term health outcomes. Service development can be influenced by public health and policy knowledge of the scope, variety, and seriousness of Traumatic Brain Injury’s effects. In order to avoid these longer-term effects, healthcare services should also reevaluate their strategies.
• DelveInsight’s analyst projects that the total incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury in 7MM were approximately 4,317,000 in 2024, and these cases are further expected to increase during the forecasted period (2025–2034). 
• The highest number of incident cases were estimated in the US, followed by Japan, Germany, France, and the UK in 2024.
• Traumatic Brain Injury is predominantly observed in adults, accounting for approximately 71% of all cases in the United States.
• One key aspect of Traumatic Brain Injury is the urgency of obtaining a diagnosis and treatment. While not every injury requires therapeutic intervention, minimizing damage after the first concussion could help reduce the impact of future injuries.

DelveInsight’s ‘Traumatic Brain Injury (Traumatic Brain Injury) – Epidemiology Forecast – 2034’ report delivers an in-depth understanding of Traumatic Brain Injury, historical and forecasted epidemiology in the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), and the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Traumatic Brain Injury Understanding

Traumatic Brain Injury Overview

Traumatic Brain Injury is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Common causes include car or motorcycle crashes, falls, sports injuries, and assaults. Injuries can range from mild concussions-to-severe permanent brain damage. The injury that occurs at the moment of impact is known as the primary injury. Primary injuries can involve a specific lobe of the brain or can involve the entire brain. Sometimes, the skull may be fractured, but not always. During the impact of an accident, the brain crashes back and forth inside the skull, causing bruising, bleeding, and tearing of nerve fibers. 

Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. A person with a mild Traumatic Brain Injury may remain conscious or experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes. Other symptoms of mild Traumatic Brain Injury include headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue or lethargy, a change in sleep patterns, behavioral or mood changes, and trouble with memory, concentration, attention, or thinking. A person with a moderate or severe Traumatic Brain Injury may show these same symptoms but may also have a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, an inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the extremities, loss of coordination, and increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation.

Traumatic Brain Injury Diagnosis

No single test is able to confirm the diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury definitively. Doctors assess the history of the injury, the patient’s symptoms, the physical examination, and additional tests, including neuroradiology, to confirm a diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury. Many Traumatic Brain Injury patients experience a loss of consciousness (blacking out) at the time of their injury. Loss of consciousness most commonly lasts from seconds to minutes, but severe Traumatic Brain Injury may last for days (coma) and may persist indefinitely in the most severe cases. Patients with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (concussion) may not experience any loss of consciousness. Most Traumatic Brain Injury patients have some degree of amnesia (loss of memory) for the minutes to hours or longer surrounding their injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury Epidemiology

The Traumatic Brain Injury epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury, severity-specific incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury, gender-specific incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury, and age-specific incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury, in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), United Kingdom, and Japan from 2021 to 2034. 

• In the 7MM, the US accounted for the highest number of incident cases of Traumatic Brain Injury, with nearly 3,042,000 cases in 2024.
• Among EU4 and the UK, the maximum cases were reported in Germany, followed by France, and the least cases were found in Spain. 
• In the UK, approximately 125,000 adults and 49,000 children experienced Traumatic Brain Injury in 2024.
• Japan accounted for about 280,000 cases of mild Traumatic Brain Injury, 43,000 cases of moderate Traumatic Brain Injury, and about 5,900 cases of severe Traumatic Brain Injury in 2024.
• In the 7MM, males emerged as the most affected group by Traumatic Brain Injury in 2024, outpacing females in incidence and impact.
