Global Cranial Implants Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Cranial Implants Market Analysis

The Global Cranial Implants Market size is estimated at USD 1.31 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.79 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The major factors attributing to the growth of the cranial implants market are a rise in brain tumors, an increased geriatric population, and enhanced public health awareness and measures that have led to rapid and effective medical interventions.

The increasing burden of brain tumors is expected to boost the demand for cranial implants and is expected to contribute to the studied market growth. For instance, as per the data updated by the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) Organization in February 2024, brain and other nervous system cancer cases were estimated to reach 341 thousand and 375 thousand by 2025 and 2030 respectively, globally.

Similarly, as per the data published by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) in April 2024, the United States witnesses an estimated 1.7 to 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries annually, with 10% stemming from sports and recreational activities. Hence, the high burden of brain tumors and brain injuries likely drive the market growth over the study period.

Furthermore, the widespread adoption of cranial implants in various surgical procedures like cranioplasty is expected to drive market growth over the study period. For instance, in October 2023, 3D Systems developed a patient-specific 3D-printed cranial implant with its point-of-care technologies that was utilized in a cranioplasty procedure at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. Hence, the implementation of these advanced cranial implants will likely increase demand and adoption over the coming years, thereby boosting market growth over the forecast period.

Hence, given the abovementioned factors, such as the high burden of brain injuries and the widespread adoption of cranial implants, the market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. However, the high cost of cranioplasty and neurosurgical procedures likely hampers the market's growth over the forecast period.
