Cranial Implants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Polymer, Ceramic, Metal), By Type (Customized Cranial Implants, Non-customized Cranial Implants), By End-user (Hospital & Trauma CentresAmbulatory Surgical Centers, Speciality clinics, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

According to the American Migraine Foundation, almost 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries occur every year in the U.S., having a significant impact on the lives of the patients. Cranial reconstruction procedure is prominently performed to restore the skull contour and to provide protection to intracranial structures.

People of every age group are susceptible to health problems requiring them to undergo a craniotomy. The cranial defects arising due to traumatic brain injuries can have a life-long effect on the patient by creating functional, physical and aesthetic disturbances.

Cranial implants are used in conditions such as neurosurgery, casualty surgery, tumor surgery, plastic reconstruction, and aesthetic surgery. The emerging use of software solutions such as CAD (computer-aided design and drafting)/ CAM (Computer-aided manufacturing) for development of implants are playing a vital role superior treatment outcomes.

Global cranial implants market growth is prominently being driven by the increasing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries. Moreover, adoption of technology to improve the precision of implants are also projected to elevate the growth of the cranial implants market during the forecast period. 

However, increased risk of implant failure and stringent government regulations are expected to hamper the growth of the global cranial implant market during the forecast period.

Key Players Covered

The major companies covered in the global cranial implants market report include Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Medtronic, DePuy Synthes, OsteoMed, Medartis Holding AG, 3di GmbH, Xilloc Medical B.V., Cousin Biotech, KLS Martin Group, Bioplate, Inc., Synimed Synergie Ingenierie Medicale SARL and other players.
