The global cranial clamps market size was valued at USD 254.99 million in 2021 and is predicted to reach at USD 386.18 million by 2030, increasing at a CAGR of 4.72% from 2022 to 2030.
Neurosurgery uses cranial clamps to support the patient's head during surgery. Pre-configured head fixation devices are neurology's most important medical gadget. Most neurosurgery operations require robust head fixation. Mistakes during brain surgery can be fatal. A cranial clamp holds the skull in place during head or brain surgery. Spinal procedures use cranial fixation to preserve stiffness.
Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and epilepsy and cerebrovascular disorders like aneurysms benefit from cranial clamp surgery. Medical imaging uses CT and MRI scanners (MRI). Increased usage of cranial clamps in neurosurgery increases trauma, malignancy, and other risk factors. As healthcare infrastructure, hospital numbers, and neurosurgery facilities grow, so does demand for cranial clamps.
MRI, CT, and skull radiography use cranial clamps. This surge is partly due to brain tumors and hydrocephalus in children. Head trauma, pediatric difficulties, and neurodegenerative disorders are increasing the incidence of neurosurgeries. Since 2006, TBI has been the leading cause of death in the US, and its prevalence is rising by 53% year, according to the CDC (CDC).
Trauma, cancer, and other risk factors are boosting neurosurgery's usage of cranial clamps. Growing healthcare infrastructure, hospitals, and neurosurgery specialist centers enhance cranial clamp demand. TBIs, CNS disorders, and brain cancers are on the rise. This drives the Cranial Clamps Market.
Technological developments are popularizing radiolucent and sterilized cranial clamps. Novel surgical approaches have resulted in a reduced surgical footprint, requiring miniaturized surgical instruments. Multipoint instruments and skull-pressure sensors have resulted. Aluminum inlays lighten instruments.
Other medical equipment and items have also undergone technological advancements. Cranial clamps are used for ear, throat, and nasal surgeries. In orthopedic or musculoskeletal procedures, cranium lamps are used. Clamps hold the patient's neck and head during surgery. This reduces the danger of soft tissue damage during microsurgery. Rising rates of brain and CNS malignancies and TBIs requiring surgery have increased demand for cranial clamps.
In the past two decades, the number and scope of healthcare institutions and specialty hospitals has grown. This is typical in developing countries like China and India. Thus, the global market for cranial clams will have attractive growth potential. Medical tourism is gaining popularity, and as a result, more patients are choosing to travel to emerging and developed nations with superior healthcare facilities. This movement gives current enterprises additional money-making chances.
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America, and Middle East & Africa make up the Global Cranial Clamps Market.
North America led cranial clamps in 2021. This was attributed to an increase in tumor removal surgeries and neurological illnesses like Parkinson's and epilepsy. Rapid technical advances in neurosurgical devices could fuel the growth.
The Alzheimer's Association predicts one million Americans will have Parkinson's disease by 2020. (PD). 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year. Increasing numbers of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and new market participants in this region are driving market expansion.
Favorable government measures, increased healthcare spending, and an increase in qualified neurosurgeons are expected to boost the Asia-Pacific region's CAGR.
According to India's National Health Portal, Brain Tumour Day is on June 8. This day raises awareness about brain tumours and surgical treatments. Such activities are expected to boost the region's cranial clamp industry during the following few years.
