Cranial Implants Market Outlook

  • CDC reports approximately 2 lakh hospitalizations in 2020 and around 69,473 deaths related to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in 2021. Hence, the demand for cranial implants is on the rise.
  • The use of 3D printing is among the major market trends. In April 2024, 3D Systems obtained FDA clearance for the EXT 220 MED printer. It uses medical-grade PEEK materials to create 3D-printed craniums for cranial reconstruction.
  • In May 2024, researchers from USC's Keck School of Medicine and Caltech implanted a transparent cranial window in a patient for high-resolution brain imaging using functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI). Technical advancements are expected to boost the market value in the forecast period.

Cranial Implants Market Overview

Cranial implants are medical devices made from materials such as titanium and polyethylene to repair or replace bone defects in the skull resulting from different conditions. They repair the protective framework of the skull using cutting-edge imaging and 3D printing techniques. These implants provide structural support and are crucial in aesthetic restoration which also enhance patients' quality of life by reducing the chances of rejection and infection. Cranial implants are required for conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, congenital skull defects, and tumor removal, as these indications often result in cranial defects. They also address cosmetic abnormalities, improving mental health and social interactions through the restoration of a normal skull shape.

The cranial implants are categorized based on materials and personalized design. It includes material options such as titanium for durability, PMMA for easy shaping, and porous polyethylene for adaptability. Customized implants are made from the CT scan information which guarantee precise fit and optimal result. These implants are available in common sizes and shapes with every category offering distinct advantages depending on factors such as defect size and patient health.

Cranial Implants Market Growth Drivers

Increasing Cranial Surgeries Spur Market Growth

The growing demand for cranial implants is being driven by an increase in traumatic brain injuries (TBI), congenital skull defects, and the necessity for tumor resection surgeries. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that TBI is a leading cause of death in the region. There were approximately 2 lakh TBI-related hospitalizations in 2020 and around 69,473 TBI-related deaths in 2021.Higher rates of road accidents and sports injuries also play a significant role in the increase in cranial surgeries.

Technological Advancements Drive the Global Cranial Implants Market Demand

Technological progress in 3D printing, imaging, materials, surface modification, and CAD/CAM technologies are fueling market growth. In April 2024, 3D Systems obtained FDA clearance for the EXT 220 MED printer. It uses medical-grade PEEK materials to create 3D-printed craniums for cranial reconstruction. The printer offers a cleanroom environment and efficient workflow, reducing material waste and costs for hospitals. Additionally, in May 2024, researchers from the USC's Keck School of Medicine and Caltech implanted a transparent cranial window in a patient for high-resolution brain imaging using functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI). This non-invasive method shows promise for patient monitoring and brain function studies. These advancements enhance surgical results, and patient contentment and lower the chances of infection.

Cranial Implants Market Trends

The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current scenario. Some of the notable trends are as follows:

Increased Geriatric Population

Brain injuries and tumors are more common in older individuals, necessitating cranial surgery in many cases. Medical progress and advancements in surgery have enhanced results for elderly patients, leading to an increase in the frequency of cranial surgeries. The increasing focus on improving quality of life and enhancing aesthetics in the elderly is also fueling the need for cranial implants.

Use of Advanced Materials

There is increased research into using advanced materials for better performance and outcomes for patients. Material advancements have resulted in implants that possess improved biocompatibility, strength, and integration capabilities. Bioresorbable polymers are gaining popularity as they slowly dissolve and are replaced by natural bone. It decreases the necessity for additional surgeries. Titanium is commonly used with enhanced surface treatments to improve bone integration and decrease infection risks. Advanced polymers such as porous polyethylene offer structural support and durable outcomes with tissue ingrowth, meeting both medical and aesthetic requirements for cranial reconstruction.

Rising Research and Development Activities

Increased research and development (R&D) activities for advancements in designs, materials, and manufacturing methods are amongst the major market trends. Cutting-edge technologies such as imaging and computer-aided design allow for custom implants to improve surgical results. Current studies are concentrating on novel materials such as bioresorbable polymers and nanocomposites to enhance biocompatibility.

Rising Awareness Regarding Public Health

The rising awareness in public has resulted in a stronger focus on prompt and efficient care for head injuries and abnormalities. Healthcare institutions are advocating for the advantages of cranial implants, urging both patients and medical professionals to explore more advanced surgical choices. Campaigns by healthcare organization also highlight the cranial implant benefits. Government programs promote trauma care and neurosurgery. Additionally, diagnostic equipment assists in early detection and treatment.
