Cranial Implants Market Report 2025

The cranial implants market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $1.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased prevalence of trauma and injury cases, neurological surgeries, patient-specific implants, aging population, regulatory compliance, increased medical tourism.

The cranial implants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing emerging technologies, increasing minimally invasive procedures, increasing neurological disorders, growing telemedicine and remote surgery, growing need for biocompatible materials. Major trends in the forecast period include iot integration, customized cranial reconstruction, technological innovations, innovative solutions, strategic partnerships.

The increasing prevalence of neurological diseases and road accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the cranial implants market during the forecast period. Parkinson's disease statistics indicate that it is the second most common age-related neurological disorder following Alzheimer's disease. Cranial implants allow doctors to examine the brain without the need to drill a new hole in the skull each time, simplifying the treatment of neurological disorders. For instance, according to Neuroscience News, a science website, commission documents identify traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a global public health issue, affecting 55 million people worldwide and costing over US$400 billion annually, while also being a leading cause of injury-related death and disability. The long-term effects of TBI can greatly affect individuals' quality of life, resulting in chronic health problems and increased healthcare expenses.

The rising demand for healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the cranial implants market in the future. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total amount of money spent on healthcare goods and services within a specific region or country over a defined period. This includes expenses for medical consultations, hospital visits, surgeries, diagnostic tests, and treatments. Healthcare expenditure also encompasses the manufacturing and costs related to the surgical procedures for implanting cranial devices in patients. For example, in July 2024, according to the American Medical Association, a U.S.-based organization, health spending in the U.S. grew by 4.1% in 2022, reaching $4.5 trillion, or $13,493 per person. Therefore, the increasing demand for healthcare expenditure is driving the growth of the cranial implants market.

Innovative technologies, such as 3D printing, are becoming pivotal in the cranial implants market, with major companies adopting these advancements for increased profitability. 3D Systems, a US-based 3D printer manufacturing company, introduced 3D printing technology for cranial implants in October 2023. The technology utilizes PEEK (polyetheretherketone) to create patient-specific implants tailored to individual anatomies. This approach ensures a precise fit, adhering to legal requirements for custom implants. The incorporation of 3D printing technology represents a significant leap in the cranial implants market, enhancing patient outcomes through personalized solutions.

Key companies in the cranial implants market are concentrating on product innovation, such as the polyether ether ketone (PEEK) cranial implant, to gain a competitive advantage. A PEEK cranial implant is designed for the restoration of cranial defects in a single surgery. For instance, in October 2023, 3D Systems, a company specializing in 3D printing technologies, produced cranial implants using VESTAKEEP i4 3DF PEEK. These implants are utilized to replace or repair sections of the skull that have been damaged due to traumatic brain injury, congenital deformities, or surgical procedures. They are tailored to be patient-specific, ensuring a better fit and enhancing outcomes in cranioplasty procedures.

In a strategic move to enhance its market position and broaden its product offerings, Incite Innovations, a US-based medical device company, made a significant acquisition in January 2022. The company acquired NeuroStructures Inc., a US-based manufacturer specializing in spinal implants. This strategic acquisition is expected to contribute to Incite Innovations' expansion in the spinal implant market and surgical instruments sector, reinforcing its commitment to delivering advanced medical solutions.

Cranial implants serve various purposes, such as protecting intracranial structures, reconstructing skull shapes, normalizing cerebral hemodynamics, and assisting in cranial reconstruction procedures following defects.

The main types of cranial implants are categorized as customized and non-customized. Customized implants are designed to adapt to tissue defects by transforming their shape in response to changes in temperature, pressure, or magnetic fields after transplantation. Materials commonly used in the manufacturing of cranial implants include polymers, metals, and ceramics. These implants find applications in hospitals, trauma centers, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, and other medical facilities.
