The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market has grown steadily in recent years. It will increase from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $2.36 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
Growth is driven by the rising number of road accidents, increasing number of neurosurgeons and specialized hospitals, a higher prevalence of cranial deformities, and an increase in sports-related injuries and military injuries.
The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market is expected to grow to $3.11 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.1%.
The rise is attributed to the growing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries, neurological diseases, the aging population, increasing healthcare expenditure, and greater brain health awareness. Key trends include advancements in neurosurgical techniques, minimally invasive surgeries, new cranial fixation devices, demand for customized implants, and R&D investment.
The increasing occurrence of neurological diseases is projected to fuel the growth of the cranial fixation and stabilization device market. Neurological disorders, which affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, are on the rise due to an aging population, higher life expectancy, and improved diagnosis. Cranial fixation and stabilization devices are critical in neurological surgeries to immobilize the head during procedures involving the brain or skull. For example, in September 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare projected that the number of Australians living with dementia would more than double from 411,100 in 2023 to 849,300 by 2058. This rise in neurological diseases drives the cranial fixation and stabilization device market.
