Cranial fixation and stabilization devices are medical instruments designed to secure and stabilize the skull or cranial structures, particularly during surgical procedures or for managing cranial injuries. These devices help maintain the stability and alignment of cranial structures, especially in cases of severe trauma or delicate procedures.
The primary types of cranial fixation and stabilization devices are cranial fixation devices and cranial stabilization devices. Resorbable fixation systems are made from materials that gradually break down and are absorbed by the body over time, while nonresorbable systems remain in place permanently. These devices are used by various end users, including hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cranial fixation and stabilization devices market statistics, including cranial fixation and stabilization devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cranial fixation and stabilization devices market share, detailed cranial fixation and stabilization devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cranial fixation and stabilization devices industry. This cranial fixation and stabilization devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $2.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing number of road accidents, rising number of neurosurgeons and specialized hospitals, increasing prevalence of cranial deformities, rising incidence of sports-related injuries, increasing number of military injuries.
The cranial fixation and stabilization devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries, rising incidence of neurological diseases, growing aging population, increasing healthcare expenditure, rising awareness about brain health. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in neurosurgical techniques, adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, technological advancements in cranial fixation devices, demand for customized cranial implants, investment in research and development.
The growing prevalence of neurological diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the cranial fixation and stabilization device market in the coming years. Neurological diseases affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, leading to symptoms such as cognitive decline, motor dysfunction, and sensory disturbances. The rise in neurological diseases is attributed to factors like an aging population, longer life expectancy, and advancements in awareness and diagnostic capabilities. Cranial fixation and stabilization devices are essential in neurological procedures to securely immobilize the head and ensure accurate, stable positioning during surgeries or treatments involving the brain and skull. For example, in September 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australian government agency, projected that the number of people living with dementia in Australia would more than double, from approximately 411,100 in 2023 to 849,300 by 2058, with around 315,500 men and 533,800 women affected. As such, the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases is fueling the growth of the cranial fixation and stabilization device market.
Leading companies in the cranial fixation and stabilization device market are innovating with products such as 3D-printed cranial implants, which offer advanced features for personalized care. A 3D-printed cranial implant is a custom medical device made using additive manufacturing technology to repair or reconstruct cranial defects or injuries. For example, in April 2024, 3D Systems, a US-based company specializing in 3D printing, announced that the FDA had approved its VSP PEEK Cranial Implant. This implant, the first FDA-cleared additively manufactured PEEK implant for cranioplasty, is designed to address skull defects. Made from a high-performance polymer known for its mechanical properties similar to human bone, PEEK offers excellent biocompatibility, resistance to bodily fluids, and stability across a broad temperature range. Additionally, PEEK's radiolucency ensures minimal interference with imaging, facilitating clearer assessments of the surgical site and implant.
In June 2022, Lojer Oy, a medical technology company based in Finland, acquired Merivaara Oy for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to boost Lojer's international presence and open new export markets in countries such as England, Germany, and the USA. The goal is to enhance Lojer's appeal as a partner for hospitals and distributors of health technology products. Merivaara Oy is a Finnish company specializing in cranial fixation products.
