Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Management Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.53% during the forecast period to reach US$961.845 million by 2027, from US$705.373 million in 2020. Cerebrospinal fluid is a bodily fuel found in the brain and spinal cord that protects the brain mechanically and immunologically. Various management devices, such as CSF drainage systems and CSF shunts, are used to control the flow of CSF away from the ventricles in the body, preventing inappropriate CSF accumulation and hydrocephalus.

The expansion of the market is being aided by the development of several neurohospitals in emerging countries, as well as increased chances for cheap treatment. The growing prevalence of neurological disorders, the high demand for minimally invasive surgeries, the growing geriatric population, rising disposable incomes, the advancement of healthcare infrastructure, and the development of advanced devices are among the contributing factors to the growth of the cerebrospinal fluid management devices market. Furthermore, the treatment of the disease demands advanced technology and infrastructure, both of which are commonly found in hospitals. Hospitals are treating various neurovascular illnesses as a result of the introduction of new products and technical improvements, that will give lucrative market growth prospects throughout the projected period. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, one to two out of every 1000 babies worldwide are born with hydrocephalus. As a result, the prevalence of hydrocephalus is expected to rise in the future, given the total number of babies each year.

One of the most significant constraints on global business is the scarcity of qualified neurosurgeons. Globally, there is a major scarcity of qualified specialists. The existing number of neurosurgeons is insufficient to meet the demand for quality healthcare in a rapidly rising senior population. Rising problems connected with CSF shunts and sensor-related infections are two major issues that are predicted to limit the worldwide cerebrospinal fluid management market's growth in the projected period. Apart from that, the market's growth is hampered by the high cost of devices and the infections generated by CSF shunts.

Key Developments

CereVasc closed its Series A round of USD 43.9 million in June 2020, led by Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund and ATON Partners, focusing on the E-shunt system’s clinical study as well as follow-up clinical research to support regulatory approvals. Biocept announced the commercial launch of the CNSide cerebrospinal fluid assay in April 2021 to meet the needs of patients with advanced brain cancer. Anuncia announced that its ReFlow system for CSF management obtained FDA breakthrough device designation in March 2020.

By product type, the global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market can be segmented into external drainage systems and shunts. Shunts are expected to dominate the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management industry in the next few years owing to the rising number of shunting procedures conducted worldwide, as well as the increasing number of revision shunt surgeries due to shunt malfunction and infection, which can be linked to this product segment's substantial market share. The advantages associated with these shunts over traditional shunts, such as the reduced likelihood of revision surgery and a shorter average length of hospital stay, are fuelling the expansion of this market.

By end-users, the global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market can be segmented into an adult, pediatric, and geriatric. During the forecast period, the paediatric category is estimated to account for a considerable revenue share of the market. The increased prevalence of congenital hydrocephalus and the increasing number of shunting procedures performed in the paediatric population are responsible for the high revenue growth. Furthermore, the geriatric segment is anticipated to have significant market growth due to the rising burden of neurological disorders and an ageing population.

By industry, the global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market can be segmented into hospitals, clinics, and others. Due to the large number of hospital cases linked to CSF management in the ageing population, the hospital segment is anticipated to account for a sizable market share and is expected to expand at the fastest rate over the projection period.

By geography, the global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market can be segmented into the Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East and Africa, South America, and Europe. Over the projected period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest rate. The developing medical tourism in India and other Asia Pacific countries, the rising prevalence of congenital hydrocephalus in China, and the growing geriatric population in various nations in the area are all factors driving revenue growth in this regional market.

Key Developments:

• Alcyone Lifesciences has received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to launch the Alivio Ventricular Catheter & Flusher System (Alivio System) for the treatment of hydrocephalus.
• Biocept announced the commercial launch of the CNSide cerebrospinal fluid assay in April 2021 to meet the needs of patients with advanced brain cancer. Anuncia announced that its ReFlow system for CSF management obtained FDA breakthrough device designation in March 2020.

COVID-19 Insights

The COVID-19 epidemic impacted the global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) management market significantly. The COVID-19 epidemic wreaked havoc on the hospital system by forcing the admission of large numbers of critically ill patients. COVID-19 treatment became a priority as a result of this delay in other healthcare deliveries. In addition, the installation of lockdowns hampered research and awareness programs. However, since the viral outbreak, the situation has greatly improved. The healthcare industry has seen a surge in investment with global recognition of the importance of R & D in healthcare and the development of breakthrough products As a result of increased investment activity, the CSF management industry is likely to grow rapidly.
