Cranial Fixation System Global Market Report 2025

The cranial fixation system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.5 billion in 2024 to $1.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The expansion during the historic period can be linked to the increasing occurrence of traumatic brain injuries, a rise in neurological disorders, a growing demand for neurosurgeries, a surge in road accidents, and a higher incidence of orthopedic diseases.

The cranial fixation system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in robotic-assisted surgeries, the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques, the growing cases of trauma and spinal conditions, the surge in medical tourism, and the expanding use of deep brain stimulation procedures. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in product development, a growing shift toward patient-specific implants, innovations in surgical techniques and materials, customization and patient-centric solutions, and an emphasis on personalized medicine.

The increasing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) is anticipated to drive the expansion of the cranial fixation system market in the coming years. TBI refers to injuries caused by external forces, such as blows or jolts to the head, resulting in brain damage. The growing incidence of TBI is linked to a rise in road traffic accidents, sports-related injuries, falls among the elderly, and trauma sustained in military combat. Cranial fixation systems play a crucial role in stabilizing skull fractures and securing bone fragments, facilitating proper healing and minimizing complications in TBI patients. For example, a report published by the State of Alaska, a US-based government official website, in November 2023 revealed that in 2022, approximately 3,263 individuals in Alaska suffered traumatic brain injuries, including both fatal cases and non-fatal hospital or emergency department discharges. Among those affected, 264 individuals (36 per 100,000 population) lost their lives due to TBI-related causes. As a result, the increasing occurrence of TBI is propelling the demand for cranial fixation systems.

Leading companies in the cranial fixation system market are concentrating on the development of innovative products, such as advanced skull stabilization devices, to enhance the precision and safety of neurosurgical procedures. These devices are designed to securely stabilize the skull during surgery, ensuring accuracy and reducing risks. For instance, in July 2023, Stryker Corporation, a US-based medical company, introduced the Q guidance system with cranial guidance software. This system enhances cranial surgeries by providing precise navigation and advanced imaging capabilities, improving surgical planning and accuracy. With a user-friendly interface and high-speed performance, it streamlines workflows and contributes to better patient outcomes.

In June 2022, Lojer Oy, a Finland-based medical technology company specializing in hospital equipment and furniture, acquired Merivaara Oy for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to expand Lojer Oy’s product portfolio and strengthen its international market presence while fostering innovation and service improvements. Merivaara Oy, also based in Finland, focuses on designing and manufacturing advanced medical technology, including operating room equipment, surgical tables, and positioning devices for cranial surgeries.

A cranial fixation system is a medical device designed to stabilize and secure cranial bones following neurosurgery, trauma, or cranial reconstruction procedures. This system typically consists of various components that work together to immobilize the head, preventing movement during intricate operations such as brain surgery. Cranial fixation systems play a crucial role in neurosurgery and trauma care, ensuring precise bone alignment and long-term stability.

The primary product types within cranial fixation systems include implants, mesh, plates and screws, as well as other related components. Implants are medical devices surgically placed in the body to replace or support biological structures, while cranial fixation systems help secure these implants during neurosurgical procedures. These systems are utilized for various medical conditions, such as brain aneurysms, brain cancer, hydrocephalus, and other neurological disorders. Based on absorbability, they are classified as either absorbable or non-absorbable. The main end-users of cranial fixation systems include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
