The global cranial implants market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.62 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. Increasing cases of brain cancer and traumas such as malignant brain tumor is anticipated to boost the growth. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2019, 23,820 people were diagnosed with brain tumor.
One of the major causes of brain tumor is abnormal changes that occur in normal brain cells that may lead to formation of brain tumors. Brain tumor is classified into benign which is non-cancerous and malignant tumors which are cancerous. Prevalence of malignant tumor is witnessing a rise in U.S. owing to the factors such as unhealthy lifestyle and genetic disorders.
Technological advancements such as 3D printing, cranial implant fabrication through computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing modeling, regeneration of larger bone defects through tissue engineering therapies plays a vital role in fueling market growth. For instance, Renishaw plc, launched its metal 3D printing craniomaxillofacial implants which produces complex shapes that are not possible with traditional machining method.
