Asia Pacific Skull Clamp Market Outlook

There is an increasing prevalence of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. According to WHO, in 2024, about 50 million people worldwide are suffering from epilepsy, and about 80% of these people live in low- and middle-income countries. According to Parkinson’s Foundation in 2023, more than 10 million people across the world were suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Drugs are generally used for the treatment of these diseases. However, there is an increase in focus on the use of surgical methods such as deep brain stimulation for the treatment of neurological disorders, specifically when the drugs have low effects. According to an article “Epilepsy Surgery”, epilepsy patients may be treated with the help of a small electrode. As per the same article, about 50% of patients who undergo neuromodulation surgeries may experience better control of their seizures. Between 50% and 85% of individuals who undergo resection surgery or a hemispherectomy may experience significant improvement in seizure control and become seizure-free in some cases. Due to the better results of surgical procedures for neurological disorders, there will be an increase in the number of patients that will opt for these options, which, in turn, will fuel the number of neurological surgeries. As these surgeries are related to the brain, stabilization of the skull during the surgery is important. Thus, there will be an increase in demand for skull clamps. Thus, the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the skull clamp market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Skull Clamp Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Asia Pacific skull clamp market comprises China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China held the largest share in 2023.

In China, the growth is mainly attributed to the increasing prevalence of neurosurgery in China and the increasing burden of various other brain surgeries. The rising number of road accidents and stroke (cerebrovascular accident) cases are the major factors driving the skull clamp market in the country. China has more patients with cerebrovascular stroke than most other countries in the world, making this condition a major public health concern. For instance, according to the China Stroke High-risk Population Screening and Intervention Program, an estimated 17.8 million adults in China experienced a stroke in 2020, with 3.4 million experiencing their first-ever stroke, leading to 2.3 million deaths. Cerebrovascular diseases ranked third among the leading causes of death for patients suffering from malignant tumors and heart disease. Moreover, there is a rise in neurosurgical procedures involving the placement of aneurysm clips for treating brain aneurysms. For instance, there were over 700 surgeries on cerebral aneurysms at the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine (SAHZU) every year, 45% of which are treated with craniotomies.
