North America Skull Clamp Market Outlook

Skull clamps are frequently used in cranial neurosurgical procedures and selected cervical procedures. Its demand is majorly driven by the growing number of neurosurgeries owing to the rising incidence of brain and spinal tumors, brain aneurysms or cerebral aneurysms, and Parkinson’s disease. Further, advancements in surgical techniques and medical technology also play a significant role in this market's expansion. The development of more ergonomic and adjustable skull clamps, which enhance patient stabilization during surgery, further fuels demand. Additionally, as the medical field evolves, the adoption of these devices in specialized procedures promotes further growth.

According to data published by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, ~6.5 million people in the US (i.e., 1 in 50 persons) suffer from an unruptured brain aneurysm every year, and ~30,000 people suffer from cerebral aneurysm rupture yearly. The data also reveals that ~40.0% of ruptures are fatal and need intensive care and immediate attention. As per the National Library of Medicine information in 2022, the global prevalence of cerebral aneurysms was ~3.2%, with a mean age of 50 and an overall 1:1 gender ratio; this ratio changes significantly among people of age 50 and above to reach 2:0, with the predominance of females. Further, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2023, ~25,400 adults in the US were diagnosed with malignant tumors in the spinal cord and brain, and about 18,760 people will die due to these. Patient positioning and head fixation are the most crucial aspects of all brain surgeries. These procedures require an accurate understanding of the scalp and skull anatomy and the procedure for obtaining aneurysms. Hence, the increasing prevalence of brain aneurysms, brain cancer, and other neurological diseases which require surgeries is among the crucial factors driving the market growth of skull clamps.
