South & Central America 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.

South & Central America Skull Clamp Market Country Insights

Based on country, the South & Central America skull clamp market comprises Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America. Brazil held the largest share in 2023.

Several factors contribute to brain surgeries, including hypertension, high blood pressure, and diabetes, among others. These risk factors cause ruptures in the aneurysm, causing stroke; thus, the high prevalence of stroke cases in Brazil fuels the market growth. Also, primary healthcare advancements have focused on preventing stroke and other neurological disorders. Research studies conducted in the geographical location have confirmed that brain surgery is widely adopted as a treatment option, which fuels the growth of the market.

Many institutes are working toward promoting research associated with neuroscience in Brazil. For instance, the Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN) is a São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). This funded institute inspects the molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy, stroke, and lesions associated with these diseases. These research activities have shown vital applications for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to better understand normal and abnormal brain function. The Neurosurgery Unit of the Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal (UNC/HBDF) is the reference facility for approximately 4 million individuals that inhabit the Federal District and nearby municipalities. The unit conducts an average of 1,300 neurosurgeries per year, ~250 to treat cerebrovascular diseases, and about 130 microsurgeries to treat cerebral aneurysms, counting ruptured and unruptured ones. Thus, the developments in the neurological segment are expected to propel the market during the forecast period.
