Global Pediatric Craniosynostosis Treatment Market Overview
Pediatric Craniosynostosis Treatment Market Size was valued at USD 5.32 Billion in 2023. The Global Pediatric Craniosynostosis Treatment industry is projected to grow from USD 5.65 Billion in 2024 to USD 12.65 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.32% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
Craniosynostosis is a common cranial malformation resulting from the premature fusion of cranial sutures and changing of the skull’s growth pattern. Generally, craniosynostosis is classified into two broad categories, namely, syndromic and nonsyndromic. Syndromic craniosynostosis accounts for approximately 25% of reported cases, and results from more than 180 identified monogenic syndromes.
According to the study published in the Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery in 2016, it was found that the prevalence of craniosynostosis is nearly 3.1 to 6.4 in 10.000 live births, which is reportedly rising. On considering the historical data, it is found that the prevalence of craniosynostosis, specially, sagittal and metopic suture synostosis, has risen significantly from 1997 until 2013. It is also reported that Sagittal synostosis was the most common type among all i.e. 44%. The Sagittal synostosis occurs predominantly in males.
Notably, rising technological advancements is the key factor driving the pediatric craniosynostosis treatment market. It has been observed that most of population has been giving preference to minimally invasive surgery for the therapeutic purpose. The major appealing aspects about opting minimally invasive procedure are short hospital stay, less pain, small or no incision, quick recovery time, and reduction in blood loss.
Various other push factors such as increasing awareness among people, escalating prevalence of craniosynostosis, increasing government assistance, amendments in regulatory framework, and rising funding and reimbursement are continuously contributing to the growth of the pediatric craniosynostosis treatment market.
Despite these drivers, there are some issues associated with the pediatric craniosynostosis treatment market. Lack of skilled physicians and endoscopists, challenges in research and development, risk of infections caused by endoscopes, high cost of treatment, and poor healthcare system in low and middle-income countries may hamper the market growth.
