Cranial and Facial Implants Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Cranial and Facial Implants Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 is expected to have a significant impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period. The innovative product development during COVID-19 is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, in the article titled " Nagpur Company's implant replaces man's 75% skull lost to mucormycosis" published in February 2022 A custom-made titanium implant created by Lucid implants was used to restore the contour of the skull and face, restoring the patients' appearance and function of protecting the skull. This skull was 75% reconstructed and had to be done due to black fungus post-COVID-19. Such developments are expected to boost the growth of the market during the pandemic period. Also, the increase in surgeries during the post-pandemic period is expected to drive the growth of the market.

Cranial and facial implants are the implants used during cranial and facial reconstruction to repair abnormalities in the shape of the skull and facial features resulting from injury, infection, malignancy, birth defects, or any genetic disorders. Cranial or facial defects that are lesser than 3 cm in diameter do not require reconstruction and can be repaired with bone cement and if greater than 3 cm are treated with cranial or facial implants. Generally, custom-made implants are designed for patients depending upon the patient’s condition. Cranial or facial implants are made of biocompatible materials such as polymethyl methacrylate, porous polyethylene, and titanium and the material of the implants depends upon the surgeon’s decision.The Ministry of Communications and Transportation (Mexico) data updated in September 2020 shows that a total of 8,500 people were injured in road traffic accidents. In addition to that, Mexico recorded 2.9 road fatalities per 10,000 registered vehicles, while Seniors over 75 years of age suffered road fatalities at a rate of 21 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2019, as per the International Transport Forum, Road Safety Report 2020. Therefore, the burden and growing road accident cases are estimated to boost the demand for the cranial and facial implant market. Rising incidence of accidents, rising prevalence of acquired or congenital deformities of the face along with technological advancements in plastic surgery procedures is the key driving factors in the cranial and facial implants market.

Key Market TrendsPorous Polyethylene Implants Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Cranial and Facial Implants Market

Porous Polyethylene Implants are ideal for craniofacial reconstruction and augmentation due to their porous nature, excellent soft-tissue growth, and coverage.

According to World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, estimated that road traffic accidents cause up to 50 million injuries globally and road traffic injuries are the 8th leading cause of death for people of all age groups.

Porous polyethylene implants segment holds a significant market share in the cranial and facial implants market and is anticipated to show a similar trend over the forecast period due to lower material cost and the ability to suture the extraocular muscles directly to it without the use of covering material such as fascia or sclera.

Rising incidence of accidents and rising prevalence of acquired or congenital deformities of the face are the key driving factors in the porous polyethylene implants segment. The article titled" Introduction to Birth Defects of the Face, Bones, Joints, and Muscles" published in May 2020 mentioned that deformities of the skull were present in about 2% of births. Such prevalence of congenital deformities is expected to drive the growth of the studied segment.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

North America is expected to hold a major market share in the global cranial and facial implant market due to the rising incidence of accidents and brain injuries and the rising prevalence of acquired or congenital deformities of the face in this region. The Plastic Surgery Statistics Report 2020 published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that 2.3 million cosmetic surgical procedures, 13.2 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures, and 6.8 million reconstructive procedures were performed in the United States in 2020. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), updated in 2021, about 35.0 million people in the United States were treated in an emergency department for injuries. Furthermore, technological advancements in plastic surgery procedures and growing healthcare expenditure levels are fueling the growth of the overall regional market to a large extent.

According to the National center for science and engineering statistics, the United States spent 23.5 billion USD on research and development in FY 2020. Also, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2020 published that annual health care costs nearly 3.8 trillion USD in the United States. Thus the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
