Skull Clamp Market
The increasing number of brain and spinal surgeries and growing number of traumatic brain injury cases are among the prominent factors driving the skull clamp market growth. However, the growing number of injuries caused by skull clamps hampers the market growth. The surgical robot innovation and adoption is expected to bring new skull clamp market trends in the coming years
Surgical Robot Innovation and Adoption to Bring New Trends in Skull Clamp Market During Forecast Period
Brain conditions are complex to identify, and ~20% of patients remain unaware of their symptoms. The use of robotics is becoming increasingly prevalent in abdominal surgery, The technology is further being explored for its potential use in minimally invasive brain surgeries. Robotic surgeries allow surgeons to perform complicated procedures with more ease, precision, and control as compared to traditional ones. In addition, there is an increasing emphasis on minimally invasive surgeries and a focus on improving surgical outcomes, which drives traction toward robot-assisted surgeries. Robots allow surgeons to venture deep into the brain through tiny incisions. Several government authorities and organizations are offering financial aid and platforms for researchers to improve the landscape of brain diagnosis and treatment. The companies are also focused on encouraging the adoption of advanced technologies, such as robotics, in neurosurgeries through research and development activities. The acceptance of robotic techniques for treating brain diseases is expected to increase due to their ability to improve overall performance with high accuracy, greater flexibility, and accelerated recovery. Furthermore, the techniques are expected to streamline processes and workflows, along with improving patient experience and delivering superior surgical outcomes. Thus, advancements in robotics are likely to bring new trends to neurosurgery, which would positively impact the skull clamp market in the coming years.
Based on geography, the skull clamp market is segmented into North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), the Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America). In terms of revenue, North America accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2023. The US held the largest share of the market in North America in 2023. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered to be a leading cause of death and disability among the majority of the population in the US. The CDC stated that 69,473 TBI-related deaths occurred in 2021, while ~214,110 TBI-related hospitalizations were recorded in 2020. This translates to over 586 hospital admissions and 190 TBI-related fatalities every day. TBI-related hospitalizations and death rates were higher among people aged 75 and above. This age group is responsible for approximately 32% of TBI-related hospitalizations and 28% of TBI-related deaths. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the cost of treatment of traumatic brain injuries in the US is ~US$ 45 billion each year. Moreover, an estimated 80,000–90,000 patients in the US suffer from disabilities due to traumatic brain injuries every year. Also, the penetration of skull clamps across several end user applications is expected to increase product developments, which is likely to fuel the skull clamp market in the US by 2030.
