Craniomaxillofacial Devices Market Analysis

Craniomaxillofacial Devices Market Analysis

The surging prevalence of facial injuries and fractures is projected to accelerate the craniomaxillofacial devices market expansion in the coming years. Some of the most profound factors driving the incidence of facial fractures include incidents such as motor vehicle accidents, domestic accidents, work-related injuries, violence, and sports, among others. Among these, road traffic accidents account for a dominant portion of maxillofacial trauma events. Non-fatal traffic accidents drive the patient influx at healthcare facilities every year.

As per the Global Burden Disease 2017 Study, facial fractures accounted for approximately 7.5 million new cases and around 1.8 million prevalent cases. With respect to age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs), the overall rates were 98, 23, and 2 per 100,000 individuals, respectively.

Such high incidence of road accidents results in nasal, mandible, and cranial bone fractures resulting in significant number of surgical procedures, thereby driving the craniomaxillofacial devices market demand. These statistics indicate high growth potential for market, with adoption of craniomaxillofacial devices to treat these fractures & injuries.

Facial fractures are serious injuries that can be potentially disabling injuries and mandate complex surgical care. Delayed treatment of facial fractures might have devastating consequences, further leading to permanent dysfunction in certain cases. Moreover, there is notable burden of facial injuries in developing economies that lack access to timely and effective care. Hence, these factors are projected to increase the number of people opting for craniomaxillofacial surgeries, thereby boosting the market forecasts.

Based on product, the market is segmented as MF plate and screw fixation system, cranial flap fixation system, CMF distraction system, temporomandibular joint replacement system, thoracic fixation system, and bone graft substitute system. MF plate and screw fixation system accounted for highest market share in 2021 and is forecast to expand at 8.9% CAGR during the estimation timeframe.

This majority market share is majorly due to its broad range of application in multiple surgical operations comprising deformity correction, tumour removal, orthognathic surgery, and other surgeries. Also, rise in craniomaxillofacial procedures with the increased number of accidental events & the rising demand for technologically advanced products is expected to boost the market trends in the forthcoming years.

Based on implant type, the market is segmented as standard implants, and customized/patient-specific implants. Standard implants segment dominated the market with more than 66% revenue share and is projected to witness substantial growth during the analysis timeframe. With growing R&D activities and innovations, companies have made significant contribution in manufacturing technologically advanced craniomaxillofacial products for standard surgical procedures. Hence, improvisation in standard implants has resulted in minimal problems associated with craniomaxillofacial devices, thereby augmenting the craniomaxillofacial devices market outlook.

Based on location, the craniomaxillofacial devices market is segmented as internal fixators and external fixators. Internal fixators segment is projected to reach over USD 2,294 million by 2030. A host of factors such as the developments in internal fixation technology, enhancements in plating materials & devices, and the surge in the volume of facial trauma have propelled the expansion of utilization spectrum of internal fixators for facial fractures.

Moreover, with growing knowledge, manufacturers-initiated research & development activities pertaining to resorbable rigid fixation systems that are being preferred in managing the facial trauma as these novel systems overcome several pitfalls and complications concerned with conventional implants. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are anticipated to drive the market expansion in near future.

Based on material, the craniomaxillofacial devices market is segmented as metals, bio-absorbable materials, ceramics, and polymers. Metals segment accounted for majority share with more than 58% revenue share and is set to experience notable business growth during the forecast period. Metallic implants possess the ability to impersonate the assistance and protective features of bone, with nominal effect on bone healing, remodelling, and growth.

These implants also aid in avoiding toxicity to associated tissues. Plating mechanisms for CMF implants are composed of cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. Each metallic implant features basic biomechanical and biocompatible mandates to be acceptable clinically. Thus, clinical benefits offered by metallic craniomaxillofacial devices are anticipated to promote the market share.

Based on application, the craniomaxillofacial devices market is segmented as trauma reconstruction surgery, orthognathic surgery, and plastic surgery. Orthognathic surgery segment is expected to reach more than USD 1,228 million by 2030. The growing number of orthognathic surgeries with increasing prevalence of jaw deformities is set to drive the segment growth.

As per the Contemporary Clinical Dentistry article, in 2020, the surged number of developmental cysts recommends that variables such as eruption and exfoliation of teeth coupled with the continuous growth of jaws attributes to higher prevalence in pediatrics. The increased prevalence would drive the orthognathic application of craniomaxillofacial devices.

Based on resorbability, the craniomaxillofacial devices market is segmented as resorbable fixators and non-resorbable fixators. Resorbable fixators segment is projected to reach around USD 975 million by 2030. The resorbable fixators product are considered as revolutionary devices for the use in craniomaxillofacial surgeries. The resorbable meshes are heated up and moulded in shape to fit at the application site.

Also, the resorbable fixators are convenient, fast, easy and safe-to-use. Hence, owing to the aforementioned factors and advantages, the demand and adoption rate of resorbable fixators is projected to grow over the forthcoming years.

Based on device type, the craniomaxillofacial devices market is segmented as reconstruction surgery devices and trauma surgery devices. Trauma surgery devices segment held substantial share with more than 32% in 2021 and is projected to witness notable CAGR over the forecast timeframe. The increase in number of road accidents along with several bone fractures is set to proliferate the demand and adoption rate of craniomaxillofacial devices. Furthermore, surge in the traumatic events since the last two decades is anticipated to proliferate the craniomaxillofacial devices industry landscape in coming years.

Based on end-use, the market is segmented as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Hospitals segment accounted for majority revenue share in 2021 and was valued at USD 822.5 million. Most of the craniomaxillofacial surgeries are conducted in hospitals, owing to the presence of technologically advanced equipment, facilities, and skilled professionals in these healthcare settings.

Also, several additional provisions such as intensive care units and post-surgical support will result in more people opting for hospitals. Hence, owing to several benefits offered by these healthcare settings, hospitals segment is projected to show substantial growth over the estimation period.

The U.S. craniomaxillofacial devices market dominated the North American region with more than 89% revenue share in 2021 and is anticipated to reach more than USD 1,280 million by 2030. This majority share is primarily owing to multiple factors such as the high number of road traffic accidents, traumatic events injuries, and the presence of prominent players in the U.S.

For instance, The U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), in 2020, stated that over 35,000 fatal road accidents were reported in the country. These incidents are classified as high-energy trauma events that lead to facial fractures & injuries among some of these patients. These traumatic incidents are projected to propel the adoption rate of craniomaxillofacial devices in U.S.
