Dura Substitutes Market Size

Dura Substitutes Market Size

The global dura substitutes market size was valued at USD 214.2 million in 2024 and is expected to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2034. The market growth is attributed to the continous advancements in medical technology, increased focus on minimally invasive procedures, growing awareness and adoption of neurosurgery, and rising aging population, among other contributing factors.

Moreover, the rising incidence of neurological conditions, including brain tumors, trauma, and congenital malformations, drives the demand for dura substitutes. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), neurological disorders affect up to 1 billion people worldwide. Similarly, the American Brain Tumor Association reported approximately 700,000 people in the U.S. living with brain tumors in 2023, with 88,970 new cases of primary brain tumors diagnosed in the same year. Neurosurgical procedures for these conditions require dura substitutes to repair or replace the dura mater, contributing to market growth.
 

Furthermore, ongoing innovations in biomaterials and medical technologies are enhancing the quality and performance of dura substitutes. The development of more biocompatible, durable, and absorbable materials has improved the outcomes of neurosurgical procedures. These advancements in surgical techniques and materials contribute to the growing adoption of dura substitutes in medical practice.
 

Dura substitutes are medical materials used to repair or replace the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These substitutes are typically used in neurosurgery and spinal surgery to close defects or gaps in the dura caused by trauma, surgery, or disease.
