Cranio Maxillofacial Implants Market

Market Overview

Facial fractures and their occurrences in every part of the world have bolstered the importance of cranio maxillofacial surgeries. Reinstating the natural shape and functional of jaw needs improved, durable and effective fixation of the injured oral, cranial and facial bones. Installing cranio maxillofacial implants continues to gain prominence as a successful and widely-preferred surgical tool.

The use of such implants in cranio maxillofacial surgeries is likely to gain traction, strengthening the growth of global cranio maxillofacial implants market. The global market for cranio maxillofacial implants was estimated to be valued at US$ 1,044.7 million in 2014. By registering a projected 6.2% CAGR, the global cranio maxillofacial implants market& is slated to attain market value of US$ 1,498.6 million by 2020-end.

Key Market Dynamics

The growth of cranio maxillofacial implants, acutely, is incidental to the number of car accidents reported around the world. Higher occurrences of facial injuries and traumas caused to the mouth due to such accidents will continue to boost the medical use of cranio maxillofacial implants.

Facial fractures, emerging techniques for oral and facial surgical procedures, and higher success rate of such surgeries is slated to promote the use of cranio maxillofacial implants throughout the forecast period. Nonetheless, the irregularity in healthcare services among the key regions shall hamper the overall expansion of the global cranio maxillofacial implants market. Active participation of developed countries & regions and their healthcare infrastructures renders the cranio maxillofacial surgeries expensive.

While high costs divert patients towards alternative and affordable treatments, the variable insurance policies further complicate the adoption of cranio maxillofacial implants. Lack of insured reimbursement for such medical surgeries lowers their adoption rate in developing countries. Besides, additional treatment expenditure from double jaw surgery also restrain the growth of global cranio maxillofacial impants market.

Segment Analysis

As a product, the cranio maxillofacial implants are segmented into plate & screw fixation systems, distraction systems, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) replacement devices, flap fixation devices, and bone graft substitutes, among others.
