According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 1.7 to 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries are reported each year in the U.S., of these, 10% arise due to sports and recreational activities. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) data stated that, in 2018, 454,407 sports-related head injuries were treated at the U.S. hospital emergency rooms. This highlights the high growth prospects that lie ahead for craniomaxillofacial device manufacturers in the country. 

The U.S.Temporomandibular Joint Replacement product type segment is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% during the forecast period.

Rising incidents of road accidents are also expected to increase the demand for craniomaxillofacial devices. According to Columbia University (Department of Neurology), motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) among children and adults in the U.S. The rise in the number of road accidents across the globe is expected to boost demand for craniomaxillofacial devices, especially in developing countries.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2020 around 256,085 maxillofacial reconstructive surgery procedures were carried out in the U.S. The procedure is also among the top five most carried out plastic surgery procedures in the country. As per John Hopkins Medicine, around more than 3.5 million injuries from sports are reported each year in the U.S. and almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related injuries

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the craniomaxillofacial devices market. It had led to the cancellation and rescheduling of surgical procedures at a global level. For surgeons working in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) field, surgical procedures are limited to urgent or emergent cases. Medartis AG, a key manufacturer of craniomaxillofacial implants reported that the company’s products witnessed a decline as elective procedures were halted resulting in production stoppages and supply chain bottlenecks.

Renishaw Plc, a major player in CMF implants in Europe stated in its annual report that its medical dental line had lower sales than in 2020, as demand for additively manufactured CMF implants and dental structures was affected by the pandemic due to the reduction in non-essential operations.

However, the market has witnessed a positive recovery in 2021 and many competitors in the market experienced growth in sales of CMF products as medical surgeries resumed with strict Covid-19 protocols in place.

Product Insights

By product segment, the CMF plate and screw fixation segment held the largest market revenue share of over 70% in 2021. This dominance is attributed to its wide usage in various surgical procedures such as deformity correction, orthognathic surgery, tumor removal, and pediatric surgeries. Bone graft substitute, on the other hand, is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. BGSs are used in the reconstruction of bone defects and the case of spine fusion. Limited availability of donors has led to a shortage of natural bone grafts creating a demand for bone graft substitutes.

Some of the popularly used synthetic bone substitutes include calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate ceramics, and bioactive glass-ceramics. France-based Biomatlante offers MBCP biphasic calcium phosphate synthetic bone graft substitute. It closely resembles the architecture of natural human bone and gradually dissolves in the body, promoting new bone formation through the release of calcium and phosphate ions.

Material Insights

Metallic implants led the overall material market with a share of over 70% in 2021. Features such as lower corrosiveness, ability to provide rigid support to the fractures, comparatively cheaper price than bioabsorbable counterparts, and higher market penetration than other materials support market growth. Metals are used in CMF surgery because they are less corrosive and physiologically support the fractures.

Titanium and its alloy are the most commonly used metals for CMF surgery due to the advantage associated with it, such as lightweight, inert metallic properties, the strength provided to implants, high tissue acceptance, and corrosion resistance. It is used in mandibular reconstruction.

Bioabsorbable materials are projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period, as the usage of these implants nullifies the chances of a second surgery, required in the case of metallic implants and easy assimilation into the body system. Technological advancements in CMF surgery, for example, self-enforced technology and advantages associated with it such as biocompatible, easily handled, degradable property, and reliability are the factors expected to propel the market growth.

Application Insights

The orthognathic and dental surgery application segment held the largest revenue with a share of over 65% in 2021. Based on application, the market is segmented into neurosurgery & ENT, orthognathic and dental surgery, and plastic surgery. Orthognathic and dental surgery held the largest revenue with a share in 2020 owing to its wide usage to correct a variety of minor and major skeletal and dental deformities. Neurosurgery & ENT was the fastest growing owing to the increasing incidence of trauma and spinal disorders requiring Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) management during surgery. Surgeons perform craniotomies to gain greater access to the brain during neurosurgery. Craniotomies are done to treat trauma, infection in the brain, skull fractures, aneurysm, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, pressure in the brain after a stroke or an injury, and to remove blood clots from a head injury.

Moreover, the adoption of deep brain stimulation procedures is one of the key contributing factors to this segment's growth. In deep brain stimulation, the implants are used to cover the skull after inserting the electrode. Neurosurgical application of cranial implants consists of surgery on the skull and otolaryngology procedures. These devices assist in treating neuro-oncology, neurovascular diseases, spinal disorders, dura mater repair, transnasal skull-based surgery, deep brain stimulation, pelvic or cranial trauma, and CSF management. Medpor bioabsorbable implants are most commonly used for neurosurgery.

Also, the introduction of surgical navigation technology for ENT procedures is expected to fuel the growth of the craniomaxillofacial devices market growth over the forecast period. Advantages associated with this technology, such as ease of use, 3D display, and real-time virtual anatomy updates are anticipated to boost its adoption in near future.
