Skull Clamp Market Analysis
The increase in incidence of traumatic brain injury and the rise in brain and spinal procedures are among the main drivers propelling the skull clamp market growth. However, the rising incidence of injuries brought on by skull clamps.
Skull Clamp Market Overview
Skull clamps are frequently used in cranial neurosurgical procedures and selected cervical procedures. Its demand is majorly driven by the growing number of neurosurgeries owing to the rising incidence of brain and spinal tumors, brain aneurysms or cerebral aneurysms, and Parkinson’s disease.
According to data published by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, ~6.5 million people in the US (i.e., 1 in 50 persons) suffer from an unruptured brain aneurysm every year, and ~30,000 people suffer from cerebral aneurysm rupture yearly. The data also reveals that ~40.0% of ruptures are fatal and need intensive care and immediate attention. As per the National Library of Medicine information in 2022, the global prevalence of cerebral aneurysms was ~3.2%, with a mean age of 50 and an overall 1:1 gender ratio; this ratio changes significantly among people of age 50 and above to reach 2:0, with the predominance of females. Further, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2023, ~25,400 adults in the US were diagnosed with malignant tumors in the spinal cord and brain, and about 18,760 people will die due to these. Patient positioning and head fixation are the most crucial aspects of all brain surgeries. These procedures require an accurate understanding of the scalp and skull anatomy and the procedure for obtaining aneurysms. Hence, the increasing prevalence of brain aneurysms, brain cancer, and other neurological diseases that require surgeries is among the crucial factors driving the market growth of skull clamps.

Skull Clamp Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Number of Traumatic Brain Injury Cases Favors Market
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) often occur due to severe sports injuries or road accidents. There are four main types of TBIs—concussion, contusion, penetrating injuries, and anoxic brain injuries. The symptoms of TBIs differ with the extent of damage to the brain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were about 69,000 TBI-related deaths in the US in 2021. A report by Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) states that ~2.8 million people in the US suffer from TBIs annually, and ~280,000 of these cases result in hospitalizations, with ~50,000 injuries being fatal. According to an article, “Traumatic Brain Injury: A ‘silent epidemic,’” about 2 million Americans suffer TBI every year, and about 100,000 people die due to TBI. Likewise, per the Brain Injury Association Waterloo-Wellington, ~11,000 fatalities are observed yearly due to TBIs in Canada, resulting in over 6,000 people becoming permanently disabled with post-traumatic brain injuries. Also, according to the European Commission in the European Union and the UK, ~2.5 million people suffer a TBI each year, of whom 1.5 million are admitted to hospital and 57,000 die.
Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) is an extreme surgical treatment of medically refractory Intracranial Hypertension (ICP) after TBI; it is often executed as urgent surgery (primary DC). With the help of skull clamp, healthcare professionals can surgically treat TBI using DC. With the rising cases of TBIs, the number of brain surgeries performed is increasing in various countries, which bolsters the use of skull clamps to prevent the unintended movement of head in the surgeries.
Increasing Prevalence of Neurological Disorders to Create Market Opportunities
There is an increasing prevalence of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. According to WHO, in 2024, about 50 million people worldwide are suffering from epilepsy, and about 80% of these people live in low- and middle-income countries. According to Parkinson’s Foundation, nearly 1 million people in the US had Parkinson’s disease in 2023, and the cases of the disease are expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030. As per the same source, in 2023, more than 10 million people across the world were suffering from Parkinson’s disease. According to Alzheimer's Association, about 6.9 million people aged 65 years and above in America are expected to suffer from Alzheimer’s in 2024. Drugs are generally used for the treatment of these diseases. However, there is an increase in focus on the use of surgical methods such as deep brain stimulation for the treatment of neurological disorders, specifically when the drugs have low effects. According to an article “Epilepsy Surgery”, epilepsy patients may be treated with the help of a small electrode. As per the same article, about 50% of patients who undergo neuromodulation surgeries may experience better control of their seizures. Between 50% and 85% of individuals who undergo resection surgery or a hemispherectomy may experience significant improvement in seizure control and become seizure-free in some cases. Due to the better results of surgical procedures for neurological disorders, there will be an increase in the number of patients that will opt for these options, which, in turn, will fuel the number of neurological surgeries. As these surgeries are related to the brain, stabilization of the skull during the surgery is important. Thus, there will be an increase in demand for skull clamps. Thus, the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the skull clamp market during the forecast period.
