global pediatric cranial remolding orthoses market size was USD 198.3 million in 2021  and market is projected to touch 301.65 Million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.

Pediatric cranial remolding orthoses is a medical tool worked to address head shape abnormalities such as plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly. This device is particularly useful for infants aged 3 to 18 months; however, it is most effective when initiated at an earlier age owing to the gradual decrease in growth rate as the child ages. 

These baby helmets are customized to comfort the shape of the head. It provides a protective cushion that distributes pressure more evenly across the skull, preventing excessive pressure on one side of the head. Also, the helmet is designed to facilitate the expansion of the skull bones in areas where they appear flattened, accommodating the growth of the underlying brain.

The market growth is influenced by several factors, including increasing awareness of cranial deformities, rising healthcare expenditure, technological advancements in cranial remolding technology, and the high prevalence of cranial deformities in infants and young children. Thereby, the market is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. Based on by type, active helmets are the largest segment. On the other hand, scaphocephaly and Brachycephaly are the leading application segment in the market during the forecast period. 

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Declines in Non-Essential Medical Procedures

The COVID-19 pandemic has initially led to a decline in the pediatric cranial remolding orthoses market, there was a significant decline in the market due to disruptions in the global supply chain and restrictions on non-essential medical procedures. However, it has also accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring technologies and led to a growing preference for non-invasive treatment options, which could contribute to the growth of the market in the long term.

Driving Factors

"Increasing Prevalence of Cranial Deformities Surge the Demand for the Remolding Orthoses"

The growth of the market is mainly driven by the increasing prevalence of cranial deformities. The prevalence of cranial deformities, such as plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly, is growing globally, in part due to factors such as increased awareness, changes in infant sleep positioning, and the use of car seats and other devices, are the potential aspects to spike in the demand for cranial remolding orthoses throughout the forecast period. 

"Rising Preference for Non-Invasive Treatment Options Boost the Growth of the Market"

Another driving factor of the market is the growing preference for non-invasive treatment options. Non-invasive treatment options, such as cranial remolding orthoses, are becoming increasingly popular due to their effectiveness, safety, and ease of use. This trend is expected to continue as more patients and healthcare providers seek out non-surgical treatment options which will support the growth of the market.

Restraining Factor

"High Cost of Cranial Remolding Orthoses Can Impede the Expansion of the Market"

The high cost of cranial remolding orthoses can be a major barrier to treatment for some patients, particularly those without insurance coverage. Limited insurance coverage can result in out-of-pocket costs that are too high for many families to afford which can restrict the demand for these remolding orthoses.
